I knew I was going to somewhere around Memorial Day but my boss was on vacation so I decided to stay and help out. I had worked there just over two weeks. They were upset I didn&#8217;t give them two weeks notice. That seems odd to me. I&#8217;ve never done this before, left my job so soon after starting. From the beginning, I could tell the stress level and erratic work hours were not for me. I&#8217;m so sad it didn&#8217;t work out. I really had high hopes for this place. But I need a regular schedule, and I need for my stomach to not eat itself, and I need people to not yell at me when I&#8217;m doing the best I can. I&#8217;m just not willing to put up with it anymore. It can be hard to find a web development job that doesn&#8217;t want to suck the life out of you. My coworker told me he had stopped playing music. Another coworker said she worked all day and all night. When I told her what a nice night I had, that one day I actually got out of work at a normal time, she said &#8220;don&#8217;t get used to it.&#8221; She didn&#8217;t know I had already made my mind up to leave. My boss considers me a canary in a coal mine. Many people there feels the same way as me and they seem to have a high turnover. My boss asked that I write a letter to the partners expressing why I decided to leave. You can <a href=\"http:\/\/angrypirate.com\/letter_to_companyx.php\">read it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m back at square one. No job, no idea what to do for money. I&#8217;m going to take a breath first. I&#8217;m going to get some things done that have been neglected. There are some juried shows to submit to, some serious cleaning to do, cds to sell, things to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freecycle.org\/\">give away<\/a>, my old computer to sell, exercising, and friends to catch up with. Plus all that wedding stuff to do.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"racoons are hazardous to your health by Alanna Spence, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/angrypirate\/2547913113\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3135\/2547913113_70d1964002.jpg\" alt=\"racoons are hazardous to your health\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I left my new job yesterday.
