I Quit!!!!

You have no idea how long I've waited to say those words and today I finally said them! I finally quit my job working for the builder and Wednesday will be my last day. The building industry here in Michigan has been going down the tube for a couple of years and business has been so slow and boring. I have worked there for almost 10 years and haven't had a raise in over four years. One by one, they had to let the employees go and I was the last one standing. I finally made my decision to quit over the holidays but I wasn't exactly sure if it would be this week, next week or the following week but I knew it had to be soon. As soon as I walked into the office this morning, I had a sense of dread and I knew that today would have to be the day and that if I stayed one more week I would go crazy. Of course, she totally had to squash my thunder by stating that she's been thinking of letting me go but couldn't yet because she didn't know how to use the computer program. Real nice!! I guess I could see it coming because I noticed that she's been trying to do things on her own on the computer more and more. All the mistakes I found when I got back into work were a sure sign that she was trying but not succeeding. So today, we had a crash course on how to use the program. She did ask me if I would be willing to come in a few hours every once in awhile when she gets stuck and help her out. A little extra money never hurt, so I said yes. I have been so bitter and angry that I was all set to just walk out and leave her hanging, but once I made the decision to quit and gave notice, it was like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders and all of a sudden that didn't seem important anymore.
