    Decision made, I’m resigning tomorrow. I don’t need this. I told my friend, who apologised for dragging me into it all which I think is telling
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Given how stressed you've been with this I think it's the right decision. This is no reflection on you/your abilities etc, but on them. What a shameful bunch for a disability group...

    Massive hugs though as I know you'll be taking it all personally - as I would.

    I talked, he listened and just said ‘resign then’. And, you know what? It really was that simple

    Sweetie the amount of stress you have had with this it isnt worth the affects on your health I do agree that it is the right decision, this is also another reason I am trying to change jobs as things have changed a lot at my place this week not just the shifts there are a lot of unhappy agents and at least 4 or 5 on my department alone that want to leave

    I think you have to look at the bigger picture - the amount of time you've spent so far on trying to sort this place out is vast - the Paula hours, the time thinking about it, the time worrying about it and it's only been getting worse. How much time this week alone have you devoted to it and you aren't getting anything positive back at all and they couldn't even help you by trying to make you comfortable for this upcoming event where you were told to bring your own chair! That's disgusting.

    In the past 2 weeks, I’ve worked every day except one. I realised that in the meeting yesterday and it made the decision a bit easier. I don’t have paid employment because I’m not well enough so certainly shouldn’t be doing voluntary work to that extent itms.

    Still, a good day ahead, mum and dad are up as she’s got a hair appointment so I’m going with mum to the hairdressers then we’re all meeting at my brothers for (mums) birthday cake

    You've got so much to offer and they've treated you so badly, it's the right decision Paula

    Have a great time with your mum and at your brother's and don't forget have a big slice of cake and maybe a little tipple

    Hope you're having a wonderful day lovely! You definitely deserve it!
    Working those hours when you aren't well enough to do so is only going to wear you down, exhaust you and cause you more issues! Definitely the right call. Have you written your resignation letter yet?
