I've been thinking of leaving for a long time. It just seems too hard. i should have left last September.

[quote=mem0101;1221806]I am very unhappy there. I work 4 days a week, 12 or 13 hours a day. I called out sick on Thursday, and dread going in tomorrow. Sounds like situational depression, perhaps you should see someone about that before you uproot yourself and end up in an equally unpleasant situation. Only this time you will be far away from a support network of family and friends.

What I want to do is move to Florida. I have an apartment and would have to give two months notice, but that is fine because it will take me two months (of not working) to get my shit together. Donate things and throw things away and set up a Uhaul trailer.

I am just not prepared to give notice in 10 days that I am leaving the apartment in two months. Then don't. You need a plan before making an interstate move. #1 find a place to stay in FL. #2 find a job.

I do have money that I can live on from money that I saved before I moved out of my parents house (many moons ago). In fact I can (retire) bum around for one year when I do move to Florida.

Normally I would agree with you, but if he has the money to live for a year why the hell not??

Who doesn't have emotional issues? I just get winter depression, and I hate my job. I saved up enough to pay rent here for a few months and live in Florida for a year without having to work.

Thanks, I'll look into that on line.

P.S. I hope your dad is well. I stopped by my parents house and my mom was up and walking with a walker so it was a good day for her.

I just called out sick. I called out sick on Thursday and have off Fri., Sat. and Sun. Someone else called out sick too. Tomorrow is Martin Luther King day so they may not be too busy. Anyway if I do get fired it will be fine.

No, not everyone has emotional issues. Some have it so bad it clouds their judgement.

A couple of months should be enough.

You didn't answer why you hate your job other than the hours. Or is that just it bud?

If you are that miserable, then quit since you have the funds. But it is always wise to have another job lined up before you do. Eventually the funds run out :)

I;d let you borrow my money tree, but someone stole it shortly after it started blooming. :D

The hours are horrible. I work 12 hours, leave at 5:30 A.M. and don't get home until 7 P.M. I have to be asleep by 9 to get enough sleep for the next day.

The pay is not good. My boss is a lazy pot head that does not want to do any advertising or anything to improve our working situation or pay. He is very disrespectful to all of his employees. Only talks to us to complain and yell at us.

perhaps your just doing a shiitty job. No one is irreplaceable. I love hear people bitch about how the company is going to fold when they leave. never seen it happen. more advertising is not always the answer. repeat and referal is where it's at.

I am gonna wing it when I get down there. Live in a Motel for a week and start looking for a cheap apartment. I don't need much. Right now I live in a big city in NJ and the place in kind of a dump. I cant' do much worse.

You sure don't change your stripes, and just as I was beginning to think that you weren't all JERK.
