Its def more important to be happy when over half of our week life is spent working vs being miserable. Life is too short to be unhappy and just remember you have walked away as a much stronger and wiser woman from this.

It's embarrassing, sure, but it's such a relief to feel back at home. I understand those sad-ish feelings though.

I'm glad you are started to put the psych experiment behind you.

You went to a new job--it wasn't what you thought---so you make the right choice by moving on! One thing I've realized in life is that you shouldn't waste time doing things that you dont find enjoyment in. My fiance recently switched jobs----and he's never been happier. His experience was very similar to yours----what he thought was going to be so great---turned out not to be. He was afraid to admit that---but now he is SO happy that he just accepted the fact he wasn't happy and found something better for him! I'm so happy you are in a great working environment now!!!

You 100% made the right decision for you, not everyone would have the courage to do that.<br /><br />We've talked about this before, but simply put, life is too short. Life is much, much, MUCH too short to be overly concerned with money and spend hours working at a job you hate!

I was so worried about both of you! You were running on fumes, working insane hours and not sleeping and terribly unhappy. The difference I see in you now is incredible. I am thankful you are back with your former employer as well.

If we can learn something from all of our experiences, good and bad, then we have accomplished something. When a person dreads going to work each day, and when co-workers or bosses make one feel bad about themselves, the fit is not right, and leaving was the best decision! 2011 will be a better year!Marlyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06193291251401344495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-11695140807342082752010-11-23T09:24:31.360-06:002010-11-23T09:24:31.360-06:00I don't think you have anything to be ashamed ...I don't think you have anything to be ashamed about regarding your former position.

You won't be wondering what it was going to be like for the rest of your life. I also don't think you should be disappointed in yourself. By all accounts, that place sounded absolutely terrible. Considering the amount of time we all spend at work, finding an environment that doesn't leave us stressed and depressed when we get home at the end of the day is necessary.
