Um....so, I've taken the initiative to take a step in a different direction in my life.
I don't want to be an admin anymore. I've done that for going on 8 years (reception and administrative assistant work) and I've had it. I don't want to be that person anymore. The subservient good girl who obeys every order and never complains, but goes home and screams at the shower and takes her aggression out on her knitting or her derby girls or her friends, or what have you.
I want to be a different person. Who helps people, rather than does things for them that they could have done themselves. I don't like enabling lazy people to be more lazy.
Have a coffee break when you're done with your own work. Don't pass it off to me and then go take your break for hours while I break my back and do your work and you take all the credit and I get reamed because I'm not getting shit done.
But I digress.
I have enrolled in school. I start March 10th.
I also have my tryout for the derby team March 10th.
I do believe my new life has started.
Excellent.

According to Eleanor Roosevelt, you should do one thing every day that scares you. Sounds like you are taking the advice to heart! Just remember that none of these decisions are irreversible, so go for it! Take it from someone who's started over more times than I can count--the only thing you'll regret is that you didn't do it sooner!

Congratulations on the return to school. A new direction indeed....
As for the missed holiday bonus, it doesn't really matter, but on principle that's not fair. I know if you lose a job you still are entitled to any accrued vacation pay (which usually starts at the beginning of the year). So why not a holiday bonus?
Jerks.
