Well CHIT!!!

I was just "informed" that the wife is planning on turning in her resignation at work....TOMORROW!

I'm like WTF?

At least we could have sat down and DISCUSSED it first as we did with my retirement. But no G** Dammit! Always gotta be what "she" wants!

I just started on paying off al the CC's, loans, and getting us totally out of debt in a year or so. Dave said Murphy would step in occasionally....ain't that chit right!

Every time I try to do something positive, she throws a g**Da**ed VOLVO the works (a monkey wrench is too small a descriptive!)

So, unless business gets much better very quickly, the extras in life are gone for quite some time. Gonna have to get used to home cooking again.

The plan to get out of debt in a year or so (the main reason I sold the F#@*ing vette in the first place!) are Murphied all to hell and any shot at another vette in the next year or 2 are probaly gone.

I'm thinking about going back into F/T law enforcement and no disrespect intended to the brethren (or sisters) on here, but being another gov't whore for another 10 or so

...it's a hell of a lot easier than running your own business and I'm starting to think...maybe safer!

Sorry guys, just needed to vent. Better get my slave held ass back to work massa!

Wow I bet that really threw you off guard. I wonder how long she's been thinking of resigning.
Vent away my friend and release the blood pressure.

Wow, hard to imagine resigning from a job in this economy, but I'm sure she had good reason. I've been looking for one and there is not much out there.

Hang in there!

I know what you mean. People out of work. A close friend just left my house. He's behind on every piece of property he owns and getting evicted from his business location.

I know she's been wanting to retire and we've discussed it, but no dates had been discussed. It just doesn't make sense that she would want to do this right now? The timing sucks! But I can't tell her that. Outwardly I need to support her in whatever she decides, so I come here and vent.

I'm hoping that we can talk tonight and I'll find out whats bugging her?

If it's just the job, then there's not much I can do about that.

But as my buddy said, if she's being harrassed by some individual at work on a personal level, I can "fix" that quick, fast and in a hurry!

Hopefully, I'll know more tonight.

Thanks for the support folks

Damn bro!

That totally ZUCKS. Now is not the time to turn loose of anything that provides a paycheck. The market for other jobs/careers is truly farking ugly.

I'll share my MRE's with ya anytime and if I can help, just say so brother

Dayum! This is NOT the time to give up a good source of income.

Hopefully she's got a good reason that she'll be sharing with you soon. In the meantime, you can come here and

Been with my wife since 1952 (1st grade) and I've learned women are strange critters.Biggest problem they don't think like guys.

Lou G · 10-19-2008, 09:04 PM

My very best to you Gordon. Hope things work out for you and the wife.

**Rich Z** · 10-19-2008, 10:24 PM

Ouch! Man, you two need some better communications between you. Not meaning to intrude on your personal life, my friend, but if you didn't know this was coming, then there is a gap a MILE WIDE between you two that needs to be bridged. If she won't make the first step, then perhaps you need to...........
