Day 260: Plans of Action

Exhaustion is something born of much anger and a day filled with musing on how to best exit a bad job situation without screwing one over on future job opportunities. It is becoming more and more clear that I can not sustain doing what is going to be asked of me to do. My schedule becomes and one closing shift after another and apparently all at Returns. They also didn't give me all the days I requested off the week after next so I will have to fight over that or call in.

Calling in isn't even a problem for me now because I have no reason to feel guilty. They aren't taking care of me, don't care how unhappy I am, so I am going to just go with what is right for me. As soon as I hear I am being offered the position at the new place, I can't surely say I am going to give my two weeks anymore. I think I may just quit right there. If that ends up happening, it might look bad to Marsh if they call to check with the store for my background. But I think if I just explain that I have to leave immediately to see family before starting the new job, I may be able to get away with it.

All this is hypothetical until I hear something, but I need a contingency plan for sanity. I need to know that this is going to be very short term because if I don't get this position, I can not see myself being where I am much longer. I am getting increasingly unhappy to a point that it is unhealthy. I will go back to my mother's place if that is what it takes, but I will not suffer doing something I hate just because it is a job that brings in money. That isn't enough for me.
