I'm a girl...

I really need a new job. I feel like I am whining but eight to ten hours a day, working out side painting rich people's houses is really hard work. Not to mention the fact that I am allergic to latex, the base for the paint I am elbows deep in every day. I have been told by a lady I respect who has similar health issues as I (food intolerences.. etc..) that women need more rest than men and that particularly with my system, I need alot of rest. This feels like just bailing out because I am finding it difficult. The stubborn side of me wants to pull my act together and just work harder. The warning in my head tells me that I am getting sicker with the constant exposure to the latex. There is also the added unhappiness in being around David too much. I think that not only would it be healthy for me to find a job that isn't straining me physically but also a needed seperation from my fiance so that I am happy to see him instead of focused on what I have to do and annoyed at him. For the past two days working with him has been tolerable because we stay on seperate sides of the house.
I have the next few days off in order to attend another pagent.
I am not sure why I love my sister this much, but I endure pagent after pagent in order to show her support for a competion I could never put myself through.
well I am not burl enough to paint houses daily and I cannot be fluffy enough to deal with competing in beauty pagents. Guess I am just a normal average girl.

How bad is the allergy? It sounds like as good enough reason as anything to leave the job.

Yeah. It is. David has me off painting duty while the boss is away. When my boss comes back off vacation, I am going to give my notice.
