It took almost 7 years
After almost 7 years with my firm I finally had my breakdown...and when I say breakdown I mean I freaking CRIED in front of the project manager. Unbelievable. What is so frustrating is that this is all due to my client counterpart - I CANNOT stand working with this woman. She absolutely drives me crazy because she is worthless. She can't think for herself, can't make a freaking decision, wants people to do all of her work for her, "delegates" and makes excuses for not turning in work when due, she doesn't DO any work - she just talks to people and complains about how busy and stressed she is. So although we had a heart to heart the beginning of this year where she pretty much told me she can;t deal with the way I treat her - I softened up for 2 months but the bad behaviors are back. And they are getting worse where she comments on the fact other people notice how annoyed I am. This environment is so unhealthy. I am working my ass off, running around with so many moving pieces, and dealing with a team that sucks.
So I want out. I can't find any decent job postings though and I swear I will never find a job in SF. I just want to stop - take a break - go shopping, get my nails done and massages...and I guess I could do this but then where do I get my $$??!!
On a happier note - I can;t wait for VEGAS!!!!!!!

Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry! Sounds like you're having a 7 year itch! You've been with them for so long, it's almost inevitable! Maybe you need a real vacation? Like, not a long weekend but 2 weeks or something to regroup, spend a few days travelling if you want, and then the rest of the time re-grouping, getting massage and taking care of yourself?
Or, maybe consider moving out of SF to a lower cost of living? I don't know...I'm in the same boat (sort of, well, not really, but in terms of dissatisfaction) so I feel your pain! hugs

I am just now seeing your post and I'm sorry to hear of your stresses. Work stuff sucks ass. I feel your pain in a lot of ways. Come June, I'll be at my job for 7 years too and I am constantly questioning why I'm still here.
Hang in there my dear and just keep looking for jobs and talk to people - friends, family, etc.- to see if you hear of anyone hiring in an area that sounds good.
I totally agree with j-do - take some time off!!! Even if you can't take a full vacation right now, get some time and do your massage and your nails and just have a day for you!!!
