I came to my senses. I realized that if I've been unhappy at a job for a year and a half, committing myself to several more years there, and trying to learn more things there, would probably not improve my situation any. I went to work yesterday, told my boss I'm definitly leaving, that I've been unhappy and not myself for a while now, and I need to leave. She was all pissy that I hadn't spoken up before about being unhappy. As if it would have done any good. Then she was all pissy that 2 weeks isn't enough time to train someone for my position, which I'll admit is partially true. It would take months for someone to learn the inventory system as well as I know it. But 2 weeks is still something, and enough time to show someone the basics so they can keep the place supplied. And I'm not gonna ask a new employer to wait 2 months for me to start, just cause my current boss doesn't have her shit together. Then she says I'm putting her in this horrible position by only giving 2 weeks notice, cause who is she gonna get to take over inventory? We're short staffed as it is! (not my fault, bitch!) She claims she'll have to cut clinic hours, and that I don't care about any of that, all I care about is myself. So finally, after hearing about what a selfish and irresponsible person I am for about half an hour (I got to spend time on the phone with her partner too) I asked her if she wanted me to just leave today (today being Monday). She said I might as well, so I left. I called my new place, they said I can start on Friday and come to the staff meeting tomorrow.
I felt like crap yesterday, but today I feel totally renewed. I feel better than I have in a long time. People are just fucking amazing, aren't they?
