I have made the decision to quit my job. I am terrified as I still don’t have a new one lined up yet. But this past week gave me a lot to think about. For three days I was out sick with norovirus (which I wouldn’t wish on anyone), and when I wasn’t retching and vomiting into the toilet, I thought about it a lot. My mom says, “Maybe give it another week and see how you feel…?” Another week will make no difference at this point. I need to do this. It’s become intolerable for me. I’ve said everything I could possibly say. I do have a little money saved up, not a lot, but hopefully I will be able to find something at the school where I’m taking my jewelry course. I’m meeting twice a month with a career counselor. I turned 39 today— I know that’s not terribly old, but why wait? Time is a precious commodity. I will not spend another day being miserable and being worn to a frazzle in a job where I am expendable. I will not do this anymore. I don’t know what the future holds, but I cannot and will not stay in pharmacy anymore. Happy Birthday to me.

Happy birthday to you!
I hope you’ve fully recovered from Norovirus - it’s just horrendous. I’ve been in your situation myself, and quit my job before I actually wound up having a breakdown. It worked out for the best in the long run. Your situation sounds thoroughly miserable, and I hope you are able to find a new role quickly. Jeff. |

Happy birthday! You seem to outgrow pharmacy jobs and they just make you miserable. Career counselor might help with ideas. I hope you feel better. Nora virus has been going around and it’s awful

Thank you both for the birthday wishes and the vote of confidence— I may have a new job lined up, but it’s not certain yet. I submitted my resignation this morning. I feel a little guilty and a bit apprehensive, but i also feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my chest. I feel the way I felt back in December when they told me they were not hiring on any temps at the other job. That says something to me. I will stay optimistic and will use this time to look for new jobs, excel in my class, and improve my physical and emotional health.
