After this week at work I realized that working with my child boss is unbearable. I spend 75% of my work time wanting to rip my hair out or beat someone. Especially since we are hiring 2 more people she is on this power trip, I think about being able to "supervise" all of them and getting an office (I can't believe they think she needs an office. It makes me so angry). She keeps saying things like, "I think that'll be a great first task for the new person." I keep thinking, "your kidding me. One person already started and you were so unprepared for her to start she has worked there a full week before anyone even started to talk to her about what her job would be or give her anything to do that was her job."
I despise work. I spend the other 25% of my time there trying not to think about how much I hate it.
I'm torn between quitting and then finding a new job (I really want to quit so badly) and waiting to find another job before I quit.
But in my 8 months there I have gotten a total of just over an 18% raise. That's not bad for 8 months.
I mean if that continues maybe it's worth being miserable. Is it? No. It's not, I hate being miserable.
Also it's getting dark so early now. Stupid daylight savings time. I like the "extra hour" of sleep, but I hate it being dark at 5:00 instead of 6:00 all of a sudden. I mean it gradually gets darker earlier and then BOOM 1 hour earlier!
So, I'm making a commitment to actively look for a new job. Any ideas?

I recommend that you find a new job, and THEN quit. Less stressful that way.
Here are 750 jobs in the South Hadley Area... I'm guessing you can narrow things down a bit: http://jobsearch.monster.com/Search.aspx?fn=&re=93&cy=us&brd=1&jsnonreg=1&pg=1&cnme=south%20hadley&sid=40&rad=20&rad_units=miles
What do you want to do?
Unless you have a lot of savings that you don't mind parting with, you should probably stick it out until you find a new job. Maybe apply to a few other non-profits in the area? Matt has a friend who works in one in Northampton; maybe he could ask her to meet with you for an informational interview type thing? I think a different non-profit could put your skills to much better use.
There's always Enterprise Rent-a-Car!!! :)
