I pray that you will be safe from now on. <br /><br />It is difficult to work when you do not feel safe, but it will be a loss for your clients.<br /><br />I imagine that you will bring much joy to the office and a new safe place to work will help keep you safe, my friend.<br /><br />Be safe, and be happy.<br />PamFinding Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671978828279304904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-31368488377949290372010-01-29T00:11:38.974-05:002010-01-29T00:11:38.974-05:00Day jobs aren't really so bad, if you can enjo...Day jobs aren't really so bad, if you can enjoy what your doing.

It saddens me, though, that the system can be so screwed up as to put you in such a place. I truly believe the old saw that God works in mysterious ways, and I've been around the block enough times to see it's true.

How may years have you been taking late shifts, night shifts? Many a good office job came about just for the day job status.

You can still be a blessing and still do a good job.<br />Heck, I'm thinking about going back to school. I sure can't do this for the next 10-15 years.<br />And seriously??? Why can't people just behave themselves? Is that soooooo much to ask--to keep the crazy to a whisper while I'm around? I think not.<br />Now that I think about it, you probably want to work on inventing the Vit. H/Valium room freshener with us.

You don't have a choice.<br /><br />I hope you can make the best of a job that isn't perfect for you - and who knows you are probably doing as much good in the office as you would be on home visits.<br /><br />Think about it.
