I worked a job I loved for 9 years.. not only was it my hobby before becoming a professional, it nailed my interests dead on. The morning I woke up and didn't want to go to work was the start of the last time I worked that job - either professionally or as a hobby. I went from loving what I did (looking forward to getting back to work the next day) to just having no desire to ever do it again.. I took a job with my family's business and never looked back. Do I "love" my job? No, but it is incredibly tolerable and some days even satisfying, and I make good money doing it. I have found more often than not that how I feel about work is more reflective of the other stuff going on in my life (or rather the satisfaction level of my life outside the office) than it is about the job itself. Sometimes jobs just suck, but sometimes a job sucks because everything about life sucks and it just needs to follow along with the suckage. Sorry you are having a bad week. I could relate my week to you but frankly it doesn't matter, and despite all the crap I somehow managed to maintain a positive outlook on it all. |

It's not within the realm of things that I'll allow to happen (despite tolerating all kinds of other crazy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- ) I regretfully made a comment along the lines of "well I guess I'll see what my take home pay is now". It has me worried that he's going to reduce my withholding to make my take home pay larger in hopes of tricking me into thinking I got a good raise. ::) I didn't ask for and wasn't expecting a raise. I'm burnt out. Money don't fix burnout. It might make you tolerate it longer, but that's it. |

I also work in public education. I just checked my retirement statement and I am eligible for retirement in 2040. :laugh2: |

That gives me an extra 6 points toward my years of service, meaning I can retire at age 50. |

The 66 locations with 5000 phones I maintain crashed Monday afternoon. No phones, no voice mail, no attendant consoles, no call recording, no current backups. I almost cried, LOL. And, Hans Gruber is dead! It has been a crappy week. |
