Seeker,
I feel like my teaching job is horrible too right now.
First your situation. First of all, you are still grieving your mother. Americans do a horrible job of grieving. So many people think, all right so you had time off to take care of your mother and to bury her, and stupidly expect people to be over it. It doesn't work that way.
The last thing you need while you are trying to get back on your emotional feet, is a bunch of banchees! I'm sorry. I loved art class. I loved being able to create things.
I'm just stressing out over feeling forced to drive 1-3/4 hours one way over possibly treacherous roads. My boss wrote a scathing note to me last week when snow, sleet and freezing rain was being forecasted for my route.
Most of the time this man is very nice, but right now he is acting like Hitler.
