So, basically, I've slaved away in a sweat-shop like network monitoring environment for the last three years. Well, I handed in my two weeks today... Man do I feel good!
I've taken a job with Toshiba Business Solutions, as an IT Service Technician. Basically, I go on-site and fix peoples broken stuff. Everything from Exchange to network installs. And, it's only Monday to Friday, 8 am until 4pm. No more midnights or weekends for me! Should be fun!

Congrats, I know all to well what it's like to leave a s***ty job for a really decent one.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

Sounds like you're doing / were doing similar work to me.. I so far want to stab myself in the eye, and am waiting for a better job to come my way.. And it sounds like you found a better calling, good job !
the 8am-4:30 thing I do is driving me crazy, waking up at 6 in the morning isn't a 19 year old thing to do :| Especially getting closer to summer...

Congrats on getting out alive!
I have 4 more days left -- and I feel so much better now! I'm more relaxed, I can sleep a full night now without waking up dreading going to work in the morning, and just sort of a general state of euphoria.

Update!
My current employer has come back to me... Looks like I'll be staying. They're giving in to my hours request, with an agreement that within the next two months I'll be moving into a new position as internal IT (Windows & VOIP support) rather than customer facing. Much more appealing to me.
Doesn't mean I can't keep looking though... :)
