Does any one else want to quit their job?
I don't know if it's pregnancy hormones or if I just geinuinely HATE my job lately - but all I can think about is QUITTING! I hate it so much! I have to drag myself out of bed every day. The commute is making me nuts and its getting harder the bigger I get. I just hate it so much, I don't know how I'm going to make it another 3 months.
Sorry I just needed to vent and find out if I'm not alone....

Re: Does any one else want to quit their job?
I'm sorry you are going through this. I had a really crappy morning today that was not pregnancy related (missing the train then the next train because I was getting gas and couldn't find a spot )
But overall its not too bad. But my commute is pretty easy - i am the 2nd to last stop on the express train and I work 1 stop from Penn Station. So its not too bad. I am also feeling really well.
Hopefully it will get easier. On cold days like this it makes it so much worse.

Re: Does any one else want to quit their job?
I'm 31 wks, and think about it every day! Actually my original plan WAS to quit right about now, and take the rest of the pregnancy off. But I can get 2 1/2 to 3 months at full pay if I stick it out till the end, so for now I'm just taking it day by day because I'd like to collect that money.

Speaking of FMLA/short term disability do you have to be employed with one company for a certain amount of time or work overall a certain amount of time?

Re: Does any one else want to quit their job?
ME TOO! Tired of taking 3 trains and then having to walk 5 damn city blocks. I had my boss hire someone part time a few weeks ago, i went to part time last week only 2 days a week. I Love having 5 days off in a row. So much more time to pack since we are moving in 4 weeks.

Re: Does any one else want to quit their job?
I'm SOOO glad I'm not alone...misery loves company
So I figured it out:
111 days til my due date and I'll probably go out 2 wks before. I'm going to push for Easter - which is about 3 weeks before...so if you take that in to account, then it's only 88 days...and out of that, it's only 61 work days left (this is taking into account that I'm off Feb 20th and I requested off March 13th)... But who's counting.

Speaking of FMLA/short term disability do you have to be employed with one company for a certain amount of time or work overall a certain amount of time?
FMLA you usually have to be with your company 12 months AND they have to have over a certain # of employees. I forget what the # is.
STD is separate, you get 6 weeks for vaginal, 8 weeks for c-section. $170 per week before taxes in NYS (at least that's what it was last year)
I was with my company 11 months when I delivered, so no FMLA (so they didn't have to hold a job for me) but I got STD.

Re: Does any one else want to quit their job?
My last day is Friday. Today I sat at my desk and cried...Literaly. I will be working from home and then only returning part time. Its just so hard sometimes. And it seems like if you need something done you have to do it yourself. And to add to this, I'm short one person since last week and she won't be back until I'm gone.

Re: Does any one else want to quit their job?
ME!!! It's getting really hard for me to go to work everyday. I'm so ready to be done! It seems like I have a ton of work piled on until the end and it's getting overwhelming. I have 23 work days left and they can't seem to go by fast enough!

Re: Does any one else want to quit their job?
ME! I have 13 weeks left and I look forward to doing my weekly timesheet because I only made enough worksheets in excel until the baby is due. I push myself to much at work and I think the partners forget I am pregnant sometimes.

Re: Does any one else want to quit their job?
I don't hate my job right now but I seem to be getting easily irriated lately. My students really know how to push the buttons!!! or, well maybe its the hormones...

Re: Does any one else want to quit their job?
Wow, I felt the same way when I was still working. I absolutely HATED going to work and would try to do anything and think of any excuse not to go, but I had to. I think it was my hormones and just me being very tired but I can totally relate to you. The happiest day was my last day there. I am honestly dreading going back but know that I will probably feel different since I won't have these hormones making me nuts.
