I guess I should clarify.
I did tell my boss to F-off and then two days later I was back on the job because there really isn't anyone else in the province with nuclear qualifications available to replace me on short notice.
Now that things have slowed down around the office I was one of the first to be laid off until such time as things get busy around the office. This is expected to be some time in February or possibly as late as March.
For once in my life I kind of enjoy being laid off because this means I'm not on standbye and I'll actually be making more on unemployment than I would be making with the base salary my job paid me to sit home waiting for work to show up. I plan on taking the next two months to do some serious job hunting and I've already lined up a few photo jobs to keep the bank account topped up as well.
If I find a new job before the end of February then there's a good chance I'll be happier there than I have been with my current employer. If I don't find anything else worth my time then I have a job that will start up again before all my money runs out.
I just have to eat more ramen noodle than usual for the next two months and not buy fun things that I can't afford.
