Job 1 has been awful lately. My boss is the biggest b*tch I have ever worked for, and considering some of my bosses, that is saying a lot. I am miserable there, so miserable. The environment is like a succubus that just sucks the life and joy out of you. One of my coworkers drives me to my last bit of compassion and I have just had it. I am so freaking tired of. I just started bawling today thinking about it this week.
DH told me if I was this stressed, that it isn't worth it. It isn't good for me or the baby, and I have to agree. If I decide to quit, my plan is to do my consulting work to make up for as much of the income as possible. The only issue is that the assignments I get for consulting vary in pay. There is a minimum that I know the pay will never drop under though.
I am just thinking things out:
If I do 6 hours of consulting work a day, or 42 hours a week, the minimum pay would be 294 a week, the maximum would be 630. I know, big difference huh? Here is what out budget would be at $294 a week, the minimum. This is also based on DH just working 40 hours a week. He has been working a TON of overtime lately, but I know better than to depend on that.

I think it could work. Of course, I pray I will get assignments that pay more than the minimum pay. Normally, the assignments pay more towards the mid end of the range, at least. But, I know we could do it on the minimum. I have just have to be disciplined and make sure I work that six hours EVERY day, without fail. I can do it at any time of the day, which helps out. Our debt paydown will be slow down, but I think at this point, I would be willing to accept it. Sigh. It all sounds so good on paper, but working up the courage to actually make the move is so scary.
