Its official.... I'm demob happy
decision made... CVs out there... Not jumping ship til I find the RIGHT job but I am going.....
had a long chat with my CEO today and have agreed to hold off handing in my resignation for 2 weeks, so she can get back from her annual leave and have had a chance to talk to me about it.... but I dont believe there is anything she can offer me that would induce me to have another weekend of 7 phonecalls at various times about this, that and the other.... I'm NEVER totally off duty... NEVER out of contact if really NEEDED.... I HAVE to do casual pool shifts to make up the money I lose "not" working unsocial hours at another hospital.. This nackers me out... And I DREAD phoning HIM and telling HIM I wont be home til stoopid o clock, or getting phonecalls that wake up the whole house at stoopid o clock...
Love the job, love the place, love (most) of the team ... Tho there are still vipers in the nest...
But I HAVE to get a balance... And right now I'm totally off balance as far as home/work life goes.....
So watch this space.... Dream job, right rate of pay and right hours HERE I COME!!!!!!

Re: Its official.... I'm demob happy
Sounds like you've made a good decision for you and your family. Getting the balance right is the key to it all - working to live, not living to work and all that sort of thing.
Good luck with your job hunt, I hope you find one that ticks all the metaphorical boxes!

Good luck!!! I really hope you find another job really soon. The lack of separation between your home & work life is a complete killer of everything, your sanity, relationships with friends and family. No job is worth this.
I have everything crossed for you
