Only Only 8 more days left....

till I get to leave this miserable job at a non-profit in DC. I have finally gotten myself a kick ass job in the private sector working at a fabulous dot com. Thank god...because this job was literally sucking the life out of me...ever since I started working here about 3 months ago I have found myself slowly spiraling down into a deeper depression...this job just isnt what I thought it would be and I have been angry at myself for a while for taking this job, when in my gut I knew it wasnt the place for me...

Sadly, though, I like most, ok, some, of the people here...We have such an interesting mix of staff --- people from all walks of life and all sorts of educational backgrounds...but where I fit in, I have no idea. I was sort of the freak in the office - from the area, local university, attractive, lots of work in the private sector, no real desire to change the world...sort of just earning my next paycheck to work my way up in the world and start accumulating more crap and paying down my current debt...

So I quit yesterday. By far, one of the best moments of my life. I had just accepted this new position...making a lot more money then at this non-profit, and in my glee I found myself unable to stop smiling as I handed in my lovely resignation letter. The even better part was when I got to explain why I was quitting, since it was a fun little combo of not being able to work with the a certain micro-manager in my office as well as the lack of real work for me to do here...but it was great to actually attribute my departure to someone I dislike so much. I am awful!!!
