Told my boss to....

When one door closes - another door opens. I wish you all the best as you begin this new chapter in your life!

No...had nothing to do with me wearing a kilt, although...perhaps the power of the kilt did help me to do this.

I'm working at the same restaurant for 14 years now, not happy with the way they treat me for several years.

I told them I will stay until July, so they have time to find someone else (that won't be easy)...gives me time to think of something else also.

I might start a small kiltpin business :mrgreen:

My wife Michelle earns enough (understatement), we've no kids, no debts, so there's no financial need to stay. Michelle likes to see a happy hubby and she supports my decision.

:-D

I've always threatened my boss that one day I'm just gotta chunk it all in and become a bartender...at least I could wear my kilts to work all the time...

Way to go. If you need any advice on starting your own business, just let me know. I've never been happier about work than since I started working for myself.

**GMan** · 3rd February 06, 09:23 AM

Glad to hear this Robin! Good luck on your business, and be grateful that you have a great and understanding wife.

only prob i see with working for yourself is that when you disagree with the boss calling him a a$$hole is rather self defeating...

:-D

I am sure you will maike out fine Robin. You are a very fortunate man to have a supportive partner who has your back (as we say over this way)

Go for it Robin. I was in a similar position 3 years ago when I worked for HSBC Bank - decided to leave and now work for the RNLI, a major UK charity, and have never looked back - less pressure and stress!
