They should be abolished.

The situation at work has become intolerable.

I've decided that in six months I start my new job search. In this time period I'm hoping the job market will loosen up a little, that I'll be able to get a few certifications under my belt, and hopefully eliminate any debts that are remaining on my credit cards so I'll have the ability to tuck some money away to tide me over if I end up meeting with no luck.

Will I be able last six months? I guess we'll see.

Fuck six months [in the ear!]. Start looking now, if only passively. Find out who's in the area, what requirements they have, pay scale, things like that. The sooner you start poking around the better off you'll be when you start flinging out resumes like there's no tomorrow.
Trust me on this one. I wanted to be in a new job by the end of June. It's nearly mid-September and I'm still stuck in my old job. I'll be lucky to start working someplace else by October at this point.

In the meantime, learn to relax. Fuck the fucking fuckers, tell them to go play hide and go fuck themselves. Do just enough work to not get fired. Have your girlfriend move in with you for a constant, reliable source of stress relief ;)

That's my advice, you may take it or leave it.

Yeah, what she said. Start looking now, with the intention to make the switch in five or six months. I started looking for a new job eight months before I finally found something that looked okay. I watched the online job sites so I could jump if something good showed up, I sent cover letters to a few places inquiring about job possibilities, and at one point I even talked with a recruiter.

The online thing finally came through for me, and I moved to my current job.

Just don't let anyone at your current place of employment know you're looking. That can be bad.
