I've worked my job as an Administrative Assistant for just over 5 years now. In the past year it's gotten bad. In the past 6 months I've noticed that everyone around me is miserable. In the past 3 months I've contemplated quitting or arranging to get fired. Today we struck a new low.
I need to quit my job.
I have nearly a year's worth of income in a savings account. I could live unemployed for at least a year without changing my lifestyle at all. And if I change my lifestyle slightly (clipping coupons, eating out less), I might still have a savings account even after a year of unemployment.
I also have fond memories of Temp Jobs. I'm outgoing and friendly, I have excellent phone skills, my data entry is nearly error-free. If I could work a couple days a week; three days doing data-entry here, four days answering phones there; I wouldn't even have to dip into my savings.
In order to wrap my head around the idea of quitting my job, I've decided to start a series analyzing the situation. I guess the first step is just deciding that it needs to be done. And it does. Does it ever.
