Ch-ch-ch-changes

Reasons I hate my job:
  1. Balls scratches his balls.
  2. The training is sporatic and incomplete.
  3. The firm treats their SF office like the red-headed stepchild of the group.
  4. There's no system for basic office issues like reserving an empty office or ordering supplies.
  5. I started writing out all the other reasons, but you know what? Fuck it. Who cares anymore? Just please take my word for it that this job sucks.

And so I quit. That's right, I did. I got an offer from a firm I interviewed at over a month ago, asking me to start right away. After several frantic phone calls, I accepted and managed to push out the start date. To Tuesday.

Tomorrow may be a bit awkward, but I'll suffer through it. Tuesday has always been my favorite day of the week.

Congrats on the new job! Sometimes you just have to trust your gut and get out.

Good for you! It doesn't sound like a very professional place.
I don't think you should use them as a reference though ;)

It sounds like you'd be better off to leave them off your resume also :-)

You go girl. My Dad always stated that they can never pay enough for a job you don't like. Hope the new one is better.

I dare you to leave a tube of Tinactin Jock Itch cream on Balls' desk tomorrow before you leave.

Congrats on having a better Plan B to get you the hell out of there.
