The situation has become unbearable

[ILoveReptiles]

I've made a decision about my current awful job. I am going to wait to hear about the job at the other company I applied to until 09/11/2006 (how ironic is this?), and if I get it, I'll give my notice as soon as I know.

If I don't get it, I'm going to go back to freelancing, and give my 2-week notice on 9/11/2006. I've wanted to get my freelance business back in the game for a while anyway. I'll advertise in the local papers, hit the street and talk to local businesses, and make ends meet that way.

I can take no more of this, and I don't deserve to be this unhappy.

Even if it doesn't work out, I can still find another job and just tell them the truth - I went back to freelancing, and things didn't pan out - I wasn't making enough money so I need to get a full time job.

I have 100% support from my boyfriend on this. He's been nagging at me to quit and just go solo for a while, since he sees how unhappy I am on a daily basis, and he's really worried about me.

Either way, the longest I will stay in this dump of a sweatshop is until 09/22/2006.

I fully intend to tell HR that they have a huge potential lawsuit sitting in the chair across the wall from me.

I feel I'd only be doing them a favor in making them aware of it. Not everyone is as against lawsuits as I am. A chiropractor totally wrecked me once, and I didn't sue him. Sooner or later, someone is going to get wickedly angry at one of his racist or sexist remarks, and they'll have a huge mess on their hands.
