To want to resign from my job after only 2 months?

I left my last job to start this one just a couple of months ago. I knew within the first week it wasn’t for me, even though everyone who works there is really nice. I have that horrible feeling, even though its only early Sunday afternoon, about the week ahead. I’ve not felt like this for years.
I’m wondering how I can go for interviews for anything else I apply for if I’m still working here. It’ll look strange if I keep taking the odd days off here and there, so is it easier to get a new job if you’re still employed or is that a myth? I definitely want to leave, so I suppose the question is the one I just asked. Am I likely to get an interview elsewhere if I tell them I’m not currently employed? The job is making me really miserable. I have a bit of money set aside to see me through for a few months.

I find it easier to leave a job I know I really don’t like ASAP then you don’t have to put a job of only a couple of months or so on a CV.

I’ve left jobs that were a mistake a couple of times now within a month, never put them on CV or mentioned again. And found a new job within a matter of weeks - it’s much easier to go for interviews! I do have DH and savings and our finances are pretty good which is how I can afford to do that.
