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

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
