3. I'd take the smaller office, cozy it up, and put a mini bar in it.

If you are gonna leave anyways, stick around and have some fun.

Might sound like I'm taking your problem lightly, but I was REALLY bullied at my last job. I let it take over my whole life and shatter my self esteem.

Then I got colon cancer. Just had my operation and am now getting chemo.

I realized how fucking unimportant office bullshit is. Who really gives a shit. Hug your partner, kiss the kids, make money and live your fucking life. If it's that bad, leave. If its not, stick around and have some fun.

Life is too short. It's too fucking short. I'm only 32....and though I hate what I'm going through, I'm glad I learned this lesson early.
