I need the last paycheck. So I'm sticking it out to the end of the month. But if I don't get fired, I'm going to ask for a leave of absence, or quit. But I'm still worried about what happens next. Rent in my city is expensive, and salaries are comparatively low. The political job pays decently, for the city, but even if I can find a similar full time job after election season, I'll be paying a little over half my salary in rent. So that tells me that I'm probably going to be leaving town soon, leaving my local network, and facing more instability and turmoil... no matter where I look, I don't see a peaceful settled life in my future for a long time.
