After an impressive one (1) years (s) of employment I have quit my job. I stoods all I could stands, and I can’t stand no more. Long story short, if you’re in the mood to hire a web developer, I’m a good choice!

All of this has left me in the unfortunate situation of having to update my resume and hit the job market. This is not my favorite thing in the world to be doing. Actually, it’s probably my least favorite. I really prefer it when jobs find me, as they are somewhat prone to doing. I’ve only ever gone out and found one job in my entire life. and I didn’t much like it.

The thing is that I really like what I do for a living, and I’m really good at it, but I didn’t like doing it at my old job. I had to deal with too much crap and insanity. I think the piece de resistance was that when I quit my boss changed all of the locks. I have never heard of an employer doing that before. It does make me question the image I project to the world. Do I really come off as the type to quit a job, then rob the bastards blind? I wouldn’t think so, but I’ve been wrong before.

I think the real litmus test to this entire episode in my life is that I feel good. I’m happy that I don’t have to go back to work there. I feel kind of bad for them, because I was the only employee for the last year, and the new guy doesn’t know how anything works. I offered to stay on and help the guy out, but I was rebuked. I’m okay with that because I’ve got a lot of stuff on my plate, but Matt is a cool guy and I hate to leave him in the lurch.

I really want to rant and rave and go into detail about all of the stuff that pissed me off, but I won’t. I will say that I worked for MindTravellers Inc. for over a year and I never got over being embarrassed every time someone asked me who I work for. The jokes were inevitable, “what, do you do drugs and make websites?” I also hate that we always called ourselves “MindTravellers Inc,” Dammit, the inc is completely unnecessary! No one is impressed that we threw down the $100 to incorporate our business. And I freaking HATED our website. It is ugly and Halloween colored. Luckily I did not design it. I could go on, and on, and on, but I won’t. I honestly thought my boss was a really good guy (prior to the insanity) and I wish them all the best. I’m just glad I won’t be along for the ride, because I was getting car sick.
