So today was a weird day for me.

It should have been the first day of school.  But it was not.  For me, anyway.  I don't know how I feel about this.

What the heck am I doing with my life, girls? :-(

  • Do you need a creepy hug too?

    Just do what makes you happy.

    How do you feel? Do you want to go back? I'm with Mana - do whatever makes you happy girrrrl.

    And because I love creepy hugs - I'm sending you one right now.

  • I'm team whatever makes you happy. I think you were at a private school before? Is there anyway you can work at a daycare in the preschool program or a public school? It seems your "happy place" is working with kids. I'd start checking all of the districts to find something if thats what you really want to do. Corporate work is satisfying, but not for everyone.Believe me, I've been there.

    I was there last year. Even though I knew I was going back in January, Sept was the weirdest time. You've seemed so much happier lately, J. While I know you're an AMAZING teacher, and you love working with children, you made the right choice. Maybe you're not done teaching and will go back next year? 
  • I'll give a creepy hug too! Maybe you'll change your mind one day? Or what about mentoring a child? I know that my friend teaches at a charter achool where they have "big brother/sisters" that are employees of the banks. They even spent the day with the kids at the flower market.

     

  • I'm sorry. I truly do think you'll teach again one day in some capacity.  what you're doing right now is so healthy for you.
  • Thanks, ladies.  And I appreciate all the creepy hugs I can get!

    I think I would like to go back.  I just don't know how easy that will be.  Sigh.

    Part of my problem right now is I have my quarterly review coming up and I'm supposed to be thinking about where I see myself in the company in the future.  And...I just don't.

    Maybe what I need to be doing is finding a job that will let me utilize my education background in a meaningful way (i.e. not training interns to do the stupid stuff I do all day).

    @mammersoh - I was at a private school and then moved to a charter school.
