Put my two weeks in this morning, it feels wonderful. Already got another job lined up, which I sent them the acceptance letter yesterday.

Also got some oil and gas job prospects, if something happens with my new job.

I always liked Savannah. I need to visit again and take the newer ghost tours. Good luck on the move.

My job has gone insane lately...I just need a few days off to let my hurt shoulder rest and get ahead on homework.

You know things are bad when the only message you’ve received all morning is the generic Team Snapchat one.

Does this mean more time for road trips to help me go get that car that I want to go get?

Woo, new jobs! Forgot what that feels like...

Whoo hoo! How did they react? Presume they want you to ride out the two weeks ?

Similar boat here.

Jumped from one refinery to another.

Put in 2 weeks. Got a counter. New employer countered back stronger. Done deal.

I don’t even get that because I don’t have the app

That’s pretty awesome.

I used to be a frac engineer, I was thinking making a return to that field.

They were pretty shocked. Do want me to ride out the two weeks.

I deleted that app in January 2016, because of a girl. Never reinstalled it, so I didn’t even get that.

It doesn’t mean less time for road trips.

I think Savannah is nice to visit, not sure about living down here though.

Thanks!

To top it off, I got a call from BHGE last night. Once you have a job, it’s easier to get another one than it is to find one when you don’t have one.

I didn’t get it until January 2018.

I’m the only college student still stuck in 1987.

I had a dumb phone through all of college, 2008-2012. I used to use social media and the like, but I quit in late 2015; it’s hard to see people being happy when you’re miserable. I got better but I just never reactivated it.

THIS. THIS EXACTLY.^^^^^^^^^^^

I’m slowly deleting my social media for this reason.

We’re setting up another frac unit (South west Houston)

I manage Capital Projects. Cradle to Grave. :)

Heard the oilfield is coming back. Had a couple phone calls the past few days.

Yeah, it was just more depressing. I missed some things, but for the most part it was the right move.

Hell yeah! I put in my two weeks notice on Friday. Except I don’t have another job lined up, I’m just gonna improvise. I plan to do some freelance web development, fix some BMW’s for people, and maybe part out a few cars, that should make me more money than my job ever paid. Plus I won’t be stuck with a 9-5 job, which is what I’m sick of. I’m excited to have so much freedom— being able to go on random drives and road trips at a moment’s notice will be rad.
