I am wanting to leave this job NOW! I've been very unhappy here for the last year and a half but this is getting rediculous. I just wish I had went to school for something other than early childhood ed. Now at 49, I am making less than some at the mall. REALLY? Going to try to go back to school and see if there is SOMETHING I am good at besides education. Meantime, I am exhausted from working my 2 jobs, dog sitting, babysitting, etc... just trying to make ends meet. The worst is watching my mother sell some of her jewelry, not getting her nails done anymore, etc. These were suppose to be her golden years. Now she may have to find a job...again... at 72. Makes me sad and I feel helpless. I know I'm not the only one, I am lucky to have any job at all..... but we are still not making it.

sigh.... I need and !
