A coworker quit this past week with no notice and without having given any indication (at least not to me) that she'd been unhappy at her job. This normally wouldn't be a big deal to me except that she was basically in the same position that I am. Neither of us was particularly inclined toward the beauty industry, the jobs just sort of fell into our laps, and our responsibilities were largely similar. The only difference is that she was the beneficiary of favoritism and I was the beneficiary of nepotism.
...That last sentence might seem like a poor attempt at a joke (and it is), but truthfully, that's where the problem lies. She had no family ties and therefore had no qualms about just picking up and leaving. I can't do that. It's like a bad relationship (or so I hear) that you just smile and nod through, but on the inside, you can't wait for something better to come along so you can get out. I've already been told that they want me to be the new in-house IT guy after the new software is implemented. At this stage, we haven't even technically made the decision of which software package to buy. Once we do, it'll be three to four months to get it up and running. Figure another year to really learn it and get it all down and then another six to eight months to hire and train my replacement. So right off the bat, I'm stuck in this for at least two more years.

knicks -4.5 tonight vs. clippers? how?!
That's not true, you could quit in the next 3-4 months, giving them the ability to find someone new and train them.
