Impulsive Idiot?
H E L P
I need some advice.
Give me loads.
Today I went to work sick. I tried my best not to vomit but was unsuccessful and then was promptly sent home. My boss got all hateful that I'd even showed up, proclaiming the fact that I'd be struggling to run the bank on my own once I infected the entire place. Ugh. So I went home, a portion of the day will be unpaid due to the fact that I've not worked there long enough to earn any time off. The sick time is incredibly non user-friendly. The thing is, now I wish to never return. Am I a horrible person? People face these thoughts on a daily basis and just keep trudging through the job they hate. See, my husband and I tend to make up our minds to do something and then just do it. We wanted to get married.. we did a couple weeks later. We decided we needed to move and are moving this weekend. Now I've decided I'd like to quit my job, help us get moved, settle into our new home..then get a new job close to our new home. I don't want to ever go back to my shitty job. Why does it seem so selfish and lofty-utopian to want a job that you enjoy? Why do I seem like a snobby bitch for not wanting to settle for this position I hate. I suppose the mature/responsible thing to do would be to merely wait it out a few months, or give my polite 2 weeks' notice only after having already secured a new job, however.. I have never claimed to be a) mature or b) responsible. So, I guess that means that in the next 10 hours I'll decide whether to sleep in and then start packing or just go back to work tomorrow and suck it up. I'm a really good worker so I deserve a good reference. I suppose it'd be foolish to blow that on one impulsive decision. Perhaps tomorrow I'll just put in 2 weeks' notice and that will be enough inspiration to keep me returning for 2 more weeks. Moving is going to be hard. It's difficult to work all day and then come home to pack and start moving. I work this weekend as well so our only choice is to move a few hours every evening. I'll cease this conversation with myself now. What to do. What to do. I'm convinced.. You don't have to hate your job. Go ask Clouds and Poop. You don't have to be miserable. Sure, plenty of people are.. but it doesn't have to be that way. All I want is enough money to pay the bills and buy something we want now and then. I desire nothing lavish. Argh. Help!!

I like the handing in your two-week notice first thing idea. If I may be so bold, your boss sounds like an asshole.
You don't sound like an impulsive idiot. You want to be happy, and enjoy your work. Nothing wrong with that at all.
And you should get a good reference from that place, even though it sounds like a shitty job.
Best wishes, whatever you decide to do =)
Ahh. It felt so good to just read something NICE. My boss is an asshole. My supervisor is a few years younger than myself and I'm pretty young, as it goes. Her mentality, however, is that of a 16 year old. Ick. Catty 16 year old girls, pulling hair and scratching with nails. She'd fit in perfectly.
I'm feeling a bit like an asshole myself because I called in to work today. I still don't feel lovely physically but could've made it through the day....so, call-in today, would like to hand in my 2 weeks tomorrow. I've put up with the place and while it doesn't add sparkle or brilliance to my resume, it is a steady job I've held and it might as well count for something.
Thanks for the thoughtful, supportive comment, sheri. (Though I do welcome those that don't agree with my own opinion. heh.)
Give your notice if you're going to quit. The karma gods will bless you or at least not be so angry.
Wise words. I will.. give the 2 weeks'. I'm a decent human and I try to behave as such. I do have to say, I've left a job before without any sort of notice and it was the greatest feeling..
This is all probably really good advice. But I'm definitely a fan of quitting with no notice on shitty bosses. Remember, if they wanted to, they could fire you and you'd be out the door with no notice. Why not fire them? Especially right at the most stressful moment, when they're slammedand they can'r possibly make it without you. That's when you should blow them a kiss and walk out the door. =)
