The pile of straw is getting heavy now..

and I'm tired of being a camel. Time to get off my lazy butt and find a new job. I've got a new manager... new to the company. I've been here 5-1/2 years...which, for this job, is 4-1/2 years too long. So this new guy. We have about an hour, total, of interaction time. He's jerked my chain, and probably thinks it's had some effect on my behavior here at work. And now he's scheduled a "performance improvement plan" meeting.

Kiss my ass.

I've spent the entire day considering my options....

1. Tell him right away to "Kiss my ass".
2. Attend the meeting and turn in my notice.
3. Attend the meeting and turn in my notice on Monday.
4. After turning in my notice, work the two weeks, and tell him to kiss my ass at the exit interview.
5. Find another job, and then turn in my notice.

The correct choice is obvious, but not the one I want to take.

In any case, I'm packing up my personal belongings from here at work this afternoon.

Gawd, I hate looking for a new job. I'm not even sure my suit still fits. Quit smoking, gained a few pounds...and damn, need another suit. Waait a minute..I just bought that suit this past summer...for an interview for a job I wasn't interested in.

I guess I'll go to the meeting, nod and smile, and spend the weekend doing the resume-to-Monster.com thing.

It's long past time for me to leave this current job, anyway.
