Your ordeal is nearly over. Hang in there.

5th October will soon be here.

How you must be feeling. I think you must have had a lovely stitchy day and you deserve it! And I don't blame you for not telling everything. She has been such a %*#$). Sounds like she isn't going to last long. Trying to figure out people like she is is a waste of time. The next two weeks will be so much easier for you now that you arent' going to feel trapped. Are you going to take any time between jobs? Good luck with the new job!

That must be such a sense of relief to have done the last major step towards leaving. Sounds like your current boss won't be lasting too long anyway (and that she's probably aware of that deep down too).

Not long to go now

So very well done. Congratulations on such a great handling of this obnoxious person. And it will be easier to keep it sweet(er) for the rest of your time there knowing that the end is in sight. I'm so happy to see that you are looking forward in such a positive way. I'd love to see a photo with the new look. You are very strong indeed.

Sounds like a wonderful new start for you . I'm a strong believer in things happening for a reason and maybe this woman making your life hell was 'sent' to push you to take that step into something new.

I'm glad things are going so well!

Lori, I have just read through this entire thread and I am so happy for you. You were brave to stand up for yourself, got a new job and will be doing absolutely well, I am sure.
Also, I know what you speak of when you say this forum helped a lot - I have been through some really hard time and wouldn't have coped without all my friends here.
So well done, Lori and well done CSF

Oh, I am so happy for you. Your last post says it all. Sounds like you are going to have a lot to learn and that will make going to work fun and challenging. It also sounds like a pleasant place to work and maybe its just the way the job title sounds to me, but this wasn't just a job change it was a promotion. I am delighted for you. :

I am so happy that things are looking up for you. Life is too short to be miserable in ANY aspect of it. We have to pay the bills and we alway strive to love what we do to because we spend so much time at work but the reality is we should "work to live, not live to work". We are so much more than our jobs and if your quality of life suffers from what you do, it is time to do something else. I am so glad that you recognized that and made such courageous steps to improve your situation. Now you will not walk around with a heavy weight on your shoulders, at work and at home, and you have the added bonus of growing, not dying, as you work. You will learn new and different things that you would not have working under "boss-zilla". I think it's good that you let her know how you felt and who she is as a boss. She should hear it and you deserve to be free once and for all of the negative emotions she has brought to your doorstep.

Best of wishes and congratulations. Sorry about the long post but I can't stand BULLIES!

So glad to hear you are enjoying your new job!

Awesome

Oh I'm so pleased. I was afraid to open the post lest it was bad news but I'm so thrilled it's great 8}

Yay! Hope things will continue on smoothly from here!

Fantastic! And heels can do that to a gal... you do get used to it, or so I'm told (don't want to say exactly how long it's been since I worked in an office rather than from home). I think you've learned the most valuable of lessons about yourself and your own capabilities. Congratulations, and all the best for the new job.

That's great news about the first week in the new job. Hope you continue to enjoy it and best of luck with the new challenges

So pleased everything is looking up for you now

I'm so pleased for you. You deserve this after all you have been through. I understand the feel/legs hurting but am willing to bet that you are walking taller in them and feeling good. Hope the job is all you want it to be.
