Wedding gift from my employer

Ya know, Nebe is absolutely correct. Change is good. You're outa that poisonous atmosphere, you'll have a little time to clear your mind and draw up a new and better game plan, and you'll learn more and/or different things at your next stop. Don't let bitterness get in the way of progress. That grommet did you a favor. New Wife, New Life. Congrats and good luck.

that does rot chef...but think if they did it right before you got married it would have ruined your honeymoon..
good luck...sounds like your better off

Sucked at 1st , but now 3 months later, everything is looking 1000x better. Managed to pay off my debt since then, and now have 2 interviews lined up with two of the best hospitality corporations in the state. Chow Fun Food Group and Newport Harbor Corporation, with one position only being a 3 minute commute!!

Next time you go to the RISAA show take note that one of the people making the most money is the guy with the portable candy/fudge booth. The margin on that stuff is huge. I'm not in that industry but, to me that looks like an achievable entry into the market - there's a ton of fairs, tradeshows and festivals and the fixed costs associated with the business are very low, no building, dumpster, phone, electric, etc.

Sounds like a good idea, but you can only prepare food for sale in a commercial kitchen, not in your home.

Maybe - but it's readily available wholesale too. It's important not to dismiss alternatives off-hand. If there is a guy already doing it - why can't that guy be you. To me, it looks like about the only thing standing between someone doing it is a list of wholesalers and about eight grand.
In the larger sense, I'm saying that if I were you, I would start thinking about creating my own job security and not leaving my livelihood in the hands of someone that can s-can you on a whim or at the end of one bad quarter.
