We've all had those days where we stare at the clock hoping the next time we look it will be time to go home. We justify it by saying its nice out or we have somewhere to be, but is that really the reason or is it time for a new job? Take a peak at the following ten signs. If you can agree with even one, maybe you should consider shopping around for a new job!

New Job Sign #2: Your Boss Keeps Forgetting Your Name

New Job Sign #3: You Haven't Been Given a Raise in Two Years
If you are happy making the same hourly rate or salary you did when you started, you must already be a millionaire! Either that or your okay with the fact that the value of your grandfather clock increases faster than your hourly rate or salary increases!
New Job Sign #4: You Were Late for Work Twice This Week...And Just Don't Care

New Job Sign #5: You Lie About What You Do For A Living
Ever been to a family reunion and your father-in-law asked you what you do for a living? After he just got done smoking his $500 cigar, then sitting in his $5,000 Italian Leather chair? Hard to say your supporting his daughter off of $12.50 an hour so what do you do instead? Tell him you own your own business seems to be a pretty common answer! Instead, why don't you put those qualifications to good use and start searching for a new job.
