My bad

On Saturday we drove back to our old hometown to attend my company's Christmas party.

Not the Burger Corp., but the one that I can't seem to quit because they can't seem to replace me.

It was nice seeing everyone again, but I really shouldn't have gone. It made me homesick for all the familiarity and security of my old job. So on the way home, MFH suggested that I once again approach the owner about giving me my old job back. Yes, quit the Burger Corp. and work from home, traveling to them once a month.

I did. I feel an obligation to them, and inventory reconciliation is coming up, as well as year end, which are two functions that only I know how to handle.

Basically my suggestion was met with the same lack of enthusiasm as before. I guess I expected that time and the inability to hire anyone might change his mind.

I even thought that maybe I was doing him a favor - with year end fast approaching and me having a full-time job elsewhere, there is very little I'll be able to do to help them out. Certainly I won't be able to spend any time up there.

But, no, he's not interested.

So I've decided to do things on my own terms. I am tired of working ALL THE TIME. I'll do things when I feel like it, if I feel like it.

Today I got an email from him asking how soon I can have the numbers ready for November as he is meeting with the accountant. He needs the info ASAP.

His bad.
