Anybody else loathe their job?

[Nebraskacountrygirl]

I hate my job for several reasons, but I can't get a job anywhere else right now. Nationwide is NOT on your side if you work there!

1. Repetitive work, the same shit everyday
2. Occurance policy. I'm a single mom of 2 kids, they've been sick a lot and I can no longer take any time off without getting fired to care for them.
3. The people I work with are immature children.

Like I said, I don't have any other choice right now so I have to grin and bear it.

KATG has saved me on more than one occasion at work also.

Aren't you able to take family leave (Family Medical Leave Act)? If your children require the care that you need to be home for, you should be able to. Look into it - you might.

They won't let me if it's not a constant sickness for my company. If they have something that they are going in once a week, then yes. But it's every other week for each kid and it's always something like a throat infection or strep. 2 weeks ago my son had this throat infection that he had a fever of 102 for 2 days. Then my daughter had a fever of 102 yesterday and it skyrocketed to 104 today. I had to leave work b/c thier father can't take off work. THEN I had to go back to work and leave my daughter with my mom. I couldn't be the mom I wanted to be. Bastards!

My only issue is being able to let things go when I don't have a good day.

Today was mostly good, except I realized right before going home I sent something out wrong, and now have to embarrassingly do it again right tomorrow. I hate the feeling of the last thing I did having been a fuckup.

my job pretty much sucks, i've been doing it for 9 years now. I have 3 more classes until I have my MSW then hopefully I can find better employment. I'm going through a bunch of crap with my company right now which totally sucks.
