I just don't want to do this with my life anymore. my boss asked me if I can stay until the end of December. I'm not even sure it's a good idea but I guess more money and insurance is better.

Sounds like a good idea to stay on while looking for another job. Don't be surprised if they suddenly let you go before that point though.

I told him I'm ready to leave but he seemed to want to talk about the idea. it seems like a weird situation where I'd be checked out and my coworkers have to pick up my slack.

Do you at least have a new job lined up already...?

nope. it's going against my instincts but I'm overwhelmed and I suck at this job. I've had too many sleepless nights.

Ooooooh boy. Never tell a job that you intend to quit before you have something else lined up. The whole "two week's notice" thing is a made-up courtesy; your boss is not your friend. You're not just expendable now, you're guaranteed refuse. Don't be surprised if you get told to just go home on a whim.

maybe, but I doubt it. I'd not quit without being prepared for this possibility. I suppose if someone above my boss wanted to retaliate they could.

besides, I'm prepared to live off my savings for up to six months. I've had enough of this industry which I started working in just to survive.

I hope you find something you enjoy. Or at the very least something you dont hate. I was in your shoes not too long ago. Life is so much easier when you dont hate your job. You dont necessarily have to love it, just dont hate it.

Very true, and no one ever said I wish I spent more time at the office/job on their death bed either.

Did you tell him why you are leaving?

Dude next time, I would line up another job first.. unless you really intend to be off for a couple months or something.
