I finally put in my notice at the ATM job. I may be working here once a week starting July, but for now, let's consider it a full on, "I quit". I started doing some numbers last week, and realized that I was working around sixty hours a week, seven days a week. And had been doing this since mid April.
Seriously. I've had one day off since around April 10th. I had to put in the notice - I've been looking forward to the chance to, you know, sleep.
The best part, though, was when I put in the notice. A day afterwards, I sent an e-mail to a coworker, more or less informing him that I put my notice in, and could he please forward it to some other parties, so I could make sure someone got ahold of it.
He didn't reply with "Sure, Dave, I can do that." He didn't say "Oh, it sucks that you're leaving, we're going to miss you!". He didn't even say "Oh, thank God you're leaving. You're a complete tool."
Nope. He said, more or less, "Yeah, 60 hours a week is a bit excessive. Hey, can you take my shift tomorrow?"
And so, yours truly wound up working almost 70 hours this week. Apparently, I've decided sleep is for suckers.
