I can't improve on such wisdom. :) If I may, I'd like to feature your words in a post because I think it speaks to so many of us! Would that be ok? If so, just let me know how to credit you. Congratulations on your baby and on a decision that worked so well for you. I wish you all the best. Ronnie Ann Thanks for the great comment N.W!!! I can’t improve on such wisdom. :)

In addition to flitting from issue to issue and being unable to stick to an agenda, I'm sure my boss (the owner of the company) had some real psychological issues, as she could be overly nice one day, then raging and irrational the next. I was there for years, in a management position with good pay, and most of the time I felt "stuck and sad" like you. But then, one day I had an opportunity to get out in the most positive light possible: maternity leave. I took this time to really think about myself and my life and decided that even if I had to tough it out for a few months, I'd quit my job and try to find something else. I'm still looking for the right full-time job, while doing some freelance work, but I'm a much happier person than I ever was in my old, stress-inducing position. I learned from first-hand experience that money does not buy happiness. Much better to find a way to move on if you possibly can, and get away from being "stuck and sad" all the time. Life is too short. Stuck and Sad, I was in your shoes exactly.
