I finally went in and put in my notice yesterday. Phew... didn't realize how much I was stressing until I left my boss's office. Initially was going to put in a month's notice, but alot of my cases are ending in Sept, and he was starting to give me some new ones.

As one of the few immune to a horrid virus which turned the ( Read more... )
