I cannot stand my job any longer. It was a "temporary" job that was only supposed to last until I got pg (DH thought I needed to get out of the hosue after the m/c because I was so depressed) This little-to-nothing-paying job eats away at me more and more everyday. We can totally live without my measly paycheck.... but then I think I just have to stick it out for a couple more months (10 weeks max) and I will be able to put away some extra cash for when the baby comes and I dont go back to work!

AND my stomach is getting too big to squeeze behind my facial bed one the rare occasion that I have a client anymore! If I waws seeing clients all day instead of playing personal assistant I would deal with it and maybe even be happy to go to work...... ok, enough of my whinning!

I am sorry. That stinks. What is your job supposed to be? That sounds funny..I am not trying to be mean, I am just curious.

sucky jobs suck! if you are going to hang in there for a few more weeks, maybe it would help to pick out some cute things now that you'll buy for the baby with your money later. hang in there!

I'm sorry. Hang in there. You can do it. Just think of all the time off you will have once your LO is here. Hope it gets better!

It is supposed to be an Esthetician. I have been one for years now but quit when I was pg last time... I needed to go back to work for my mental health after the m/c and found this Dr that was just starting up her practice. I said I would be willing to help at the front of her office when I didnt have clients to do facials on and soon found out that I WAS the only office person and Esthetician. I have delt with it because I figured Iwould only work until I got pg again... then I got pg and thought Iwould just work for a while to make some extra cash. NOW I am ready to leave!

Uggh, that sucks. Nothing worse then dreading to go to work in the morning. I know what you mean about a job eating away at you.

Hopefully the next two months will fly by really fast for you.

I'm sorry, that really sucks to have a job that you hate. I hate mine too, the only thing is, is that we need me to be working for us to get by.

Try to stick it out just a little bit longer, but if the stress of going there isn't worth the paycheck anymore, you should think about resigning a little sooner... I hope things get better for you there and you could possible start doing what you were hired to do!

dkfitz07 · December 2009

That is a terrible situation! I hope you can get out of it soon...but like pp said..think of all those cute clothes you can buy

OregonMama · December 2009

So playing the other side of this... are you really saving the money? Do you really think you will? If not, quit! It's not worth it if you aren't saving the money! Stay home and pamper yourself!

carasizemore · December 2009

Yuck! I'm sorry! I often think that job related stress gets worse when it's colder out, dark and gray, etc for me at least. Don't know how cold it gets there in CA? Try to hang in there, at least you can bump from work, thank goodness!!!

The best part is the Dr wrote up an ad for my replacement while I am gone (she doesnt realize I am not going back-- even though I have thrown it out there several times)

The job desription she writes sounds AWESOME! Nothing at all what I do or what we offer there... now I remember how I got sucked in!

Okay, I don't know if this will even apply to you or not, but if you are sticking it out for the extra spending money for LO, have you looked into state disability and family leave? I hated my job and took disability the day I was able to, 32 weeks. They only pay you a percentage of your wages, but it still would be something and you would continue to get checks for 3 months after LO arrives. I did this with DS just to have some extra money coming in. You have paid into the fund with every paycheck, so I saw it as getting some of my money back. Anyway, if you did this you would only have to stick it out another 4- 5 weeks before you qualify! That's not that long. Also, if you are wanting something to help you get out of the house, maybe look into volunteering. The library and schools are always looking for help. I always felt my mental health was more important, and I was also planning on being a SAHM. Good luck with your decision!

I am sorry, but I totally relate to you. Though we probably couldn?t survive without my measly paycheck, it?s more than DH makes. But I think we might have enough saved away along with some help from some very generous family members that I may not have to go back to work. At least until the baby is old enough to go to ?school? like at 18 months here - they go to 3 years of kindergarden. I sure hope it turns out that way, but my mom wants me to work at least part time to keep my work visa valid. But seriously everyday it gets worse and worse for me too. And my bellys not that big yet, but it is pushing against my desk and I like to sit close lol

Sorry you are having a hard time with work. Hopefully you can make some changes soon? Are you planning on being a SAHM?
