Nearing the end?

This is the second Tuesday in a row that I have woken up thinking it was Friday.  To me that means that my Mondays are WAY too long and stressful.  What do you think?

I work with 8 women - 5 of them that are INCREDIBLY difficult.  When I started this job, it was great.  I loved my manager, loved the business, loved the benefits.  But, a year into the job, I was promoted to a different position and was given a new manager.  She is one of the Dreadful 5.  I have now worked for her for 2 years and it has not become any easier.  Just as I think things are settling down and the office dynamics are going to remain calm for a while, BAM! Someone has a fit and is throwing a temper tantrum about some stupid thing or another.  I can't DEAL WITH IT anymore!  These women are making me batshitcrazy

Two years ago when I started to hate my job, I told myself that I had to give the company (and my resume) 3 years of my time to see if things improved.  Well, that 3 year mark is 3 months away and I still get anxiety-tummy driving to work. 

I struggle with leaving because I am not a "quitter" and because I don't want to leave and then be in a worse situation.  But is that even possible?   Do all 50 year old women pick on each other and back-stab each other like these women do? I don't know! 

Please help!!!

  1. You are so funny. And so not like me.

    You are not a quitter. You've been there 3 years. I haven't stayed in one job for three years... EVER. You have served your time, and I am impressed you put up with that shit this long.

    I don't know though, groups of women are dangerous things. I'd suggest finding an office with at least a couple men in there, for flavor.

  2. Well, this nearly-50-year-old woman has no time for backstabbing and game-playing. Not only is it a waste of time, but it's an energy killer, too. I think these women must not have any other outlet for their......"energies."
