I always wished I had the balls to do something like that!

Someday you will get a job where that is valued, rather than punished. I still remember my first job like that. I stayed there for 11 years before deciding to return to academia.

Co-workers can make or break a job. I no longer stay in jobs where the co-workers are miserable. I know I can do better than that, and it's not my job to fix dysfunctional people. (Pshrynk, unfortunately, does not have that excuse....) So during your next job interview, look around at the people working there, and see if you can detect a lot of tension and stress. If you sense that, don't take the job, unless you're getting desperate. Just go to the next place on your list.

Good luck!
You are right. I've been working there a little more than 2 years and it's been draining the life force out of me. I switched department twice, thinking it would help, but it just got worst.

On a plus side, for I don't know what reason (probably just not to see me) my boss gave me the 2 paid days off I asked for a week ago, thinking it could help to cool down, so next week, I only work 3 days, woopey!

And, what I was dreading the most about working today did not happen. The manager's son is a good friend of mine, and I feared he would be mad at me too, but he ain't! We spent three hours not looking at each other, me because I was scared he was mad and him for exactly the same reason. I don't know how, but we looked at each other, smiled, then laughed it off! I'm so glad!

Don't worry to much, verencat. Life has a weird way of working out. I can't explain it, but it always seems like whenever I'm thrown a huge curve ball something happens to help me smack that thing out of the park. As my mother always says, "This, too, shall pass!" Just to help it along a little faster, I'm sending you some Karma.


Sorry for the baseball reference. Growing up as the daughter of a coach does that to you.

A two week vacation from the point of view of a European would not be pleasant. Sort of like two weeks of holidays for americans would be torture, especially since my sister has a new brother in law to inflict upon me...
