    Desperately need to stay focused on GRE; but instead struggling to get my leave sanctioned. Renews the hatred for my boss. And not to mention, I despise my job!

    I am going NUTS waiting for my hubby's job offer to be finalized with a start date so we can move. That and taking 3 online courses & doing my observation hours in the midst of it all is driving me crazy. UGH!
