Dory - Thanks for the support. I hate doing things like this!

Damprye - I hope both your scans go well, and good luck with the job trial! Sorry your body isn't behaving.... that must be really irritating.

Kellie - Sorry about the BFN, but it could still be too early! It ain't over till it's over. And yes, I did what I had to do. It sucked, but I did it.

Bons - Ooo.... maybe you're pg?! Test, woman! Is AF late???

Reet - I love your positivity, what a way to look at the situation. I was feeling slightly sorry for myself just now until I read your post. Thanks, hun, you're the greatest. It IS a new chapter, and it WILL be great. I'm not looking for another job (not a conventional one anyway) because who's going to hire a pg lady?? I know it's discrimination, but seriously, I'm kidding myself if I think I can get work right now. I'm sure I can drum something up on my own though, I'm quite the crafty fox. I'll think of you on my scan day, and be wishing you a happy anniversary. Oh and no, they definitely didn't try to talk me into staying. I was shocked about that but I'll explain more in my 'me' rant at the bottom. So glad your puppy dog is home again, I agree they are like children, I'm so attached to my kitty and puppy it's crazy. Hope your bt results are good and confirm you've o'ed!

Stoked - Good to see you back, good luck this month! I hope you have another baby in your arms soon.

AFM, Well.. where do I start. I did it, I bit the bullet and I told the boss I can't do this anymore. I said I am removing myself from this situation, and he asked if there was anything he could do to change my mind. I said short of a transfer, (which isn't available) no. So he spoke to the grand poobah, and apparently that's that. They accept my resignation. My boss did tell me to speak to him Monday with my final answer, but then after he spoke to his boss (I guess he wasn't keen on keeping me after the way it turned out) I'm officially gone. I felt surprisingly a little bit sad, but overall dealt with it well. It's weird knowing I'll be gone soon, after 4 years service. I'm even more shocked that psychotic, slacking, nasty woman was their choice over me. Now I'm even more convinced she has something over them. She has to. Customers complain about her on an almost daily basis, and she's still there. But anyway, all in all I'm just relieved it's over, and I can let it all go and forget about that bloody circus of an office. I do feel some guilt though over DP now having to support me, but he swears it's ok, and we'll be ok. I hope he's right... I've really taken a leap of faith here. But I just keep telling myself I did it for the baby. I couldn't bear the stress any longer. Here's to the next chapter! It's really going to be an adjustment. I don't know what to do with myself.
