i've been full-time since april and, mid november, i'll be eligible for benefits. i sort of want to get a new pair of glasses, a teeth cleaning, have a couple of months of meds payed for, take my vacation days, then quit.
right now i'm being forced into a leadership position that i don't want. a manager quit, giving at least a month's notice and the bosses made no move to replace her. i was sort of second in command but not even, i'm just regular full time and only started in her department a couple of months ago. i'm strongly getting the impression they're just going to make me fill in the gap with absolutely nothing in return for my extra responsibility and work.
i don't even like this department to begin with, it's all teenagers and half the job is babysitting them. if they're not standing there talking while i do everything, they're complaining about not being able to stand there talking while i do everything. i'd rather just send them home and do the work alone. they're infuriating. seriously, from working with them, i've been pissed off so badly for so many consecutive days, i once took a week off, unexplained, and almost quit. it took me fully five days to calm down and talk myself into returning to work.
the only reason i've lasted this long in my job is because i love what it's done to my body. it's desperately needed exercise because my previous lifestyle was fully sedentary. now it's eight hours of constant motion every weekday. there's really no exercise plan i can come up with that will get me that kind of low-impact endurance. half an hour at the gym and then sitting all day isn't going to cut it. besides the exercise, the rest of the job is typical bullshit you can get anywhere and i want as little to do with it as possible.
