[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 699105, member: 1550"] Copas post was brilliant. There is no problem with her post, but there IS a problem if we don't enjoy our jobs. The fact is we spend more time at work, if we are full time, than we did in school as kids. If we are nervous at work, we are nervous seven or eight hours a day, five days a week. I did not have much luck with jobs myself, but I did come up with a few suggestions. Can you maybe look for another job in your school district? My friend is a para for hard to teach kids. She does not have a college degree but was hired and is now there almost twenty years. There are other school related jobs too. Would you not have an advantage since you are already there? Another option is to take a class online to further your education and then look, on days off, for another type of job that you have learned how to do. Yes, it takes some time, but if you don't like your job, it gives you something to look forward to. Or you can just look for a different job. Send out resumes. There are other jobs that pay whatever you get. Can you relocate? I know your mom is controlling, but is there any way you could sit with her and see if you can pay her back later? Does she know what this job is doing to you? Would she have some compassion for her daughter? I think Cop a made great points. Who cares what the losers you work with think? We shouldn't and some people don't. I am very sensitive and have walked out on jobs that made me feel unwelcome, but I was married...There was another income. And my first husband would scream at me when I did that. I truly feel the pain of your dilemma. I hope somebody here said something that helps you. I feel for you about this job. It is horrible how badly our employers are allowed to treat us...I do not believe they can do this in other countries. If you are in a Union try talking to them. Sadly, those I know who did didn't get help, but you don't know unless you try Many, many hugs. How is your dear little boy doing? Now there is a blessing. [/QUOTE]
