I think today's song also applies to some of my co-workers. I have never seen such a sorry collection of lazy, disrespectful, whiny, pathetic crybabies. One of the other assistant supervisors and I were discussing today how we have to write (type) out everything in specific detail because the workers act like such preschool children we'll just have to treat them as such. I did have a chance to 'jump ship' a few weeks back with a job opening with the Transportation Security Administration as a Security Screener at the Gulfport/Biloxi Airport, but I turned the position down. It would have been too significant of a cut in pay with not much opportunity for advancement (not like my current position has much more). The downsides of drawing out what I currently have built up in my state retirement fund along with other factors made it too much of a financially unsound choice at this point. Who knows if I would have enjoyed the job anyway? Change is good, and it's probably about time for a career change (something that's not necessarily in the social services field, although that's about all I really qualify for with my experience), but I think something else will come along that's more appealing all around. I still may look into culinary school and baking once we've finished paying off our debt and are able to move elsewhere. Maybe I'll practice this weekend and bake some bread or work on creating a sourdough starter since we're kind of back to 'normal' in our house.
