Oh My Gawd... I am so tired!
I almost gave my boss notice a few minutes ago. I am so fed up. I've wanted to leave this past year so badly. All I was waiting on was finishing the last of my student loan payments, which I did a few months ago. We have always lived well on one income - DH's. My salary first went towards tuition when I was going to law school part time in the evenings, then to paying off my loans in an accelerated manner - try 2.5 hours in a 10 year repayment term!
My new boss started last year. My 3 other bosses were awesome, and I learned a lot from them. With the current boss, I went from thriving to suffering. I don't want to get into my problems with my boss, but there are a lot of problems. She manages two groups, and I know that 5 out of 8 of us are job searching/interviewing.
I am overloaded with 3x as much work right now. My stress is materializing itself in eczema on my inner forearms, my upper lip, and my tender belly . I don't sleep well. My DH and I argue all the time about my unhappiness with work. He doesn't know what to do to help me. I've put on 15 lbs from the stress - usually the weight comes on towards a project deadline. I find myself crying on Sundays because I have to go back to work on Monday. I sleep in on weekends b/c I'm so exhausted from the erratic work schedules - the late nites and weekend work that crop up as we near project deadlines.
I have tried my damndest to wait for a potential job offer - I have a friend who works at that company who has told me to be patient because they want to on-board me. But.. I am feeling so so... terrible that I don't know if I can wait any longer.
Right now, with my 3 projects, the latest deadline is September 20. If I gave notice this soon, it would be 1 month notice - is that too long?? too goofy? I don't know what to do... I'm feeling so...
