I'm so very sorry to hear that things just aren't going in your favor right now especially at work. I've lost track of how many times people have said to leave work problems at the office and don't bring them home. Right... when our daily lives depend on our jobs that's easier said than done. I'm a child support specialist for the State of New Jersey going on 24 years now. For several years I was stuck in a job that I absolutely detested beyond any description. I became convinced that I'd be stuck in that unit forever with no chance of ever getting out. One morning my supervisor called me in to her office, we've been friends for years. Our attorney was told she was getting a position for a paralegal, went to the assistant director and specifically said she wanted me for the position. At first the assistant director said no but Amy (attorney) and Helene (supervisor) met with her about it. So now I'm in the job of my dreams! Good things do happen though sometimes it feels like we have to wait much too long. I believe in you, Kirsten. You're a very intelligent and talented woman. Something good is out there for you and I pray that your dream job will come along just as mine did. Meanwhile you have Luna & Lily to help you stay glued together. Your post is far from pointless, we can't help you if we don't know you need us. That's what your PT friends are for! Try to hang tough and count on your friends!!! I'm here for you.....
