Okay.. so everyone hates the Chinese products and "goons and thugs" identities are basically true.. The one good thing about working in China is that YOU get to tell these fuckers to FUCK OFF !! The companies have no power to control the Americans working here... We can simply go back to the most powerful and greatest country in the world and they are stuck in this shit hole. These people will wine and dine you till your fat as a horse without any cost to you..The woman are eager to please and WOW !

Today I had the vast displeasure of being in the same time zone of a hostile parent. I attended a zonal sports meet with the rest of my staff and school at a local stadium today, something that I could have and should have skipped altogether. The new principal had the bright idea of inviting parents who had time to travel with the group and attend, something that is not usually done, btw.

Well, today was a banner day for me whoo-hoo!! First of all my students were insane because it rained and we had to travel through outdoor breezeways. They screamed and stomped in every puddle they saw. My ears are still ringing and its after midnight.

I am an elementary school teacher in the deep south. I teach in a miserable, oppressive inner-city school. Basically, I am in total hell! I don't know how much longer I can endure teaching. I am so stuck....I wanna cry! The only reason I am still teaching is because I have 3 young children; two of which attend a "good" school outside our own district. They are allowed to do so BECAUSE I am a teacher. I am really just allowing myself to be abused and tormented so that they will get a good education. Sad huh? I literally want to cry every morning when my alarm goes off and I have to force myself to get out of bed. When I get to school I feel like I am in prison. It is so bad I have to take anti-depressants and nerve pills just to get through the day. Some of the kids in my class are so vile that I could drop kick them into the next parish! They have severe behavioral problems and their parents(for lack of a better term) use the public school system as a free daycare center. The administration is terrible as well. What is it about zero people skills and public school administration? They have to be the most hateful, useless pieces of shit that I know. They find the most inconsequential bullshit to nit-pick about. HELP I AM DYING!!!!!

As I proceed to the last 20 weeks of this God forsaken school year....I have yet another gripe..

My boss, who was raised in the US of A...cannot use the past or the future tense correctly in a sentence...example

"I am going to the board yesterday"

" We should do that thing about yesterday...tommorrow..."

By nature, I am not a violent person..but I would like to beat this person to death with a dictionary...

I could imagine CSI coming in...taking the photos of the body, examining the pages that had fluttered about the room
in the course of the grisly attack...

The other VP breathes like Darth Vadar...now that is annoying during a conversation...I am continually looking around for my Wookie and wondering when I should warm up the Milennium Falcon...

Hello,
Well, here I am. I typed in "I hate my job" and found this site. This is great and I thank you for this...I'm a little paranoid about being recognized by a coworker, cause frankly, everyone of them has reason to be here, but....this is a great venting outlet. My friends and family won't say it but I bet they're sick of hearing about this. So, maybe venting online will be helpful. I'm so stressed out by all this I'm sick...and I'm eating WAY too much! (food=comfort)

Someone said (my friend attributes it to Oprah) that life kicks you in the head when things have to change, and if you ignore it, it comes back and kicks you again, only harder...well, I think I'm on my third kick and I'm starting to get the message.

The old adage states that to teach is to learn twice. However, whomever coined the phrase probably didn't work in a position like mine. Before I went to training college, I had quite a few skills that I'd taught myself. I could use a variety of graphics programs from Micrographix to Photoshop, all of which I'd taught myself, I wrote stories online that made me proud and gave me a feeling of accomplishment and not just because they got great reviews, I could carry a tune, I could learn anything I put my mind to, I had limitless potential.

And then, two contracted years of pointless, thankless, nerve-racking, senseless "study" for a job that I hated anyway.

Well, I finally quit a job that I pretty much only took for the benefits and retirement pay...you know the education system...

Well, little did i know that my direct supervisor was a wack job! Literally! I find out the first week I am like the 15 asst. she's had in 10 years. One Japanese asst. stayed with her 6 yrs....gosh those Japanese women are good...how can they put up with this stupid woman! I know she wasn't happy there either.

Well..so I pretty much knew i was going to have to quit. During my 3 month there...a trade show was just fucking ridiculous! I worked with these two womena late 50s early 60s...talk about cranky bitches! I mean I was soooo pissed off that I was being treated so badly! Here i am in my late 30s and i gotta put up with a couple of old, cranky bitches!

