Leaving a job

I've started looking into other employment opportunities and am already preparing my CV to send out once I hit some interesting job offers. I'm waiting for my current contract period to near its end and will start actively seeking a new job once that happens. For the time being I'm part of a project that I want to see through to the end, so that's what's holding me back for now.

I work somewhere that expects me to become proficient in a lot of new systems in record time and amass knowledge with almost zero guidance. I hate ambiguity and I hate feeling stupid...and this job has both in troves.
Also, I'm away from home quite a lot and it's eating me up. I can deal with high workloads, but not knowing constantly what I need to be doing, not getting any direction and unrealistic expectations of me are...damaging to myself.

Ah, if this is a real job, that makes it all the more important to tough it out. The only reason you should quit is if you get the inkling (for whatever reason) that they might fire you, because while quitting your first real job looks bad, getting fired from it is so much worse (trust me. Stupid seating disputes and fat old women with inflated self-importance)
