2fat2fly 0 #3 May 24, 2007 I can relate-my stress level just went way up. Unfortunately, my stress manifests as insomnia-but I now know that if I chew up 3 vicodens at bedtime I can get 5 hours of sleepMore money will not reduce stress-make your choice wisely, you're the only you you've got I am not the man.

IanHarrop 43 #4 May 24, 2007 Quote I can't take it anymore. My health is too important! I'm quitting today. YAY!! In my experience if one is unhappy in ones job, more money only brings short term happiness. The best thing to do is find a job that you enjoy! Also in my experience, that transition is easiest if you keep your existing job until you have a new one. Just my thoughts, if you decide that this is the end then so be it. No one else can properly judge your situation better than you, so you do what you think is right!"Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
