    well this weekend i've been thinking about it a lot, and decided what's the point of doing something you hate so much.
    we're only here once and is it really worth being this unhappy.
    i mean working 2 while 10 on a bank holiday, there has to be more to life.
    in 2 minds whether to hand my notice in today and just say **** it.
    i'll keep you updated later.

    Don't quit yet, look for something else .....

    ... it's always easier to get another job when you already have one.</p>

    It's an employers market out there at the moment and they can pick and choose who they take on - most of them won't be attracted to someone who puts themselves on the dole. </p>

    Believe you me you don't want to be unemployed at the moment (I have been for two months and it's grim, I have now got a new job but not started yet)</p>

    RE: Don't quit yet, look for something else .....

    I agree with Swindon. Even in affluent (think I spelt that right :D ) Surrey jobs are harder to find. I work in London and my firm had 5 pages of localish jobs on their site. It's now down to 5 jobs last time I looked. It's hard if the job is crap I know I've been there (Foxs when I left school) Have you tried talking to the people who ignore you to let them know how it's affecting you ? Hope it works out for you anyway.
