Thank you for your reply. It does help! I may have to move on to another job. This one just bores me to death and I don't feel I am getting enough out for the amount I put in. That is, more flack than it is worth. And yes- you're definitely right- I'm a warm body to fill a spot and that's it. I have no idea how some of those people can have worked 18 years there!

The good news is, tomorrow is a holiday and my kids and I have the day to ourselves. Plus I spent the evening with my boyfriend and that was nice. Tired now.... hoping to get some good sleep tonight!
