Reply #38: "What does the job provide you, what does the job cost you."

[Bertha Venation]

Provides:

1. good salary, absolutely necessary
2. good benefits, ditto necessary
3. my primary contact with other human beings (besides Mrs. V. of course) (I'm pretty isolated, need friends, don't know how to make 'em)

Costs:

1. 12 hours per day, 5 days per week (including commute)
2. lousy, often hellish, commute
3. almost daily anxiety
4. an anxiety attack (worse than the daily anxiety) at least once a week

A few years ago I quit a job under similar strain. I don't know what to do. We need the money I am making. I need to show some job stability on my resume. When you say "the job wasn't a good fit" over and over it kinda makes it clear that it's you that is the problem.
