I quit!

I wish. I am starting to really like this working at home thing. Like I mentioned the last time, my stress level is significantly lower when I work at home. My bipolar issues, which are, more often than I would like, triggered by work, are all but gone. I feel like a different person. I feel happier. The office was making me miserable and I didn't even really realize just how miserable until being forced to work at home because of foot surgery.

I wish that I could continue to work at home indefinitely but there is no way I am going to be able to. There is no way they will let me. I feel like calling up HR and just saying look, I am not coming back to the office. Except that's basically like quitting my job which I can't really do. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful to have a job and all that, it's just that my job is making me unhappy and it has been for a while. I like the actual work okay, I just don't like the office environment, the stress, or what it does to me.

The only way they will let me telecommute permanently is if I move away from Chicago. So, I am going to move.

I just don't know where to yet.
