Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Anna- it's very true. These children appear to be growing on trees. Or instead of trees. Either way, there are WAAAY too many of them. Well, actually, the kids aren't half bad. The parents on the other hand.... So, I know others have mentioned this before, but a lot of people I work with are very unhealthy. It's incredibly difficult to stick to my guns while I'm at work for a couple of different reasons: 1. The office always has food in it- people bring treats quite frequently. 2. The job is stressful. And I am an emotional eater (there! i said it!) 3. The schedule is hectic. I can plan exactly what/when I am going to eat, and have it all blown in an instant because we got a new referral, or a kid is disrupting from their placement, or running away, or because someone is in the hospital, or because someone is in jail...... Any suggestions on how I can be healthier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I've thought of that! The problem is that my current job pays about 8000 dollars more than every other social work position in the area. ______________________________\ ____ Looking for a deal?

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 How about event planning?

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 so's prostitution....but she may not want to do that!... i find most social workers to be extremely altruistic people...self sacrificing to the extreme...somehow event planning doesnt strike me as very much in line with that... i could be wrong... anna On 6/16/07, Elchanan <Elchanan wrote: > How about event planning?

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Actually, I have plans to go back to school to become a physician's assistant.....the problem is that right now, my husband is finishing school, and we are living on my income alone. Oh, and the PA program here makes it virtually impossible to work while you're going to school. He graduates in December, so I can start in the Spring....but.....it's hard to wait! -k ______________________________\ ____ Luggage? GPS? Comic books?
