I Quit My Boss, Not My Job

The job was great, but the boss not so much.

I Quit My Boss, Not My Job
Lacey DeJordy

Got that bitch of a boss? Does he or she try to get under your skin and add additional bullshit responsibilities that are out of your job title? Especially with the rate of pay that you are given? Does that crappy boss and job reflect upon yourself as a person when around friends, loved ones, family and others? Feeling frustrated? Angry? Overwhelmed? Stopped giving two shits about your job? You're not alone my friend.

Now, what's a nice way to quit that shit job (i.e. bitch boss) of yours? There isn't really. Other than being a total hotshot and throw your middle fingers up in the air and say, "eff you." Alright, I'm going a bit overboard here. Now, let me take a step back and give you my synopsis.

As we all know, every job has its flaws. That's a fact. Whether it's the work environment, pay, structure, school or personal obligations, getting fired, or laid off, we all leave our jobs for a variety of reasons. But the major reason: the boss is a total complete dumbass bitch.

Have you heard that saying that people generally quit their bosses, not their jobs? Well, that's a true statement. It's a common scenario that people usually dip out on a job within one to three months without any notice. Or some quit after being only on the job for two months just to realize that boss you thought was a super whimsical and witty character ended up turning into a crazy two-faced neurotic hoot.

Sometimes the job you end up having after college is not always the grandest of schemes. For example, as someone who has been out of school for almost three months now, I thought that this so-called job I had, which I only started working that time for two months, was destined to be set in stone for the remainder of the year (i.e. six-month post grad plan/life). Reality hits and BAM, things change. People change (drastically and abruptly). It's life.

As almost a quarter-of-a-century-old adult, I'm hitting that true hard knock life. Or as most of us would call it, a quarter life crisis. To all the young adults out there today in his or her twenties, you can agree that your twenties are not the easiest nor simplest of years.

Matter of fact, they are the most pivotal and shift-turning years of your lives. You'll make tough decisions, experience a tornado and roller coaster ride of ups-and-downs and pitfalls and go through a variety of shit jobs, bosses, people, relationships, etc. Especially when it comes to dealing with a cray cray boss.

Gradually entering the workforce, we all gotta start from the stinky dirt-ass bottom, such as a shitty hourly job, in order to make it to the top. Sometimes we get lucky and sometimes the universe God will lead us to different paths and directions. Love, hate, guilt, regret, we experience a variety of trials, emotions and obstacles to get to the place that we ought to be.

Respect those good bosses you have. Cherish them. And to those bitch bosses, that one person you cannot stand. Screw him/her. She or he is not worth that pocket change paycheck of yours. Take that sorry check to the curb and show those people who is boss. #bossgoals

"When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, 'Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her" John 8:7

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
