One of Those Days

My official last day of work is September 14th but after a recent turn of events and nasty-gram emails that I received from a colleague I'm seriously considering throwing in the towel today. I was literallythisclose to resigning today. What's 3 extra weeks pay really in the grand scheme of things when my sanity and emotional health are at stake? Part of my decision to move to France is so I can remove myself from the rat race and the politicking and all the other nasty things that take place in most corporate environments.

The irony of it all is that I supposedly work for a company that does things better than everyone else and we instruct others on how to get their "hows" right and yet our "hows" are completely wrong. Each day I have to remind myself that I have x-1 days left to make the 8 hours bearable and while it's a small comfort but I won't be completely happy until that number is equal to zero.

Yup, I've also moved (and am returning) to Europe to avoid the rat race, we know better than to corner ourselves needlessly.

A physician friend used to say "sometimes a month is not just a month, and a year is not just a year".

Though yea, 3 weeks pay might come in handy! but other than that, if it's not benefiting them, and not benefiting you, don't put up with torture needlessly...
