My job is trying to kill me.

[Grapes]

Has anyone else had this experience? You've given your two weeks' notice, you're counting down the days on the calendar, and all of a sudden what was a fairly good or normal job becomes an exercise in insanity??

OK, so when I quit my job in West Van to go travelling, I shouldn't have been surprised. That one had been a nightmare for a while, so when I was throwing my field book into some bushes and screaming about how I had "JUST THREE DAYS OF THIS BULLSHIT" left, to the bemusement of some nearby construction workers, not a huge shocker.

But the next job I had was great.. little survey company in Australia.. the vast majority of my 3 months there was "cruisy", as they say down under. My walk to work was a leisurely stroll along Sydney's harbor, and I worked at a relaxed pace with some fun people.. didn't even start until 8:30 in the am!

Then just before I leave, I end 30 floors up a downtown Sydney highrise, on site BEFORE 6am, whacking in nails for a crazy Croatian and wondering where it all went wrong.

Now this job, the best of my life, is ending terribly as well.

Has this been a theme for anyone else??

I swear if they try and make me do anything stressful tomorrow I'm pretending to be sick and going home. What are they going to do, fire me??

You shouldn't have been nicknamed 'The Ripper' in a past life.

[Grapes]

I don't get it.

[tiedye]

It wasn't very funny anyways.

[Grapes]

Ok not quite that much

[tiedye]

Well it didn't exactly start off with bangs and whistles.

Like it was repeated over and over again....


Or maybe that was just my mantra when I left Stream.

I hear you, my job started to get shitty and next thing you know, I'm moving to Boston.

For the last month now I go in, sit down and think. Sometimes I just sit there. :(

"I uh, I don't like my job, and, uh, I don't think I'm gonna go anymore."

"You're just not gonna go?"

"Yeah."

"Won't you get fired?"

"I don't know, but I really don't like it, and, uh, I'm not gonna go."

"So you're gonna quit?"

"Nuh-uh. Not really. Uh... I'm just gonna stop going."
