So, my job is like a boyfriend....

[Fleur]

...that's how I feel. The kind of boyfriend who really doesn't do much for you, who makes you feel mad & bad, who you fell out of love with a long time ago...but you're too scared to leave.

I am so over the stress & drama & having to watch my back all the time.
The backstabbing & lying!
I just need to get up the courage to get out there & start looking for something else... I keep making excuses, I'm worried I won't find anything that lets me be flexible with the kids... i dunno.

Just needing to vent I guess.

Wow, I never thought of it like that.....! It is soooooooooo true!

I too, could never bare to leave due to the security that is offered, I can transfer to different sections - but I'll no doubt still find a d!ckhead or two there as well !

[sloane]

that's a great analogy! and that also wears down your self confidence because they don't treat you with the respect you deserve!

i hope you find something better soon

[Kazbah]

Ahhhh, but with a boyfriend, it's not ethical to look for a new one and keep the old one hanging on until you've something else lined up

Good luck, I hope you find something soon.

Yeah, I would cheat, then dump his backside! Use a classic breakup cliche, like "I just don't feel you're committed to our relationship..."

[Fleur]

Well they may just beat me to it. I had my USb 'borrowed' this week & it hasn't been returned yet, and tonight I find I have been shut out of the work computers (I have log-in access from home which I use to do reports each week).

I am trying not to jump too far to conclusions but it's hard to think why else this would be.

Not that I would mind going - but without anything else, and this close to Christmas.... yeah I'm freaking out a bit :/

[boomba]

Oh hun I know what you mean....its always hard to take that step and quit! Good luck x

[sloane]

i hope it's just a glitch that's keeping you out

[MummaSue]

You'll find another one to love - and who'll love and appreciate you better than this one.

DO IT!

[Daydream Believer]

Im sure you'll find another one you enjoy, it's not worth the stress of staying there

[Fleur]

Thanks everyone

I am loving the idea of being freeeeeee.... I just want to get past Christmas & getting the kids back to school

I guess I will find out today whether I'm getting the boot or if it's just a random co-incidence

[Madham]

hun i hope it is just a gliche

You deserve better though so id go looking for something else asap, nothing worse than dreading your job..

[Fleur]

:hug Thanks Madham ....
(btw, it took me a bit to work out who you were )

Yeah the job & I are quits.
Long story & I won't go into the whole thing. I have been told they want me for a particular role in a month or two, if I find something else in the meantime...well so be it. Then I was told he might reconsider now seeing as I am available four days a week from the 29th.

I really want to find a job before then so I can tell them no thanks.
