I could get a job 103 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 4: more easily than she could. 104 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 8: So I put in my notice and. 105 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: Should have inspired her. 106 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 3: You guys, he should have gotten another job before you 107 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 3: put in your notice. 108 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 6: Anybody. 109 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 4: I was able to get another job less money, but 110 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 4: I did get another job for it.
