I'll quit my job soon, I announced it today. I gaved them a condition, should they accept it, I'll stay. Otherwise, I'm gone.
Damned shame too, all day do nothing and now I'll probably have to get another job. But at least I'll get my yearly 3 month vacation. That alone is worth all the money in the world.
Why are you quitting?
Razor, unless you're really sure your demands will be met, you can't just threaten to leave like that, especially without a backup plan.
Even if you do have your reasons (and I'd like to know what they are too), think of all the perks, many of which you've posted about here.

It's the distance. In Romania, few people have cars, and those that actually have them, end up not using them except when absolutely necessary, and even then it is like 3-4 times a year.
My Work place is in another city, it takes me, now, about 1 hour and 30 minutes to get there. So there's 3 hours wasted in a day. Assuming traffic is not very congested. I basically have to go to the outskirts of my city, and take the shuttles supplied by the employer. The problem is that if you are late, even 5 minutes, shuttles leave and there is no way to actually get there.
Starting from 20 March, the location is being moved about 1 Kilometer away from where it is right now. That means even more time wastes, I'll have to get up with 5 minutes more that I already get up. And I'll be home late as well. Same problem: if you are late you are dead.
I doesn't really help my carrer anyway. I am an excellent administrator, but on the other hand I'm good at everything else as well. I can do so much more that what I am doing here. All my knowledge and here I'm updating skype application on computers.
I understand. Long distance commuting is heavy and does drain your life, yes. My point about the backup plan still applies - you should look for something better before quitting what you already have, but I trust you'll be doing it soon.
Also happens to me, but you can't expect to use and show all your knowledge every day. Besides, when the administrator is doing his job well, everything works and there are no complaints
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
Ever take the wrong path and end up in the city border, sidetracked by 8 km? Well, that happened to me twice yesterday (by which I mean January 27th, because "yesterday" is the day before I last went to sleep, and "tomorrow" is the day when I wake up).
Also, I don't normally watch anime, but I started My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU (TV) - Anime News Network two or three days ago, and finished the first season already. The (male) protagonist is so cynical and analytical, maybe I like it because it's relatable

Making anon proud since 2012.
Yo guys, how's everyone doing? I'm really frustrated for the last two weeks. Someone hacked my Skrill account and stole 25€ from me! I noticed immediately and notified the support, but they took their sweet time (6 days) to reply what I already know. And whats worse I won't get my money back! I'm thinking closing my account and go somewhere else!
Never heard of skrill, definitely not going there now! I wouldn't risk staying there. Sad their support is apparently shit, things like this should be covered :(
No wonder identity theft is serious business, these criminals are taking 43200 of them a day

@ comics:
so, it must be (alice's) white rabbit that helps our b/w imprisoned-by-depression character by bringing her new books (of meaningfulness), continuing her saga - either way, her life still has meaning:
- to wait for rabbit, the savior, when there are no new available books
- to read his books, when available
- to tell her story (to the readers)
- so that anon can post the comics
- so that slik can comment on 'em
- so that some invaluable spam is generated
- etc.
how to assess whether something has meaning?
if its there, if it can be thought about, perceived, interacted with, etc. - that which exists in some form or shape, regardless of the particulars, material or spiritual
what does not have (a) meaning... yet? that which doesn't exist, which cannot be or has not previously been thought about, perceived, interacted with, etc. by anyone, anywhere, anyhow, etc.
even that which has no (defined) form or shape or presence can be viewed as potentially available, awaiting its 'birth', ready to be anything, as needed - in fact, in some cultures, this undefined or awaiting or undecided or neutral state of being is counted in as one of the absolutes (a part of the absolute truth(s))
in other words, it is not possible to define a meaningless thing/term/being/..., because as soon as you start defining, you're giving it a form/shape/... - it means you can access it in some way, ie. it exists and therefore has a meaning as well
so when we speak of meaningless things, it means they appear as such to us, it is our opinion that they are such or have such a quality (meaninglessness), it only seems that they do not have a meaning - it is a personal view of things, from a personal standpoint/viewpoint, by a person that usually does not have an absolute insight into things and therefore cannot access the fullness or wholeness of perception/understanding/awareness, needed to completely understand these relationships
are there meaningless things? regarding views from a partial/personal perception viewpoint: yes, some
are there meaningful things? regarding views from a wholesome perception viewpoint: yes, all of them, whether with form or without - meaninglessness here simply represents a lack of understanding thereof
got a little complicated, eh?
So I played GTA 5, story is OK I guess, no nore no less that the other GTAs but the atmosphere is missing. Radio music is shit, radio shows are inexistent, and streets are empty at night. There is just no feeling to it. The map is huge, graphics are great but it feels so empty.
