I've been having a rough few days at work and I know we all have them. On my last paycheck I got 5 hours of overtime! Now most people would say thats great. You should be happy to get that kind of money. Trust me, I am. But at the same time in the past 2 months I have gotten at least 2-3 hours of overtime on each check, which means I'm getting lots of ot. I'm driving myself to an early death. I work 9 sometimes 10 hour days and have a half hour commute both ways. Which just adds to the stress. On top of all of that I have to keep preparing for projects at school, which eat into more of me time when I get home. I haven't worked out like I normally do since I'm just too tired. When I get home at night I'm exhausted and just want to spend the remaining 2 hours I have to watch tv. I try to get up earlier in the morning, but I choose sleep over it. I haven't been eating healthy either. I'm getting burned out and stressed out. I like working with children, but is it worth my health and sanity? I think Jillian said it well, why not you to deserve something better in any area of your life? And maybe now more than ever its time to let go of working in daycares and start something completely new.
I talked to the boy last night about it and he suggests looking into a degree related field. Or at least finding something that is not working with kids. And maybe then I can be happy working a normal 8-5 job without the extra stuff. So the new job search begins and I will keep you posted.
So why not you?
Peace&Love
