I think I have gone through many phases in life where I felt really low and depressed from life. Yet yesterday was the day where I saw the true injustice that human beings suffer from. And I was the victim and all I have been doing all day in my office is crying or looking for a job. I am just going to be quiet, cry my self to do nothing productive at work and wait to see if I EVER will get a new job.
At this rate and for the bits of sanity left in me, I think I will end up quitting. I got three weeks paid vacation, and I need to take them. The bits of sanity in me are slowly deteriorating.
I don’t know what to do with my life anymore. Having 6 years of experience on a resume is nothing. Means nothing and I feel that all I have accomplished is going down the drain.

Don’t know what happened but if you got three weeks vacation, take ‘em!
Then after enjoying a nice paid vacation doing nothing but relaxing, go back to work, give ‘em the finger and find somewhere else to go.
Well, thats what I would do… Just don’t let them rain shit on you. This is your life to live, so why waste it dealing with someone else’s shit? Why suffer for someone else’s stupidity?

Been there, bought the shirt.
Just don’t let it get to you, simmer down and try chilling.

here we kinda say… when u close a door there will be lots of biggest doors for you.

Mona, do you really wish to continue where you are?
You wouldn’t have remained this long unless deep inside there is something you like about that place and your work there, no?
Don’t listen to Brandon and “do nothing” nor dare you point that middle finger at anybody, girl! You abuse the F word enough already… It will get you nowhere. Instead, use this time to decide whether you wish to stay for real, if not, then whatever is left of the time remaining begin searching for another job.
Anyway you choose to react, be reasonable and be wise. You don’t rebel over your career, it is your future we’re talking about.
Illahi, I wish things only get better for you from now on… good luck.

The thing that kept me there is gone. The place has turned to a highschool friendship zone with no ethics and no morals. I am currently looking for work at any place that will have me as an IT person. I am tired. Really tired. I am not going to quit until I find another job.

Or go crazy first…..
If it comes down to that your sanity is worth more than a job. You can always get another job but you can’t easily get back your sanity. Keep looking for another job but if you find your self about to go off the deep end quit. There is no law saying you have to stay at your current job until you find another. Plenty of people have quit jobs without finding something first before they did it and life turned out fine for them.

I’ll see.. I just rather have a job first before I quit.

I like the new new blog look! Good luck with the job search and just have faith.

Hi Mona! This sound sad. I hope you’ll find a new job very soon. I told you before that I like it very much what you’re writing and that there is a lot of personal stuff in it, too.
But don’t you think blogging about this could have a negative effect some day? But perhaps it’s just me. I bet with your qualification you will sure get a well paid job. If not: I bet you could be one of the few persons who is able to be a so called “problogger”.
Best Regards from Germany

@Arkan
I didn’t suggest to just “do nothing”. I was saying that referring to vacation, you know, like just laying around. Doing nothing that reminds you of work. Of course I would never suggest doing absolutely nothing about the job issue, and the rest of my post clearly states that. The section you are referring to is what I would do. Whatever she does is her decision.

Hang tight. Try to get outside today - the weather looks great. I have no words of wisdom for you, except perhaps ‘this to shall pass …’

Maybe you should start making your own money. You’re already ahead of the game as you could do most, if not all, the work yourself (programming/graphics). If not making money off your own sites, offer your services as a web development business.

I am not going to start doing websites for people because it is tedious work. I did that in the past and it was quite unsatisfying.

Maybe this will offend… Not sure.
It feels great to know someone else feels as low as I do right now. I see no future in my life and my whole past feels like it was worthless. I know were in very different situations right now… but I think I understand.
without sounding too gay…
