[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 708178, member: 1963"] I didn't say you weren't doing a good job, nor did I mean to imply that. I'm sorry you took it that way. I just see you cutting your self down and comparing yourself to your supervisor based on differences in appearances. You seem to be assuming she is getting away with things/you are being picked on because she is "prettier/sexier" than you are. It's real hot-button for me when women seem to think that way. I'm just saying, focus on the good job you are doing and try to ignore the rest of the BS. In the meantime, try to learn what you can to both better your chances of transferring to another school, or getting a job in a different environment entirely. I know you've said before that you had trouble learning MS Office. I haven't used it in years as I use a freeware knockoff of it, but if my mother can figure out a smartphone in her 80's... (not without driving me nuts)... The big issue is with the phone phobia. I think, with your personality, you'd be really good at customer service. What about working at a customer service desk? Could counseling help with the phone issues? What about taking Spanish classes? I've thought about doing it because frankly, German isn't a going thing in my neck of the woods. And because it'd be fun to know language I could actually use. You could also meet with a career counselor and try to figure out what you'd be happiest doing and what you need to do to get that skillset. That would probably be available at your local Job Services center. Just some ideas...and if you go through Job Services, it's free. [/QUOTE]
