I hate my job.

I don't know much longer I can deal with it.

Too much red tape and shit happening where
I work..........understaffed and still the higher ups
still expects things to get done when we have to
deal with 6 residents........

Almost had a breakdown at work this morning :(

Oh Jen I hope that you can find something else real soon. I know the feeling. I am suffering from burn out and working those god awful hours doesn't help. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Hang in there sweetie! (((((((((((JEN))))))))

Hey Tigerjen

i think you should look into getting your real estate licence.

Work is just the garbage that prevents you from spending more time with your Lit friends. Step back, breathe deeply--you way too fun of a person to deserve such stress!

What you need is a de-stressing hobby. I suggest building a house out of popsicle sticks.


Then set it on fire just to watch it burn.

Jen...I have worked either for the government or the phone company for the better part of my life. (Red tape and illogic in triplicate.) You might prepare a resume' and DISCREETLY apply at some places that you think may be more to your liking. It is always easier to obtain a new position while you still have a job. In the meantime, don't fret about what you CAN'T control--do the little things with what you can control to relieve at least a bit of the stress. If that doesn't work, I am a good listener and available. take care...HUGGGGGGGGGS--AA

ditto to what AA said. Basically that is what I was trying to say this morning, but too tired to articulate it the way that AA did. And I am also available if you need to talk or just know that I am here for you and with you!

One thing I've learned is never let them see you upset! That will be your downfall.

I know what you are dealing with. I am dealing with the same thing, and then some. I have an employee who makes the same amount of money as me, yet I am his manager, do a lot more work than he does, and I have to put up with the crap. I'm told nothing will be done for me. I wanted to step down, but that was not acceptable to upper management. Guess they know they won't find someone to do all of the work and do it the way I do.

I hope things get better for you!!!
 
Jen, I know we don't know eachother well, but I thought I'd share a bit of advice I got from a very good friend and therapist.

You may feel out of control, or like a leaf in the wind when you can't control things they way you'd like. The best thing to do is to do little proactive things that can make you feel in control i.e - getting your resume revised, in case you see something. Just doing something, anything, can help your perspective.

I hope this helps. Hugs to you.
 
good morning all...thanks to those who posted up late
last nite.......*hugs to all*! :)

Just when I was fine last nite, I opened my mail
while eating dinner (before watching Survivor) and
found out from my bank that my checking account
had closed------it was due to it being constantly overdrawn
for the past 1-2 months----but ya know, I have to pay
pills, you see. So I went to the bank right from work
this morning and got it straightened out, yay!

I was still crabby about work last nite but I tried to
relax, watch Nick at Nite, and surprisingly, my residents
this morning were really good and well behaved! :)

Got one more overnite tonite and then its the weekend,
yippee ya yay! :D
 
Jen, I am glad you are feeling better. You know you have a friend and admirer here and I gotcha if you need it.
