RunnerMD said:Thanks guys for your advice...but I'm going to ask my boss if I can work part-time starting in mid-June or else I'm just going to quit. I may/may not move back home with my Mom for that month which would save me a little money. But all in all, I am absolutely miserable at work. Its not that my job is difficult, but I have been out of work since MONDAY and have been checking my e-mail (which is where EVERYONE has to request a report from me) everyday via our remote desktop program, and do you now what? For the entire week, I have had TWO report requests. Each report will take me 10-15 min to complete. There is no reason why I can't a) work from home, or b) work part time. Even if I could work Mondays, Wed, and Fridays, it would make a HUUUUGE difference.
Anyway, we just wrapped up our trial today so I go back to work tomorrow. I think I'm gonna tell my boss tomorrow or Monday.
good for you... i'm teaching now and it takes every ounce of energy to get myself up at 5 am and face my 14, 15, 16-year-old "too cool for school" high school students- i tell you what, disciplining, motivating, etc. them for their last three weeks of school is exhausting and i think if i didn't know i was going to be done soon, no amount of money would be keeping me there (can somebody PLEASE remind me how we were equally anxious for summer to come? i'm completely losing my youthful outlook on life! eek! ). and you know what? when i finally told my boss i was going to med school, (and boy was i terrified to tell her!), i was most surprised by her reaction- she was incredibly supportive and proud... and i think your boss will probably have the same reaction and will understand your need for some down time. point being, get the part-time and ENJOY yourself b4 school. after all, haven't you earned a little down time so you get to miami feeling refreshed and happy!?
