Some of you probably remember the depressing blog about a month ago... well, things hadn't improved but I did... I decided that I can continue like this. I don't have money. All I win, that is very little, goes to pay the rent, internet, electricity and food, leaving me with very little money that I have to save just in case I needed for something. I can't buy myself anything, going to have dinner with my friends has turned out as dinner at someone's place so I can save some more and I never go out anymore. This November, for my birthday, my bestfriends and I planned a weekend somewhere but because of me and my lack of money we maybe would have to postpone it. And I wanted to go to York and meet Sparky and AJ Buckley from CSI:NY but again I have no money...
And all that not tking in account the crazy hours and shifts I work... It's not normal to work 90 hours in one week and get paid what I do... So I'm gonna talk with the manager next week. If when my contract ends (November 30th) there is a possibility to continue here with better schedulles AND better I pay, I'll continue. If not I'm gonna ask for a little raise anyways if they want me to stay until the end of november because I can't keep up! If they say no I'm gonna quit by the end of September and since they would owe me 10days of holidays I'll probably be outta here by September 20th... I'm sad because I love the people I work with and because I adore my place but I can't continue just for this.
What I'm gonna do then? Well, look for a job. My priority right now is money. I owe my parents a lot of it because they helped me pay the car, the tv, the apartment... so I want to give them back what's theirs! That means that I'm gonna try to find a job as a vet with better conditions that the ones I have here BUT if I can't find one, I'm gonna go back to the cinema and work there where for working 35hours a week I would win the same as here working 90hours, emergencies and night shifts and since I'd be living wiht my parents I'd get the complete salary for me...
So... that's my plan... Any thoughts about it?
Thanks for listening!

Your plan looks great from where I stand, but of course I'm quite a few years behind you. The only experience I have with anything like this is when I switched schools, which the only thing I could possibly give you from that experience is, try not to leave on bad terms. Make it clear to them why you want to quit, and they might even be able to help you. Some people just get upset anyway, but then at least you tried. Whatever makes you happy hun is the way to go. 
*hugs* 
I'm really happy and also proud of you that you decided not to stay in the cubbyhole being miserable *huge hugs*. You thought about your situation, found out what bothers you and now you're doing something about it. Your schedule is more than crazy and if your bosses and managers know what's good for them they do something about it, not just for you, but in general. To break the back of the people who work for you won't help them ... I start rambling again 
I wish you all the best, whatever happens and wherever the road is gonna lead you. Go with your instincts and, like Sal said, find out what makes you happy. Then I will be happy too Love you tons *huge huggles*
HUGS!!
Thanks for the advise!! HUGS!!Twin: Thank you so much, hun. It's what I'm trying to be happier... What I've been doing for the past 9 months is really crazy... I hope I manage to feel better soon!!
Thanks. Love you! HUGS! And you can rant all you want...don't worry!
Too much. Anyways, I'll support you with any decision you make
*HUGS*
Considering the stressful situation you're at it was just a matter of time for you to react and try to get out of it. I think it'd be awesome if you were able to keep working at the clinic in more relaxed schedules and with a better salary: being a vet and having your independence is what fulfills you so I really keep my fingers crossed that's the case. After a whole year they already can tell if you are responsible and good at your job, and from what I tell, you are both things. But, if they go all jerky and don't mind about losing you, going back to the cinema sounds like a smart move while you look for something else. I totally understand you want to give back the money that's been given to you and not everyone can have a backup job so you are lucky. Anyway, best of lucks. Hope that whatever the outcome it only leads you a greater good in the long run. Will always be right here every step of the way cause I love you tons and tons. Huge huge hugs
Love you tons!! The situation changed today with the salary raise but the stress and long hours are gonna be there still and it's not like the rais it's been so big... I love my independency and my place is awesome, as you already know, but I dunno if I can continue like this... I'm gonna try for a while though... Thanks again! HUGE HUGS!!Renn: I actually don't know what I want to do with my life right now but since I spent 5 years in college and 2 more working as a vet I should give it a shot!
HUGE HUGS hun!
I do hope you still get to meet Sparky and AJ Buckley from CSI:NY someday (I don't watch the show, so I'm not familiar with them).
There's a convention in York and Sparky is going and AJ is one of the guests... I wish I could go... seems like not this year... thanks again! HUGS!!
