Has anyone ever quit their previous job in an outlandish spur of the moment fashion or burst of anger? Id love to compare stories here as your job can have a direct hit on all aspects of your life. Are you now finally seeing the funny side of an awful situation????I would love to hear these tales of not loving what you have done! What is the worst job you have ever done to put food on the table?

Well my life seems a bit boring in comparison!
I have worked in Admin, most of my life, from being at TAFE, worked there, then insurance office, then a check-out chick on the gold coast, then... oh, this one is good, I worked at an Introduction Agency! I started as the receptionist and filing clerk and then I had to 'match' people up... I got caught doing up my resume one day on the job so they fired me on the spot . Then I was in various government departments, then onto real esate, then overseas(UK) I had one day on the job in the Lewes Council office, it was horrid so I never went back, then to a bakery, I left there to go to Ireland where i was in a shop called Tattoo and the most boring job I have ever had. Back in Oz i worked in Moomba (Oil & Gas fields in SA), then I became a mum. I try to quit this job at least once a day (usually first thing in the morning when one of my boys are trying to talk to me before I have my morning coffee). Now I am a party planer.
But to answer your original question, no I haven't left a position on the spur of the moment... I wish I had the guts to do it though! Call me Mrs Conservative
