Before I disappeared a while back I was trying to decide whether to leave my job or to just stick it out. Well they ended up making the decision for me. Without going into every detail they decided that my service level was not up to par. They use the fact that my depression was cycling and that I had mentioned that I was getting burned out and was going to look for another career field.

Because of this decision they put me on a 30 probation period and said if I did not pull my performance together they would terminate me or because of my 7 years of faithful service they would let me resign effective immediately.

Well at the end of the 30 days needless to say I turned in my resignation. I knew pretty much from the get go that they were not giving me my classroom back. they said they were doing me a favor because they thought I was a "time bomb" ready to go off and they wanted me to go out on top and not by being dismassed because I had abused a child. That really pissed me off. I would walk out of a room before I would touch a child inappropriately. Any way I am digressing.

So now I am in the big job hunt. Trying to get out of childcare and into clerical and reception. But..............no one wants to hire you unless you have experiance and if no one will hire you how do you get experiance. visicious vicious circle.

I have a list of about 10 sites that I check everyday.

You know, I forgot to tell you why I way gone for so long. A week before my job gave me their ultimatium my computer crashed and burned and it took several weeks for a friend to wipe it clean and reinstall everything.

Sorry this was so long. It doesn't take long to type a mini novella
