Addition to previous post

[selenay]

Da Boss just announced that, in view of how tired we both are and how
early we were in this morning, he hopes that we can scarper early this
evening.

I may have burst out laughing and expressed my extreme lack of faith
in any likelihood of that happening. Just slightly.

Er, leave early? In this job? Even leave on time, having only worked
my contracted hours? The day that happens, the sky will probably fall
in.

You do realise that if you went home on time and not a second after, there isn't much they could do about it? They could possibly make things difficult if you did it on a regular basis, but even then I'm sure sticking your record in front of a tribunal would make the tribunal say 'you can't do a thing, pay the girl and go away'.

I know you don't want to just walk out of it, not having another job to go to, but sometimes the stress really isn't worth it. You've had a lot of health problems to put up with and I worry that this isn't doing you any good, honey.

Take care of *you*. You're the most important person in the world. It's just a job and you're smart enough and talented enough that someone, somewhere will give you the right one eventually. Maybe a break is what you need. Give them that resignation letter, perhaps just re-write it so that it's a little more diplomatic! You'd be telling the truth if you said that your health is suffering and the commute is making it worse. You don't have to say that you hate the job, want to kill your Boss and that they're all a bunch of arseholes, even if that's how you feel ;)

See above. I absolutely agree. I was going to post something along the same lines, but there's no need now.

You and your health are far more important than this particular job.

*sigh* I'm not good at this whole balancing my health against my job thing. I keep wishing that I had the guts to just quit, but then I chicken out.

Even though I know that it would be better if I did. I'm either a coward or a doormat, but I can't decide which at the moment.

My prediction of not leaving early was dead on - I ended up leaving late, not getting a lunch break and all of that on top of starting early. Grrr!

At the moment I wish that I could get the courage up to just quit. I feel like everything would be easier if I did, but I'm worried in case something goes wrong with that plan. And not having any job to go to would just give my employers more ammo when they try to bully me into staying *sigh*

At the moment, I'm just too tired to get angry fight it all, so I'm letting it all happen. And I feel guilty about how they'll manage when I'm gone, even though that's ridiculous.

Sometimes I wish that I could just hide in bed and wait for the world to go away. Then I remember why that's a bad plan and get on with things, but when this crap is happening it's so tempting.
