Teh Suckz Thread

Work pressure has been intense lately. I was really working two jobs in one since September and it was just too much. I am SO tired. I won't go into details but I was really happy when this week all of that was over... and then I got a call if I could please come in to work tomorrow. As I can't say no, I said yes with a very happy voice as if nothing's wrong.

Luckily, I have a lovely colleague that called me back because she was worried. I broke down and pretty much cried for 40 minutes because I'm so tired. She cancelled the temp request so that I can have my much needed day off tomorrow. I'm so grateful. I just hate the fact that I broke down in tears AGAIN when another colleague called me minutes later to talk about something completely different...

We all have our breaking point. I had a minor one a couple weeks ago, I just wanted to go home and either cry or tear out my hair. This IB/MYP curriculum stuff is WAAAAYYYYY too much work when you teach nearly EVERYONE in the school k-12. I was walking out in the parking lot with a fellow teacher, she could tell I was just at my wits end, she told me to go home and cuddle with my cats and forget about everything for a night. I picked up some 'comfort food' on the way home that I generally don't get, and cuddled the cats and just didn't think about school for the evening and the next day was a lot better.

Hang in there!!!! And enjoy your day off!

@evelien. i can feel for you. my boss was off on medical leave for 12 weeks. i not only did my job but hers as well. by the end of the 12 weeks i was in trouble the headaches were back (they thought i might be close to having a relapse and that could have meant losing my vision) and my blood pressure and asthma was out of control. my doc was ready to pull me. then my boss came back and i took two weeks off and i'm in much better shape. headaches are pretty much gone and the other is going in the right direction. just make sure you take care of yourself or it can really affect you physically as well as emotionally.

My grandfather is going to pass away today or tomorrow.

This comes only a few weeks after my step-grandfather, who may as well have been a grandfather, passed away of Parkinson related stuff.

It's a lot to take right now.

I'm sorry. (HUG)

Katana803, it's already affecting me physically. My breathing is bad and I've been ill three times in two months. I am never ill!!

It's almost 8am now and I should be sleeping in, enjoying my day off, but due to a mistake somewhere I was called in to work again around 7am. I had no problems at all saying no but now I am wide awake.

I hope everyone's okay in this thread

My suck is much smaller than that. It's just an annoyance. Every school in my area is closed or delayed because it's horrible out driving except the school system I work for. All uphill all the way, and I already said I'd come in yesterday. I need the money but ugh. My father's driving me in the hopes that his truck will get there better than my car.

Also annoying: the school system he works for keeps calling me to come in to work as well. Might I mention that they closed an hour ago?
