Well, it's done! I quited!

It wasn't really about the language issue (although I was blamed today for saying "really", en English, to myself while checking my schedule - one word!!!) but mostly about a general atmosphere of dissatisfaction all over the bakery.
No one was taking the lead while the boss was out on vacation, everyone "throwing the monkey" (poor Adrian) at the following employee, so, in a few particular situations, I took responsibility and acted so we could keep being efficient. Older employees took it personally, started backstabbing me, and it all went down from there. The only thing I knew, until this afternoon when I confronted my boss, is that the atmosphere was harrowing (word of the week), and I couldn't deal with that anymore. Everyone was complaining about everyone, it was crazy. Every day of last week I got back home crying - hence my presence on MR, needed the positiveness.
Quitting today was the only option for my sanity, and confronting my boss (she's more than mean) learned me a few other things that are pushing me even faster on the way out.
I'll get back on my feet pretty quickly, I'm not even worried. I even might work at the SAQ (société des Alcools du Québec, where they sell wine and stronger liquors and where the employees are extra-well paid AND have a 50% discount on the booze!).
So I won't talk about it anymore, won't rant about it, work my three remaining weeks with clenched teeth and get it over with.

Thanks again, I really needed the hugs and support, and don't worry, everything will be perfectly fine. Sorry for that.

Hey, there's about a thousand new threads to check out yay!
