Replying to So, it's my birthday and I just quit my job....

... uuuggghhhh. Such a weird feeling! I got a cake this morning from my coworkers(I'm diabetic), then called a meeting with my manager and quit to pursue a different opportunity.

Now, this is a career that I have been in for over 8 years and its fairly coveted position. Quitting was like breaking up with a girlfriend.. it was quiet and there were unnecessary nod's.

Anybody have any good quitting stories? I know mine was lack-luster, but more of leaving a family. Think about it, you spend more time at your job than you do with your loved ones typically.

and inb4: 14y/o's comments and "Good story bro", etc etc etc....
