Holly: It was a good company but I couldn't see a future there. It was easy to get in but impossible to rise up.
Michael Scott: That's what she...
I quit my job today. Sadly, it didn't stick. After much crying and accusations and anger, I was talked into staying. So the cycle of abuse continues. sigh. Is there any wonder why architecture majors have the highest dropout rate? Because they don't want to deal with this crap as their future job.
I came home and do what I always do to relieve stress. Cook. A LOT. The Kid has been asking for Chicken Soup with Rice ever since my mom bought him the Really Rosie soundtrack. Hello, suddenly she thinks it's 1975 again.
So I made up a recipe - it's SUPER quick. You have no excuse to not make it, that's how quick it is. So I made up a huge pot of Chicken Soup with Rice. Then I made some cornbread muffins. Now I'm thinking cupcakes. This is how stressed I am, I CANNOT STOP. Want me to come over? I'll cook you a five course meal. RIGHT. NOW. Good lord, I need help.

A little stuffed bull's stress-relieved hug is being sent over the internet!
Seriously, hang in there. We all care about ya!
Thank god you're not a chef for a living - with the cycle of stress at that job, you'd never leave work.
xo!
I didn't realize architect jobs were such high stress. But I'm thinking good thoughts for you.
Wow! I certainly had no clue that architecture was high-stress. Hang in there! Look for something else maybe and then they can't talk you into staying again.
Man- that stinks- I once had a job where the manager kept talking me into staying- It was weird when we got a new manager and I tried to quit... and she let me!
Hope the stress dies off a little at least due to your 'quitting'... at least you know they like you. :)
ugh. sorry to hear. i shoulda taken you up on your invite (i can always eat) and come over to eat and be talked out of school this fall. ;)
I'm so sorry. That is really awful. At least you do have something that makes you feel better (sorta).
And now, I leave you with my favorite quote, because I must:
"The pain of change is never as great as the pain of staying the same."
@dapotato I didn't even think about you when I wrote that! Sorry, bad day. You are going back to school because you want to go, you'll be fine.
@darlene & @celtic there are statistics that architecture majors have the highest dropout rates and on the profession have a high suicide rate - after doctors. (don't tell dapotato that).
Sorry so stressful... hope it improves soon!
You know what you need? Dinner with the baking posse!
Wait, WHAT?!?!
Email me.
Sorry about your job! Never fun. Yes, please come over and cook for me. Thanks. ;0)
You can cook for me ANYTIME. Cooking stresses me out.
