Taking a leap of faith
Some how I am going to do what you all have told me to do... but I won't be returning tomorrow... I am going to talk to my family doctor to see if he can help me out with a "letter" (aka working with mold and chorline fumes bad and she can't work there...) and another type of letter (aka you all suck... =P ) from me and the only time I will be back is to get my last paycheck... I'm done...
I will explain in a later post... but tonight was the last straw for me... so please pray for me... I'm trying to have faith that God will provide some how for us... maybe it will be this job interview on Friday... or maybe something else... but I have never ever done anything like this before in my life... and this is really scary...

Shannon - It is a leap of faith and I'm sure its scary, but you've got to consider your health and well being now - you have one little one and another on the way - the mold, stress and everythiing else from that job are just not good for you or the baby. I know something will open up for you and soon - am keeping you and the family in my thoughts and prayers.

Shannon, Everything will work out fine. Just have faith and keep up with job hunting.
Last June, when I had my stillbirth, it was incredibly traumatic. I lost conciousness, almost died, we lost our son. It was terrible. this all happened on a Monday. I was in the hospital will wednesday and then went home. My doc gave me a note to stay off for 2 weeks. The office faxed it to my work.
The next monday, I thought I would try and go back to work. I thought it would help to not think about things and try to get in my routine again. I was wrong. I sat there and cried the first 15 minutes. I knew it was too soon and that I needed to go home and use that other week or so the doc suggested.
So I walked in my bosses office and explained that while I wish I could come back right away, and how I thought it would help me deal with it, it just wasn't going to work. I needed to take the time off the doctor is allowing me.
Guess what he says????
"You need to buck up. You are fine. You are walking around, you aren't disabled from sitting at your desk. You need to put on your boot straps and not milk this thing."
I just sat there and stared at him in amazement. Did he really just say that to me? Then he continued to tell me how he felt I wasn't concerned about my obligations to the company. and that while I was home that week, I needed to think hard about my job. He said if you come back monday, be prepared for working like you never have before because you are putting us behind. And if I don't see you at 8 on monday, we will assume you have quit. Good bye.
that was it. That was my conversation with my boss after I tried to come back early and after what I had just went through.
Well needless to say, on top of all the emotions and drama of what I already went through, this put me over the edge. I was scared and worried, because I need an income. but Johnny was furious and told me I didn't need to work in a place that treats people that way. So I didn't go back. I didn't even call and inform them. Just didn't show up at 8 the next monday. that probably wasn't the most responsible thing to do but I didn't even want to speak to that ass or anyone there.
So my point is, sometimes, a job will put us in a position that we feel we have no other choice. I found a job a few weeks after that and have been here since. I have a wonderful boss and I love my job. So I am glad he was an ass because it led me to something better anyways.
Hang in there.
