On that note, I’m struggling to come to terms with my “two weeks notice.”

I know for a fact that she will not be able to replace and/or train me in two weeks. I tried to quit once last September, and once again in November. It wasn’t until April that she did anything to replace me. (Both of the following replacements quit, one after six weeks, the second after one week, respectively, neither giving any notice, just leaving.)

So… do I go in tomorrow and tell her that I’m actively pursuing another job and that she needs to hire someone right away? Do I wait until the job is secured before telling her? I know how to do some MAJOR things that others don’t know how to do, i.e. payroll, accounts payable, etc… I am going to have to teach her, ultimately, anyway… Or I can schedule vendor reps to come in and train her… The main thing is that I’ve TRIED to quit before, only I didn’t have another job lined up, and I felt guilty… two very real reasons why I didn’t actually leave that place in the past.

Now the other job isn’t 100% certain yet, but it’s very, very close. Even if the Children’s Hospital job doesn’t come through, the temp agency is still actively setting me up with interviews… And if I did have to wait at the most a few weeks before starting a new job, I could really, REALLY use some time off of work… and as far as money goes, I think I’d probably be alright for a few weeks… Ugh. Guess that’s what it ultimately comes down to… finances. Can I afford to go for two weeks with no income? Can I afford to go a month with no income? Can I mentally afford to stay there? I’m obviously WAY burned out on that crazymakingplace… *shrug*

I don’t know. I’d love all of my reader’s opinions on this one. What would my readers do? (WWMRD?) Please comment!
