My job makes me ill....

Dec 14, 2010

My job is very boring.
I used to do meaningful work but that didnt pay. When I became a single parent, I had to find a job that paid the bills. Luckily, I had a friend who worked in the government and was able to not only get me in, but into a permanent position. I am not stupid; I know better than to look a gift-horse in the mouth.

What the hell does that even mean; a gift horse? What is a gift horse??

Anyways, I used to teach. I taught preschool for many years and then moved on to teaching college ....Early Childhood Education in College to be exact. I was even Department Head at one point....which *did* pay very well except that they discontinued the program due to lack of enrollment. Everyone wants to be a computer tech. Nobody wants to be a nursery school teacher.

I suppose I could go back and get my license to become a kindergarten teacher....which is what I would really LOVE LOVE LOVE to do.....but it requires a: a level of confidence I dont know if I have anymore; b: a level of courage I dont know if I have and; c: a level of money I KNOW I dont have!

So here I sit at my desk, pretending to work.....about once a month or so I come up with a report that everyone thinks is brilliance but for the most part....I sit here and check my Facebook page, research recipes and check out the OH website. I talk to my mom via email. I sign stuff.

It is the epitome of boredom. I would give anything to be back changing diapers if only it paid enough to feed my own children.
I think that was why I left actually. I had to leave my own baby in someone else's care to go and look after someone else's baby. It just didnt make sense to me!!

Now that my kids are a bit older, I would love to go back to doing what I love to do. I love the little ones. I hate budget reports.

Blah. Just having a "poor me" day becaue the weather is crappy (lots of SNOW!!!!) and I'm still sick :(
I am sure a little bit of the lemony goodness of Neo-Citran and a nap when I get home will make the world a brighter place.

Now, back to Googling cool haircuts for when (if??) my hair falls out after surgery ;)
