Slaying my debts, the second year

sammy115

Maybe I can! I have just come out of two jobs with absolute nightmare bosses, the last one I had said the wrong thing to me one day and instead of rising to it I picked my bag up walked out of the door and never went back. I got a job the next day! I know teaching is different - you can't walk out of one and into another but.....you have to learn coping tactics.......you spend a lot of your life in your job and to not be happy is draining and confidence sapping...

And I think having 'homicidal' feelings for your boss is very healthy!!

Amyand Jon , I wish your brother luck, I teach older kids - who are lovely, it is never the kids that are a problem you can learn to handle them the bosses are the problem. Good luck with the leaflet dropping xx

Sammy when I worked on Supply I loved it cos you could walk out and not worry , but I can't go back to that due to debts, one week without work and I would be in serious trouble it is still very tempting however!

right i have got to get on! only came on here to check my list for today!

been here ages!

Buffy I think you live in a very toxic environment
- you don't like living at home, because of your sister
- you don't like your job cos your boss is a to**er
- you don't like driving because??????

Do you see that this can be a vicious, sapping circle which will affect your body. I am surprised this has only just started to happen if you have been under such stress for any length of time.

The reason I am pointing out the obvious is so that you can go back to this post any time you are wavering on doing your 4 things a day, and remember why you are doing 4 things a day!!!

ps I am really quite proud of myself today, as I managed to make home made soup this week that was edible, I have done a roast today and straight after put the bones on to boil for stock - no waste, AND I have managed to some MORE unpacking! This getting organised must be catching or something!

Hi, brother in his second year of teaching older kids he does science and hes done pretty well with his results so he is happy... also i thought id let you know he tutors might be something you want to think about he gets 20 pound an hour.... depending on the area i mean he does alsorts might be something you want to do to make that extra cash ..... good luck with your day im hoping it stays nice the rain will put me straight off delivering hehehehehe xx

Amyandjon - I start a tutoring job week after next, two nights a week! that is going to be my monthly spending money and everything else goes on the debts!

Chev! hello! and yes I will read that post every time I feel like giving up and not doing my four things

I really think - on the organising front, getting the new furniture has helped massively. everything is laid out as I need it. I mean I am a bit disappointed with the desk - its a good size but the material its made from is going to mark really easily, must use coasters at all times!! but everything else is fab, almost better then I hoped for. it was worth spending the money.

You have just moved in to your new house haven't you Chev? good luck with the unpacking, its semi satisifying - oooo I have unpacked = less boxes nice house mixed with why did I pack that? am I going to use that? what is that? where is the other one?

Not a good day. Came up stairs to find one of my pet rats in serious distress. had to take him to the emergency vet to be put to sleep.

am gutted.

I know people will think rats are disgusting etc but he was lovely.
