A sense of calm.....
So I have been complaining about my work and my boss for a while now. It's not that I have to mow the lawn, or clean his car or even the numerous meaningless errands that I run in a day. It's his condesending, belittling tone of voice and just the way he is PLAIN RUDE to his staff and customers.
So this morning I LOST IT! He was rude one to many times. I can usually shrug it off and ignore it, but not today. I started crying.He was just SOOOOO condescending in his tone and once again he would re-do something I did. I HATE that I started crying, but I was done. He told me to take a few minutes. After I composed myself, I asked to speak to him. I sat down in his office and said that "I have to give my 2 weeks notice. (also in two weeks I am on a plane to Mexico and I didn't want that over my head to be coming back to that) I said " I don't want to leave you high and dry but I really get offended and take it personally when he snaps at me. I also need a FULL TIME job" I was promised a full time job by Christmas and it's June!! I understand that it is not me and that the business is just not there which = no full time job, but I need to think about me.
My boss asked me If I would work for a week when I come back from holidays because the other girl is going on vacation and I said I would. I don't want to leave them high and dry, even if I am mad. We left on good terms. He will still give me a really good positive recommendation/reference. He is even gonna give me my vacation pay before I go to Mexico. He understood where I was coming from. I can't have a job that I don't even matter. I need a full time job.
so the plan is to work for the next 2 weeks, then MEXICO. Work 2 more weeks and find my career. If I need to go to a temp agency as a default so be it. I felt I was just comfortable and I feel that there is an end in sight!
People may not understand how I can be so considerate considering he is a dick a lot of times (but he can be nice occasionally...moody as a pregnant woman) but I don't like leaving on bad terms. I actually feel really good. At first I was worried that I may be making this dessicion out of emotion because I going off my anti-depressants but I TRULY feel this is the right choice. I feel a little worried, but over all I feel empowered because I am doing something besides complaining and a I am doing so with my dignity intact!
7 more work days till my love and I go to mexico and get the luxury of removing ourselves from this day to day life and gaining some perspective
