Man, to stumble upon this, at this time in my life, of all times.

I literally just sent an email to HR, talking about how my new boss is horrible - I've only had him for 2 months and now I'm home on sick leave from stress.

I'm hoping he gets the boot - still in his trial period, even! But truth be told, the experience burned me so much that I think I'll just leave for something different.

I can definitely relate to having the mental snot beat out of you. I began to doubt my own skills, because I basically haven't been allowed to do anything technical since late November.

Yesterday, I had an interview with the CTO of a super exciting, fast growing company with an awesome product. The interview was scheduled for 1 hour, but we went 2.5 hours because there was just so much interesting stuff to talk about. I felt like I was myself again. I still got it baby!

What I guess I'm saying is, I can relate, it's fucking tough, and it's fucking awesome that you've moved on! Congratulations. Now make sure you heal.
