Okay cool, sorry for misunderstanding. I wish you the best of luck- the confectionary business was ruthless even before Amazon. Isaac Asimov's parents ran a candy store and he determined it was not worth following in their footsteps when he was ten. |

hamjobs posted:I think honestly you did the right thing. If you hate the job and you're going to be financially okay, plus you have something loving amazing coming up--gently caress the man, and also quit your job. omg thank you. BoldFrankensteinMir posted:"Irrational act" and "power play" are synonyms in a dumb office job you hate. Dumb office jobs are like silt that forms under a constant stream of people who make all their decisions the same, because they all see the same statistics and make the same calls, over and over and over, like mindless water drops stuck in the path of least resistance. i definitely overthought it. youre right, the fact of being complex means there's no reason to have to explain to coworkers who of course won't take the time out to try and understand a complex thing. or to explain to myself, because happiness never has to be explained. ight. tight. this is sick Jaded Burnout posted:There is a persistent wisdom in the oldie programmer advice thread never to accept a counteroffer, so you're in line with that at least. that makes me feel good cause i admire programmers. |

I know theres plenty of office job threads but.... my boss, in addition to being the nicest person i know, she is also the best person at being automatic/pretending to be warm/caring upon every greeting and phone call. It's not a human possibility to be nice and care about 2 dozen different people a day in a high stress job. Keeping that up is work in itself.. why work somewhere where thats what you strive to or deal with the equal misery of being cold and hating everyone! why! life is short... if you can, you should take risks to find something natural and genuine for your attention and energy |

Hey, Byob'ers. The wife is looking around a property to move to without me. Our seperation is near complete and I don't have a toke to celebrate. Not looking forward to being without her, But AM looking forward to being alone. Just needed to get that off my chest. Could be better. Could be worse. Thank God for good coffee. |

grimwit i know this might not be relevant, but my grandparents on my mother's side lived an unhappy marriage, basically only for the children's sake. they were both very progressive people (my grandmother bless her marxist bones was the reddest of communists), but they were not in love for the 40-ish years they were married. and then my grandmother died of cancer. my grandfather, the ever-faithful husband, was always near and supportive, despite the fact that they were never a happy couple. and when she died, he flourished - travelling the world, doing all sorts of crazy stuff at a very old age, what im trying to say is that they would both have been a lot happier if they had been prepared to make that break a long time ago |

I'm sorry, man. I know this may not be what you want to hear right now, but count your blessings that it's a civil separation. I can't say that I'd be the best person to talk to, but if you want to shoot the poo poo and talk about dumb stuff just hit me with a PM.

Grimwit posted:Thanks, Everyone. I don't have much advice other than that you shouldn't feel bad about loving her. It's a *good* thing that you have a lot of love in your heart. Anyway it seems like you are handling this with more maturity than a lot of guys would in your situation, but maybe you could still benefit from some therapy? If you aren't already doing therapy now? Lots of people do therapy just for a short amount of time to help get over a rough patch.

Also confectionary licorice especially the soft nuggets are delicious and that's my opinion on candy. Bad idea: hambøng.
