I Quit!

Okay...so I didn't quit my job, but I'm transferring back to being a senior teller at Jordan. This is a job I love and will never be bored of again. I know that I could be a supervisor at some point..and maybe in another 5 years I'll try it again, but I am loving the idea of less stress and working with people I actually like. My health is in poor condition right now and the more stress I have the worse it gets. So, in effort to reduce stress and time on the road (which is stressful sometimes) I have decided to go back. I hope it works out. I know it will...everyone seems excited for me to come back. I hate admitting that my health has gotten the better of me and I tried to play it off as other things, but it really comes down to stress levels. It is true I don't love my current job and I probably never will. New Accounts is not my cup of tea. I'm glad to know it now and I won't ever have to worry about it again. I am happy to know that I can help out when needed, but I won't have to do it on a daily basis. Yipee!! All the agony and stress of wondering if I'm making the right decision is behind me. I feel good about this. Even though I would like to quit...I can't...so this is the next best thing....Getting paid to do something I love to do.

Welcome To My Head....If You Dare.

Well, I've come to another fork in the road. I hate them..I'm not a fan of forks. Okay, so I like forks, just not when they are in the road. So, I've come to a point at work where I don't like my job. The focus is all on one tiny part of the job...the part that I have a personal conflict with. The part that I avoided for 5+ years. The part that I've tried to overcome, but failed. Alright, maybe I'm being a little hard on myself, but I really don't like my job. I'm SO over it I can't stand it anymore. I'm not a salesman. I have NO problem offering products to customers. I have NO problem offering every benefit I can think of and letting the customer decided whether or not he/she wants it. I have NO problem if they say no. Well..I'm the only one that seems to feel that way. So...I want my old job back!!!! But then I don't want to go back to my old branch if I'm not going to stay. I don't want to get bored again. I don't want to have NO responsibility, I just want to focus on one aspect of my job. I just want to be a Teller supervisor. I have noticed that job doesn't really exist anymore and I need to decide what else I would like to do. New Accounts is NOT for me. Would it be horrible to ask for my old job back?? It's available...is that a sign? Ack!! I would lose .60 an hour but I would have 1hr less time of daycare a day and 30 less miles of driving a day. Plus I would be able to go home for lunch again and I would work with people I like. I can think of a MILLION reasons why I want to go back, but is it the right decision? Am I quitting too soon? Should I give up after just a few months? Would it be dumb of me to stay in a job that makes me miserable just for a little more money? YES! I think it would. I don't think the money is worth the stress and problems. Should I try a new job..a different opportunity? Will I like it? Hate it? Get bored really soon? I REALLY love being a teller...I think this job has just reassured me that I really LOVE being a teller. I don't think I will ever get bored again. Plus, if I'm a teller...I'll get my $100 incentive a month. So, it will even out. Ack!! What does a girl do in this situation? I just want to make the right choice, even if it isn't the easy one.
