i feel so happy that you guys all had something to say about that. especially flint, that was a surprise, thanks for taking the time to read my drivel. this morning, i wrote my letter of resignation up, but as i was getting into my email to send it, i saw a message from my brother. his advice was to give them two weeks but tell them it was for personal reasons. i thought that was good advice, so i went in today instead of sending my letter. but then, i didn't resign anyway. this is really difficult for me. like i said before, i've never really quit a job, and i've almost never been in a situation where everything i do gets me in trouble.
that said, i had a pretty good day today. i only got into trouble once, and was only lectured for it by two people. my offense was not having labeled the notes on how to perform a task so that i could recognize them when it came time to do it again. i got lots of explanations as to why titles are important, and lots of head shakes over it. but mainly, today went pretty well. i think the credit for that lies with the coffee girl this morning giving me extra strong coffee. it made me feel really happy for a good long portion of the morning. that said, i think it's important to note that an adult should never have to rely on drugs to make herself be able to get through the day, and also, a grown-up should really never have to say "i got in trouble". adults are the owners of their lives and they should never be in trouble.
i still am going to quit, i'm just not sure how i'm going to do it. my brother says that saying it is for personal reasons will let me go out with dignity, but i'm afraid that that plan puts the blame on me, and i want it made perfectly clear (to my boss at least) that i am not to blame for this. i do good work, and those women are at fault for being such nags.
but enough about that.
tonight, nathan took me out on a date. we got sushi, went to pick up his guitar (it was being repaired), went to target, and went to the movies to see the corpse bride. it was pretty good, and we had fun. i have been awake for 17 and a half hours, which is 3 and a half longer than i enjoy staying awake, so i'm going to bed.
i leave with today's quote:
This one's for the workers who toil night and day,
by hand and by brain to earn your pay.
Who for centuries long past for no more than your bread
have bled for your countries and counted your dead...
And when the sky darkens and the prospect is war,
who's given a gun and then pushed to the fore,
and expected to die for the land of our birth,
though we've never owned one lousy handful of earth?
(The Dropkick Murphys, "Worker's Song")

I am glad you have made your mind up as far as quitting goes. I am kind of with your brother on this one, you should really consider being tactful and choosing your words carefully on your resignation letter. However if you want those wenches at work to pay for being evil, as they should, you should send a seperate note to HR. Those kinds of letters are normally kept confidential. Plus on the letter to HR you should feel free to be as specific as possible! Some companies even have an anonymous tipline where you could do it by phone. But whatever you choose to do just remember that it is just a job, there are many that are worse and tons that are better. Good luck on finding that perfect job!
