I've put thousands into my car and it's still sitting in my driveway because you can't drive it anywhere. There's always something wrong with it.
 
Wow guys, if you're that miserable, make changes!

not all change is good. the last 2 months was an effing quicksand for me. the more you struggle the worst it gets.
i've been carrying my resignation letter for 3 weeks now. all i have to do is date and sign it, and give 2 weeks notice, just waiting...and maybe flick my middle finger...but then i need references. lolz

There's only so much you can do make positive changes sometimes. If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that sometimes, you just have to wait out the storms of life. But, just like real storms, they don't last forever.

Sorry to hear that, man. Maybe you can get a reference or two from your co-workers if you boss or supervisor is a no-go.

Sorry to hear that. :( It sucks needing references.

This past August, I walked out of my job of plus 17 years. They told me I had to move from quality control to regulatory compliance. I said I didn't want to. They said I had to. 24 hours later, I walked out. My company is very much a "don't let the door hit your ***" company. Had I given a two -week notice, every day of that two weeks would have been very difficult because I would have wanted them to tell me I could keep my old position and I knew they wouldn't. Later, a lot of co-workers told me they wish they could do what I did. They didn't think I would quit. So many people can't and companies know it.

I was fortunate to have my husband (whom I have been married to for over 21 years and even though in June, I told him I want to separate) back my decision to quit to do my jewelry business full time. I have to make this work. 2014 has been tough. I hope the best for you!
 
I've left 2 jobs (one of 2 years and one of 5 years) due to a toxic environment. Feeling stuck, not making enough money, being miserable there and trying to think of reasons to not go into work--any combination of those makes me start looking at other options. It's scary but life is too short to spend every day miserable just to pay bills.

i think the reason my resignation letter is still in my pocket is the thought of riding this shatstorm through. i feel like drifting further into the abstract. i used up my sick leaves before the month it got renewed finished. <---ha, must be something.

thanks. looks like you got more backbone than me. :]
funny thing about my contingency plan, if everything was to fall apart, one of my primary career options i was considering before is now my back up... signing up in the NZ defense force.

reflecting back 5yrs ago, when i was really broke, life was simple. meals were very savory. shat got done. i was happy. now $$ with crappy job atmosphere, i find myself wasting away. living way over means sometimes just to cope with ****...not my kind of fun.

got caught in the crossroads before, to take postgrad studies or drop everything take sky diving instructor course and start from square 1. i got scholarship funding for PG, and i was a cheapskate so i took that offer instead. cripes.
 
People who casually pick up and handle my dolls. Especially when the doll falls three feet to the floor as a result. WTF?
 
People who are ashamed to admit that they own dolls and call them action figures.
 
People who think doll is a derogatory term when it simply means "a small figure representing a baby or other human being, especially for use as a child's toy."
