so i put in my notice

plthijinx · 09-29-2011, 08:35 PM

i'm quitting the go kart track. i didn't give a 2 week notice i gave a 3 month notice. i don't want to quit but know i have to. i feel surreal. these long hours are taking their toll. in an average week lately with both jobs i work 72 hours. i'm tired. i need a break. i love the track dearly and bob has done more for me than i would have thought possible by someone. always there, always a friend. why do i feel like i'm....i dunno, letting him down? i feel guilty about quitting. i love that job. i love an easy night there, i love a drama filled night there. i don't want to quit but for my health....i need to.

plt I know how you feel. all of my jobs are unpaid. I put in many many hours. They're harder to give up than decently paid jobs because you have to love them to stick it out for so long.

true that.

it will be nice though to only work one job. for instance, right now i'm leaving the house. 6:10am at the latest. i won't get home until around 2:10am saturday then wake up at 5:30 saturday for an 8 hour overtime shift at day job.

gotta run!

Phlthy, you've got to look after yourself. You can always help your mate out by doing the odd shift when he's stuck for someone to cover for him. That will be a lifesaver for him now and again as you already know the ropes.

Good luck mate! Drop me a line and let me know how you are doing.

Now what will you do with all the spare time?

I envision many more threads with fix it projects, which are very nice btw.
