Yesterday marked my four year anniversary at my job. It was also the day I handed in my resignation. I have decided that the hour long commute each way every day is too much, both on my physical and mental health, and the wear and tear and fuel costs for my car. My work day was already very long, 6:15 until 4:45, and add on an hour on each end, plus the fact I need about 12 hours of sleep a night did not make for a happy me. I am giving up a great job at a decent company, awesome pay, and the best benefits for the same sort of job, with less pay and no benefits. My hope is that I will end up a happier and nicer person who is not so exhausted all the time. The fiancé has been very supportive of me through this decision.
I am looking forward to a fresh start. I do not want to make the same mistakes I did while at my other job. I just want to go to work, drive the bus, and go home with minimal socializing until I get to know some of the drivers and who are backstabbers and who are true friends. It took me 4 years to realize who the "good people" were at work because I was just sucked into all the drama and craziness.
I will miss several people a lot, others I will miss but will be glad to not have to see every day, and there are others I will be happy never to see again! I am very thankful that all but one person I will miss is on Facebook, so I can stay in touch! :-)
My last day is the 16th of December.
