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!

Glad you're back Phoenix. flowers Life is too short to stick with a job which you really don't enjoy, and that is bad for your health. Now you've freed yourself up to get something better. Sure something will turn up soon x

Sorry it didn't work out for you phoenix after all you went through to get the job too. But nothing is worth making yourself ill about. Let's hope you and the next one are a better match. Goody, more underwear malfunctions! grin

Met up today with John, who started the same day as me, to hand over the catalogues, brochures etc (they are like gold dust for South West reps, as the nearest point to pick any up is Enfield!)

Such a lovely chap, wished me all the best, big hug etc.

Meeting -Knobhead- Manager tomorrow to hand over the laptop, printer, fuel card & Blackberry, then have car company in the afternoon to pick up the car

So ends a chapter, thank god!

Next?

Don't push yourself too hard, phoenix - you haven't failed at all, the job wasn't right for you, and you did have doubts. Take a bit of time to mull things over...smile

They didn't deserve you! Your health is much more important than any job. Many years ago I resigned from a job which made me ill. What a relief it was! I know you will be looking for another one and hope you can find one worthy of your talents and stickability. flowers

Thank you all.

Yes, I've definitely got better about the driving thing, give me a satnav and an automatic (car, that is, not gun) and away I go!

Did have a few hairy moments though, when the satnav woman sent me down a very narrow road that had been closed at the far end with newly installed concrete bollards!
