good for you. sometimes wish i had the balls to do that... i'm hating my job so fucking much these days it's not even funny.

tell me about it. I'm currently locked into a weekend based contract, and, *fuck*

we're renovating a place from bottom to top. All of it. and honestly, by all accounts, this is actually a sweet piece of work experience... except for the fact that the guy I'm working for aka The Client, is so utterly fucking Retarded, it' insane.

Seriously, it takes me a full two days to De-Retard from this guy. Read: De-Contaminate.

no joke. I don't like Mondays.

Some people get the travel bug and never lose it. My sister sold her apartment and went traveling around the world a couple of years ago. And when I say "around the world", I mean literally. Europe, Africa, India, Nepal, Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Australia, and a shit ton of other places. Then she came back, was miserable, and then left again. She was in Thailand last month, now she's in Singapore, and next month headed to Nepal again.

Hey Stan,

Out of curiosity, how does your sister fund a trip that size and for that length of time? Would she pick up under-the-table jobs or score a work visa?

Stan · Oct 22, 2007

She's teaching english in singapore to help fund it. And she taught yoga in Thailand for a while as well. She also sold her apartment on Queen's Quay for a tidy profit right after the big real estate boom.

He was leasing a place...and he made a point of saying he quit his job. Shoot me for thinking this might negatively affect society to have another travelling bum wandering around. Imagine we all up and did that...then what mother fucker? CHAOS!!!Get back in line bitch!

Ineffective trolls are always so entertaining at first.

OTIS · Oct 22, 2007

He's just a threadcrapper, not a troll. Trolls are typically more clever about their flaming while this guy's post history is worthless in that regard.

niceeee. my biggest fear of taking the big leap to travel is being stranded in a country with no money! I would love to know how I would get an under the table job [haha not sexual]

In the course of the past week, I've broken up with my girlfriend (ya, I know... like the third one I've mentioned since I've been on here), quit my job, signed over the lease to my apartment, renewed my passport....and bought myself a one way ticket to everywhere.

Just wanted to share. For anyone who's ever thought of doing something along those lines, do it. I can't tell you how good it feels.

he's not going to be living in Canada and he doesn't qualify for EI. What's the problem?

Michlerish · Oct 22, 2007

I wouldn't be able to afford that... yet

How long have you been saving?

lol, as if - nice job judging someone you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about.

As stated before, go for it Scott - sounds like fate is throwing you some interesting challenges.... just remember to update your wiki and purchase a 1st class ticket home for your suits - heaven forbid wrinkles and creases.

p.s. LOTS of peope travel and then don't become a burden on the social system, in fact, many truely successful people become ex-pats and stay in paradise.

it's almost like a drinking fountain that spews cocaine out of one side and diet dr pepper out the other!

you can't go wrong.

Polymorph · Oct 22, 2007

i like this thread

but seriously, what the hells the point of living in a so-called 'free society', if, in your head (and psyche), you are not (free)

Fluidity. Mobility. Aren't these buzzwords here?

and so, fuk yeah, Scott, throw it off, and you'll either end up on top, or not.

(edit)

people like you end up looking like idiots by ostrisizing everyone that isn't like you. i predict a 2007 douchebag award nomination coming your way.

how is scott's taking a sabbatical from the workforce going to be a burden to any of us? some peoples logic is mind-boggling.

enjoy while you can. the time off will help you refocus.
