I like to write about a variety of topics that interest me. Whatever I'm writing about, I strive to be as accurate and informative as possible. I'm big into DIY projects, financial stuff, and a little bit of humor.

When was the last time you leapt out of bed with boundless joy, eagerly anticipating the work day ahead?? Yeah, right. Hah hah hahahahahahah!!!!!!
Anyway, I gave this a little thought and I came up with a few classic signs of job burnout which hard working folk like us need to be on the lookout for.
It goes like this…..
YOU KNOW IT’S TIME TO QUIT YOUR JOB WHEN…………
1) ….you start to think that the last job you quit wasn’t so bad after all. (Okay, kind of a no-brainer, but I’m just getting warmed up).
2) ….your morning routine includes, “.....Better make this last one a Peppermint Schnapps so my boss will think its mouth wash.”
3) ….your boss doesn’t take time out of his day anymore to tell you what a lousy screw-up you are.
4) …. your boss says, “Any Monkey can do your job.” You in turn learn the Tarzan yell perfectly, in addition to performing your daily work.
5) …..you
6) …..all of your closest relatives have died at least two times and bereavement leave is no longer a viable vacation option.
7) …..you try to convince your wife to become an exotic dancer to support the family. (you even bring home the advertisement).
8) …..you can explain your job to your three year old in less than five words and she understands it perfectly.
9) …..you have been bent over so many times you consider adding PPD to your job title. PROCTOLIGIST PRACTICE DUMMY.
10) …..you start becoming a daily contributor to the company newsletter, which is written in black marker, on the door of bathroom stall number 3.
Please feel free to add any more of your own signs or tips that indicate you may need to be moving on to greener grass. Have a very productive day. As for myself, I’m going to sleep till noon, and maybe read a few Help Wanted ads later on this afternoon. Or I might pay some bills. Hopefully Citibank Visa has raised my credit limit.

11) You dream of Work Demons all night long.
12) You hit your alarm clock 20 times before removing yourself from the bed to get ready for work. 13) You find yourself praying that nobody will ask where you work and what you do because it will certianly destroy any good time you were having at the time. 14) You find yourself actually contemplating going back to school. 15) You find yourself game to those work at home scams in hope there is one out there for you. 16) You find yourself, women especially, wishing you were older than you already are, just so you can retire and not have to worry about greener grass with another employer. 17) Finding yourself searching for a cheap peice of property in the middle of nowhere and try living off the land. 18) Kiddie daycare is more pleasant than your job you left in hopes of finding a better pasture. |

You start to envy the homeless guy curled up over a vent near your office because he gets to sleep late and doesn't have any responsibilities to worry about plus he has more money in his pocket than you do after all your hard work.

You read the adult gigs on Craigslist and actually consider letting someone pay you to use your toes to satisfy their foot fetish

Well now, those are some good questions. I said I considered it, but I never actually went through with it ... so I dunno how much it would actually be worth. heh.

You try to think of some body part you can live without for time off on medical leave (hint: tonsils, wisdom teeth, appendix)

Here we have the same guys standing on the corner week after week with signs that say things like, "Traveling and Hungry." or "Hungry, Anything Will Help, God Bless." They get a lot of people who give them money and often it is a lot of money. We watched one guy give the same beggar money twice at the same red light! That sounds like a pretty decent job! Work when you want, where your grubbies, and you can certainly sleep late if you wish!

I love number 6. I knew it was time to flee my job when I faked the death of my fake aunt (she had a heart attack) then took three days funeral leave. It's seriously time to quit when you tear up in HR as you tell them your sad news. Nice article.

19) You pray every morning for Jesus to help you not go postal! 20) You are willing to take a job that pays less in order to obtain peace of mind!

22.) You begin thinking that your garbage collectors have a pretty fascinating job. 23.) You actually calculate how many envelopes you will have to stuff per day to equal your current salary. 24.) You consider going back to school for Mortuary Science. 25.) You get inspiration for a new job from "Dirty Jobs".
