I think I may be fired tomorrow. I'd like your positive thoughts and prayers: please think and pray that I GET FIRED.
Things at my job have gotten progressively worse over the past year and a half until it's just horrible. I get sick every Sunday night, dreading Monday morning. I have frequent stress-induced heartburn, and constant neck, back, and leg pain because I can't relax the muscles anymore. I've gone from having some small measure of self-confidence to having none at all, and being unable to trust my own opinion about anything. I can hardly sleep and for the first time in my life, I'm subject to panic attacks. I've been more depressed this year than in a long time, and even toyed with the idea of suicide once or twice.
So believe me when I say that being fired could be the best thing to happen to me all year. If I just quit, I can't get unemployment, and I can't afford that. But if they have to fire me, I should be able to get it, and it would give me some breathing room. I could take a week or two off just to mentally recover a little, then go to a temp agency and at least get some part-time or temp jobs to get by until I can find something full-time.
This place isn't worth my health. It's not worth the breaking down of my soul that has happened. I may have let them damage me, but I'm damned if I'll let them destroy me.
(On the positive side: once I'm fired, I have SO many stories for ya'll!!)