I wish I had a job to hate.

Let me explain how I got here.....

When I was 18, very young, sheltered, and naive, I decided to major in Elementary Education and English. I got a job out of college and taught for 5 years. Each year I found it more stressful and unsatisfying, and everyone says if you don't like what you're doing, find something else to do.

So....at the end of my 5th year I took a course in Central Office Installation in the Telecommunications field. The work was enjoyable and the pay was good, but the industry came to a complete stand-still around 2000, and I could not get back in. Yes, I tried. Very diligently and determinedly. Also, I'm not one who thinks the world is against me because I'm female, but in that industry, I sometimes wondered. All the other women I worked with were either someone's wife or girlfriend who was already working there.

These headaches are becoming chronic. Hypochristian Ultra has it out for me big-time, because I don't want to be her "friend". I'm sorry HU, but I'm not so short on friends that I need frienemies. No thank you, we don't want any. So stop throwing words over the blackboard at me, don't come into my class for any reason and for the love of God forget that I ever existed, ok?

It's bad enough that I went on strike with the union for a pay increase and got a lousy 15% for my trouble. But guess what? 15% of nothing is still frigging nothing! Wow, I got a lousy $625 increase in an economy where it takes $1000 to buy decent groceries for the month. Wowsy-woo-woo. While the fatcat administrators who already earn about $12000 a piece also get a 15% increase, thanks to us little people. Think of me when you upgrade to a more expensive car and a younger wife you fuckwad douchebags.

Ugh. Sigh. Ugh.

I'm not sure if anyone is reading these infrequent blog postings, but damn, they make me feel better. And reading everyone else's helps put my own woes in very clear perspective.

Anyway...work has been sucking a lot, mostly since last Friday. I took yesterday off, kind of a mental health day, although my stomach wasn't feeling wonderful, either.

So, sparing you the gory details, I fucked something up at work. My boss is pissed and she has a right to be - I made a horrible judgment call and am willing to deal with the consequences (though I suppose that goes without saying, otherwise I'd report that I had quit). What bothers me, however, is that when I make such mistakes it sets my boss off into a plague of suspicion and she starts to act as though everything I've ever done has been entirely wrong and am no longer trustworthy regarding anything at all. I certainly earned her wrath, but I'm thinking that the punishment does not quite squarely fit the crime. In the last few days, I've received highly detailed emails about tasks I've been doing well all along - it makes me feel utterly incompetent. There isn't much I can do about this. I'm laying low, working hard and being extra diligent about...everything.

I have a headache. I have a headache because of my job. I am sick and tired of my backstabbing, smelly coworkers and their incessant nitpicking. They talk about each other behind their backs constantly. I've been aware of the fact that they talk about me (who they know nothing about)from the beginning. Another teacher tried to warn me yesterday that they were bitching because I came late and it was my turn to say prayers and have morning assembly with the kids in the morning. I appreciate her effort, but I already know. If they back-stab each other then why wouldn't they let me have it too? They all drive to work. I have to take lousy country taxis that don't bother to warn me when they turn off the main road to drop another passenger in some off-course dirt track, lengthening the time it takes for me to get to the school and sometimes making me late even when I leave the house on time.

I have 36 more weeks in this job- then I can move one-

I feel horrible, but my students are six grades below level- I just don't have it in me-

I love how there are all of these emotional movies featuring these inspirational people that can make the lame walk, etc.

If AA invented a slogan- I am borrowing it now- one day at a time- take it easy- whatever...

I'm on my third week of vacation and I just find myself dreading my return to the workplace. It SUCKS. And here's why:

1. The principal and the senior teacher are SISTERS.
2. They hate me, as a matter of fact, they just hate anyone that's female, moderately good-looking, young and smart so that includes the clerk and the other young teacher.
3. My salary is less than $688 USD a month, out of which I pay off a bank loan and third in rent.
4. The twister-sisters have a habit of trying to bully the young staff members out of vacation days. For example just days before the vacation started they called the clerk on her day off and DEMANDED she come back to work because they couldn't figure out which key on the main ring opened her office. The principal even put her sister on the phone to inform the absent clerk that SHE saw her in taxi that morning and therefore she knew she was in the area.
