"I'm so alive, I'm so enlightened"

Ok, it is official...I am definitely quitting my job.

We had a huge snow storm earlier this week and I was supposed to work on Monday night. My car and my roommate's car were both stuck in the driveway because of all the snow and ice. I called into work at about 8:00pm and told them that I wasn't going to be coming in at 10pm because of the weather. I figured that would beok since there were already 5 people there and working. Well apparently my boss decided to work that night as well and wasn't too happy about me just calling and sayig that I wasn't coming in without getting a sub. She called me at about 9:30pm and basically told me that if I didn't come in that I was going to lose my job. Now this wouldn't have been that big of a deal to me except that if I get fired from one department then I automatically get fired from any department that I work in...and I work in 3 others. So after she told me that, I explained to her that both my car and my room mates car was stuck in the driveway and I had no way of getting there. Her response was, "You can walk". So, in fear of losing my job and being the overly passive person that I am, I walked 3 miles in a freezing cold blizzard, with snow up to my thighs at some point, at 10pm at night, by myself!

Ok, ok. Maybe I am being a little dramatic, but that is pretty dangerous! At least I got a ride home and didn't have to walk home at 1am. This little incident definitely pushed me over the edge though...after the winter break...I'm done.
