Hey everyone. Sorry it's been such a long time. 

Basically...I quit my job only because my boss sorta asked me too. 

Long story, but to try to make it short: My boss called me in two weeks ago and told me basically she wanted to combine my job with another job, and how I should basically quit as soon as I find something else. Also she said since I graduated it was time for me to leave basically in the most sugar coated way it made me sick. 

I know my boss well enough she was planning to give my job to a friend of hers which is fine. 

But what hurt me the most is she forced me to basically say I should quit and yet despite working for 2 and 1/2 years, we hired an employee who is not only worked there for 6 months, (but she is a two faced liar who sucks up to everyone and then when these people are not there, she talks crap about everyone. Especially my boss) 

She basically would rather have her because she's sociable than me who is quiet but does her job rather than taking frequent breaks 20 mins every hour. 

I remember being in shock the entire work day and this is where it got...I ended up telling my mom and sisters about this. 

I ended up quitting then and there. 

I know what some of you may be thinking. Why didn't I just stay there until I found a job. 

The thing is. I felt hurt. Really hurt. Like I couldn't stand working there knowing my boss wants me out. It really hurt me. 

I never expected to stay at my job forever, but I thought I would leave at my own terms. Rather than being tossed from my boss. 

But I had to get out of there. This was my last straw. I was feeling unhappy to for a while and I felt this really was it. I was currently down since then (two weeks later) but I oddly feel somewhat calm. 

I am applying for other jobs like crazy of course and got an interview yesterday to work in a library. But still looking just in case. I now feel calm and I feel okay now. Not great but certainly better than 2 weeks ago. 

Just wanted to keep you all posted, I'm alive. Ha...

Hey girl! Haha, yeah, I decided to show up again, surprise. :) Of all the people I sometimes thought about and missed while I was gone from dA you were the Nr. 1. (psst, don't tell the others).
Now that I read your journal I'm kinda mad at myself I didn't check in sooner, you needed a friend :( Are you okay? I hope your family was there for you, they always sounded like the kind of people who wouldn't let you down ever.
That whole job situation sounds so shitty! I remember how we talked some time ago and you said the job was pretty cool but the way you describe how your boss treats you is unacceptable. Welcome to the working world, where performance doesn't count and it's only a question of who has the brownest nose and licks butts the most thoroughly.
I hope you find/have found a job where they appreciate you more. Sure, theye will always be corruption at some point but it sucks so hard when I see someone who is so legitimately precious, sweet and also super hard working getting the short end. It's probably best you got out of there before they exploit you further.
I don't think you need to explain why you quit then and there, it's perfectly understandable.
