I want to quit my job!

[Artechim]

I hate my job. It is boring, repetitive mind-numbing work. The pay sucks, can't remember the last time I had any time off. If I could find someone stupid enough to take over then I would be out of here as quick as lightning.

I am wasting my life rotting away in a corner.

arte- could you find something part time, and put the kids in cc or fdc, just to mix it up a bit?

I was in a job I hated a few years ago - the pay was ok, conditions were good (public service) but I was bored out of my brain.

I quit and moved to the country, now we fart around doing random self-employed stuff topped up by Centrelink. And you know what happened?

I stopped biting my nails.
I gained several kilos (I was very very underweight)
With the weight gain, I stopped getting really horrible colds and flus every few weeks
My eyes improved and I needed to get less-strong glasses
I became *happy*.

DO IT

Of course now I'm 9 months pregnant, living in a rural area, unemployed and have 3 degrees to my name that are all pretty much useless in a rural area but hey - I'm happy and healthy. What value do you put on happiness?

[CrazyCat]

Me too!
I have been at my job for 6 + years, and i can't stand it any longer. Boss is dodgy and moody, I am bored out of my brains, pay is ok tho.....
I am preg with my 1st, so I'll be stopping work in about 6 months, but I don't think I can hold out that long!!!
I wish I could think of something to do for 6 months instead of THIS! ARGH.

Why do you have to find someone to take over before you quit???!!! You hand in your resignation & it becomes their problem - not yours & it shouldn't be yours. I can understand about being conscience and all but sheesh you sound very unhappy and that could end up being detrimental to your health.

Ladies, Arte is a SAHM.

This too will pass.
Maybe it's time to follow up on the notion of some study...or a move to a different location?

[Artechim]

Sorry, was having a bit of a pity party.

Yip, SAHM. No resigning from that.

Ginger, Miss A gets upset if anyone else holds her so I wouldn't put her in daycare - she is just too little. And jobs around here would be a choice of vege packhouse or a check-out chick. Doubt it would even cover the cost of daycare.

RumpledElf, I already live in a country town with a useless degree - funny how one persons heaven is another persons hell lol

Crazycat, soon your bubba will start wriggling around in there and you can pass your day poking your belly to make it move!

MD, have enrolled for some study next semester, just waiting to hear if I am accepted. I don't know if that will relieve the day to day boredom of sitting around with whinging kids though. As for the moving...touchy subject in this house.

Loads of 's for you hun.

[kelebek]

it does suck and I think the fact that you can't just up and quit and therefore taking the choice out of it makes it that little bit harder. I struggle with one I take my hat off to you for raising 2.

Oh, sorry hun, I didn't realise I thought you were in a paying job that was crappy! lol so, yes obviously you can't resign. Sorry, no advise just *hugs*. I work part-time & DD goes to creche then the rest of the time I am at home with her, so I get break from the 'boring, repetitive mind-numbing work'

I hope you get accepted into your course & that gives you some 'me' time and something else to focus on.
