i work 7am to 3pm right now so i can pick up my kids after school. but i may switch it to 8am to 4pm, now that they are old enough to walk to school and back on their own. so not sure if that would make a big difference.
as for the supervisor unfortnately she has had so many people complain about her lack of people skills yet she is still there because she knows her stuff. the only way to get away from her is to get another position within the company which right now is hard to do.
so i am stuck where i am for now, i did email her today about being compared to other's and she bascially has an answer for everything, she looked up job performance and one of things you are measured against is your work compared to peers :P
so i just have to challenge myself and get my numbers back up NOT FOR HER BUT FOR MYSELF... ...
anyways thanks everyone for the replies, in the end i am still grateful to have a job that helps pay the mortgage and the bills and feed the kiddies etc etc....it could be worse right !!

It's good that you aren't tied down to a desk! I worked for a short time in a call center and hated it! This was a long time ago and I was able to move to different position, with a pay cut, to a job that was more suited to me. Anyway -- I moved on from that company a long time ago.
Grounding is a Mindfulness technique that is meant to bring you back into the here and now. It is often used to help those who are having anxiety attacks or are dissociating, but I believe I've read that it can be used to help with focus. It really just makes you concentrate on the here and now and break away from distracting thoughts or memories. It helps you relax. I've read some pretty good articles on it. I will see if I can find them and send you a PM with the link. There are also some posts about grounding on the forum that came up with a quick search.
