Today I had an appointment with my counselor... the first one since she went on maternity leave many months ago. (November? October?)
What did we discuss? The Job. I cried more in her office today than I think I ever had before. All the feelings of powerlessness, of anger, or rage... I shared them all. I let everything out, to see if my perspective was skewed or if there really is a huge problem with my job.
There really is a huge problem with my job. I know you all told me that, but sometimes I just need to hear it repeated to me multiple times before I believe that I'm not crazy. I rarely feel that my perspective on things is valid... I just assume that I'm crazy.
So... now I'm gonna haul my exhausted butt home to see my hubby, and collage some ornaments while he makes dinner. And as soon as I get my computer fixed... (Hopefully, by Friday!) I am SO making up my resume and tossing it out all over this city.

I'm really glad you are going to take action and get away from a toxic job. There's nothing worse. Been there, done that - and I know that there is no job that is worth my health and well-being.
Best to you!
good to let it all out
even better with looking for another job
all the best with that

I've also been there done that (more than once!) Leaving a job that makes you so unhappy is very freeing! My BF Mike is in a toxic job and desparately trying to find another job!
I'm putting out some good energy for you both! :)
Good for you Jana! Sending peace your way now that I'm not sick anymore. :)

(look at all the "tammy"s here on this blog!!!) You go girl. Abuse is abuse whether it's at work or at home. You don't have to and shouldn't take that. Once out of that environment you may be surprised at how much more energy you have for life! xo with you all the way.
You are not crazy, Jana Banana. You are smart, resourceful, creative and sensitive and you deserve to have friends, love and a job that supports you and celebrates you. I believe in you and am wishing the best for you!
Jana, I'm so sorry to hear that your job situation is so bad. A nightmare job can steal your health, trust me, I know all about that. It's why I am no longer working. You deserve better my friend. I hope you escape to something much better very soon!
My heart goes out to you about the job situation it is so hard going to place for eight hours a day and being miserable. I know, I have been there as many of us have.
But look at the bright side, you have James to come home to every single night.
