Simon,

I think it is a GREAT idea!! Many may not agree..but I think the majority will! If you are miserable in your job..then run!!! I ALWAYS have..and well..I look at it this way..I have had many jobs..so what?..I have had many experiences..and in the mean time..I have not had to want for anything..finacially..that is..now..I am not telling you to go to that extreme..bouncing from one job to the other..like I did for so many years..but I am suggesting that if this job is causing you such distress and misery to leave! You desearve much better..anyone does..every one desearves to work in an environment where they are appreciated and where they truely feel happy to get up and go to every day..unfortunately this is not always so..more often than not..but it is up to the individual to make that stop..to make that change and to make it better for themselves..I think you are just the person to do that! If you don't feel welcomed and appreciated where you are..find a job where you are!! You desearve no less!! Have confidence in yourself Simon..and others will see you for who you truly are!! The wonderful person we all see you as here!! Good luck and happy job hunting should you choose that route!! (((HUGS)))
