Hello all, hope things are going well, and if not, hope that you get the love and support you need.

Well, as some will know, I started a new job in April, after a long time searching (a few blips on the way, including the hated job at the caravan park for the chap with the awful teeth, but I digress)

I resigned from the new job on Monday.

Yes, I know that I should have stuck at it, 3 months was hardly long enough etc, but I have broken out in stress eczema, my GP is concerned that I'm heading for a , well you know what I mean.

I've been lucky enough to already get an interview for another job, so fingers crossed on that front.

So, basically ladies, this is a warning that I may be back on here spouting more rubbish!

So sorry to learn things did not work out as you hoped Phoenix. It is no good carrying on with a job having such a bad effect on you. Hope you get a really nice one soon. flowers

So sorry, that's really bad luck. Still, you can update us all about the puss cats....

Good for you phoenix, it's no good making yourself ill over a job!
Welcome back smile

Always go with your instincts, phoenix. It wasn't for you and something better will turn up. flowers

Greatnan Wed 10-Jul-13 17:38:56

I hope you have better luck with the next job, Phoenix.

Butty Wed 10-Jul-13 17:43:36

Yes, we've missed you in the Bar, phoenix! smile

Big hug to you phoenix - hope this one will be a bit less travelling - but you gave it a go and "there must be positives" as they say, that you can take from the experience. I hope.
If not, make some up for the interview! grin

Hope the next job is better Phoenix - console yourself with the thought that all experiences have some value, even the not so good ones - though it may be far from apparent at the timesunshine

Mishap Wed 10-Jul-13 17:54:40

Good luck with the interview - no job is worth making oneself ill over. Well done for making the decision.

Bags Wed 10-Jul-13 17:55:08

You gave it a go, phoenix. Well done and good luck for the next one. Meanwhile, I'll look forward to more of your posts on GN flowers

Phoenix Good Luck with the next interview I agree with other's. Its not worth doing a job you hate. I was there 3yrs ago when work was reorganised. I managed to escape to a hammer toe op and then retirement or I would have been a complete wreck. I was a partial one at the time.
Keep us entertained meantime! How are the cats? .flowers

annodomini Wed 10-Jul-13 18:42:23

Better luck this time. Their loss is our gain, phoenix. I'm looking forward to reading more of your 'rubbish'. Could do with a good laugh.smile

Galen Wed 10-Jul-13 18:44:02

Good luck!

whenim64 Wed 10-Jul-13 18:54:27

What's wrong with these people, Phoenix? Don't they realise what is driving you away? Perhaps they just don't care about their employees, in which case your wellbeing comes first, and you've done the right thing. Nice to see you back! smile

glammanana Wed 10-Jul-13 18:57:12

Looking forward to your postings and best of luck with the new interview.flowers welcome back x

Sorry Phoenix, but I must confess my very first thought was along the lines of, "oh goody - she's back". Now I'm covered with shame at my total lack of empathy. Hope the interview is for a job that you will enjoy, that generates little stress - and most importantly allows you plenty of time to join us on Gransnet. grin
I've missed you and I'm sure others have too.

Ariadne Wed 10-Jul-13 20:22:51

Good to see you back, Phoenix!

Nonu Wed 10-Jul-13 20:55:15

Hi to you , Phoenix .

Lilygran Wed 10-Jul-13 21:27:11

Good luck with the interview! Nice to see you back.

It's certainly not worth sticking around in a job that is making you ill. Good luck with your interview.
