Rational Thought Be Damned

I plan to quit my job tomorrow.

No, I don't have another one lined up.  Yes, I will give them two weeks' notice.  No, this is not the best choice.  It is the choice I feel is available.

I mentioned that I was considering finding some time between deployments to take a week off.  My supervisor said, "No."  He did not deny me a specific date range.  He

It Is Done

[damesirwamba]

I told my supervisor that my resignation date is December 31st, but for me to last that long I need the vacation time. I told him I was ready to give my notice today and be gone by the 19th. He said he would make some calls and try to work out some down time for me.

I have to quit to make him see the light?

Ah well...here's to a new year and a new direction for my life.

Sanity is the most important thing you have, protect it and keep it well. I think of you often... I still have the mug I was supposed to give you two years ago! It's in my hallway by the front door, waiting to be united with it's rightful owner!! Big Hugs, hope to see ya soon, ~Tracy Friend :)

Will you be out with the McBubbas this weekend? I haven't seen you in a social capacity in too long. I'm hoping I can make arrangements to camp this weekend, and spend some low pressure time with old friends.

Yes and you did better than I did. I got tired of all the blaming and being the target of all (ALL) the problems in the office and just tearfully walked out, handing the boss my timesheet and telling her "sorry I can't do better" and Boom, I was Gone...you did MUCH better!

Thank you for the praise. I did it well while I still have the capacity to do so. It's a struggle to keep coming in here every day. I realized I was close to the bad way out, and so did something about it.

You will be the better for this choice, I think. I had to take the dive in order to better my work existence. Sure, there are some things I don't care for here, but they are minimal compared to the mediocrity I left almost a year ago.
Be strong and go get em ;)

I'm considering drastic action, actually. I want to find my new career path. I can keep taking dead end computer jobs and labor in an industry I gave up on years ago, or I can take this opportunity to find a new option. I have to try something different or I'll be right back here in a year.
