I've had enough
of this awful, awful job.
70 hours a week
I have enough of this
But I can never get enough of this
Or this
I miss my kids
I need a date with my husband
I need a date with ME.
I've had enough.
My boss is an ass
and I just want to go in
all Norma Rae and singing bad country lyrics.
The house is a mess
and I am exhausted.
I 'm not superwoman--
I don't change the world by day
and run the PTO by night
all the while cooking up delicious organic meals.
I'm super to them
And THAT
is definitely
more than
Enough.
P.S. Yeah, I'm quitting soon. Wow, I have a lot of freckles.

I can't imagine the suckiness.
I have two jobs that I can work from home and it's so fucking hard, I think I would go apeshit if I had to absolutely anything above and beyond those two jobs and housewifing (I'm just full of made up words). I cry during homework. haha
I've quit 2 jobs in the last 3 years because I couldn't do the 70 hour weeks either. The kids, the house, the death threats...just wasn't worth it.
Hi there! I found your blog through Wait in the Van. I love the way you write.
Sorry to hear your job sucks! Mine sucks dogs balls too. Maybe your boss and my boss should hook up for a hot date over a coffee with a side of Ratsack! 70 hour weeks are inhuman!
I've quit my job. I'm working on the theory that I'd rather be poor and happy then semi-poor and suicidal. I finish in 3 weeks.
Good luck getting out!!
Thank GOD. (70 hours?!) Maybe now you'll get back to what really matters. Blogging. Well, you know, and the family stuff.
Missed you, my freckly friend.
Sometimes all that work is not worth it. I'm taking about the job and not the kids, of course. I wouldn't be able to get enough of that either!
Go all Norma Rae. You can do it!
Say some really mean shit on your way out! I miss you!
Kim you've been missed in blog land here...so do what makes you and your family happy.
I would have quit the first week. So, good on ya.
Does this mean we can have another blog war?
I quit my job two months ago and although I'm broke and totally unsure of how I'm going to pay my bills. I can honestly say I'm happy. And I don't regret it, AT ALL
Aw, dammit, Kim, you made me all verklempt.
Quit tomorrow.
Damn those women libbers! We all should be home watching soaps and hving lunch with our friends... and blogging from home, not work!
I have never, ever had a better day at work than I have at home. And right now, I'm pretty much homeless!
Good luck. Seventy hours is bullshit, sister.
I worked very hard chasing a dollar. And as a result lost a family. I have learned the value of balance. If you do decide to quit...do it with panache. I heard of a guy that quit at Jack-in-the-Box, by walking to the front with his pants around his ankles..and screamed "I'm tired of making the secret sauce!".
QUIT! I am a firm believer in quitting things that aren't making you happy. Life is too short!!!
YAY! I have missed your blogs. Quit, quit, quit!
I soooooo want to leave my job. I am the kind of guy who "Takes on for the team" and does the shit jobs no one else wants to because I think in the long run it will help me and the "Company."
Yeah, screw that.
I did it again and over the summer took a "Promotion" by moving to another department, ramping up learning all these Microsoft and networking things, getting a new title, and did I mention money?
I didn't?
Oh yeah, that's because there WASN'T ANY.
Yep, a title and a hearty thank you. I am a TOTAL pushover.
So anyway, I am trying to pimp my books, drawings, blogs, musicianship... WHATEVER I can to get out of this turd bowl before someone flushes.
(Hey, I like that analogy!)
You go girl. Get out of that joint and then pee on their desk on the way out.
I've missed you!!!
Definitely quit soon. The restaurant world - as you know - will such the ever-living life out of you.
You're super to us, too.
Let's plan an amazing "quiting experience" like that stewardess guy (what do you call a guy stewardess??) He got tons of offers of books and interviews and stuff... THAT is the way to make some money!! I will do your hair and makeup :-)
I for one look forward to your back at home and blogging with fervor days to come.
GOOD FOR YOU!!!
Celebration time--break out the champagne and nachos!
Came here looking for women who quit writing jobs to spend more time with family. I moved myself and my entire family for a "dream" writing job, and I have decided that no dream job is worth missing my kid. I want to quit too, but the move cost us money, and I'm scared.
