going on mat leave early!!

AACraven85

I'm going to be broke as a joke and possibly a little behind on bills towards the end of my leave, but I'm DONE.

I'm so done with waddling through the snow to work at 9 mos pregnant, even if it's only two blocks. I'm so tired of work in general- I work on commission and it can be high stress/tight deadlines. I just don't have the energy for it.

I can't take the woman I trained to do my job while I'm on leave- I've learned that there is indeed such a thing as a stupid question. She interrupted me last week to dead pan ask me if she should staple two pieces of paper together. Umm, if you want to? I don't know? I am not paid hourly, so basically she asks me questions all day and I get nothing done to bring home any $$. Her resume has to be completely BS because it's like she doesn't know how to use a computer. I think asking questions is great when you're learning but it's like everything she asks either makes it seem like she's A. completely unqualified for the job or B. she never read any of my notes I wrote for her.

I told my husband that I can't take it anymore and that after I tie up loose ends next week I'm outta here. He said go for it, we'll make it work. Instead of making me feel better this just pissed me off. I keep meticulous track of our finances on an excel sheet and know that we will be behind due to some idiot client deciding not to pay on a job that I anticipated collecting a commission for (my mat leave is 100% financed by me- I get no paid leave). 

I can't take DH's flippant attitude towards the whole money situation... although I guess in all fairness I probably wouldn't react positively to anything he said unless it was "hey don't worry because I know for 100% sure I will be getting the extra money to make up the difference". I can only hope and pray we get taxes back this year to balance us out- usually we have to pay in because I get 1099'd and the gov't loves to screw the little guy with outrageous self-employment taxes.

Sorry for my rambles.  Just frustrated
