I am also struggling just to make it in here. My job is so toxic right now, but I know that I am not alone, and that helps. The New York Times, for G(*&s sake had an article entitled, The Toxic Workplace. The focus was about how women with kids were edged out of competitive workplaces but for my part (no children), it is equally insane in my job in the non-profit sector. The new bosses are more unreasonable than the old ones and it's a challenge to simply arrive here.

I am really just taking one single day at a time --even trying to pace myself until ...LUNCH and then again until the time that I can credibly leave. I refuse to do any more than a "good" job at something that used to make my soul sing.

Work hangs over my head unless I make a sincere, conscious effort to do something that is so distracting that I CANNOT obsess over my job and how poisonous it has become.

Sorry for the rant....No questions or insights here, just glad I have somewhere to safely share.
