TAKE THE JOB.

If you know you'll regret not leaving, then leave. The awfulness of the current coworkers will be done with as soon as you're gone.

I dreamed about superheroes last night, which is weird, because I am so not a comics person. But I think all the excitement about The Avengers is getting to me.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

If I leave, people at my current work are going to be awful for a period of time.

That will not be your problem for very long. (And if that's really likely to be the case, fuck 'em.) Go for it!

Your first responsibility is to yourself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If you know you'll regret not leaving, then leave.

This. And congrats, le nubian!!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Doooo eeeeeeeet.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Your first responsibility is to yourself.

Absofuckinglutely. I'm all for having a sense of responsibility to your job and your co-workers and showing loyalty.

OTOH, if they undervalue you so much that they (a) are not compensating you enough to stay; or (b) have created a toxic environment then you'd be foolish to soak up the failings of your workplace.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Awful coworkers for limited time vs. eternal regrets

Unless the coworkers awful extends to poisoning our coffee, I'd say give notice and take the job. If the awfulness does extend to poisoning your coffee, I'd say just drop a note off with the receptionist and run.

ETA: And, of course, take the job.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Congrats, le nubian! I knew they'd see your awesomeness.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Congratulations le nubian!
