I did the thing and stuck it out at my shitty job. Tomorrow, I get to quit the most abusive place I have ever worked. I got a new job at a shop that's a 15 minute drive away vs an hour commute. No more SCRUM with a gun to my head. No more getting yelled at for learning on my own and not working fast enough. No more making Grindr, but for CEOs. I have never been so happy. Thank you for the encouragement to find something else. Thank you for giving me hope. Thank you for being there, and being my sanity, my safe place.

    Life's too short to stay in a job you hate. Glad you are getting out and Congrats on the new gig!

    @stryter I know. I almost started crying on the train when I saw the email saying I landed this gig. I just have to stay off DevRant and HN for 90 days at the new gig during my probation period, but its so much more worth than staying here. I hate this job so much.

    I'm taking a paycut for better benefits (they're really awesome!!!!) and a shorter commute that doesn't make me want to throw myself in front of the train. I'm so happy. I had victory pizza and adult beverages tonight.
