Life is Frustrating

So ends my first week of actual work at this job I've taken. Honestly, there's not really enough to do to keep me busy. I don't like that because it makes the day creep by. Hopefully, we'll take people out tonight and it will eat up some of the time. Then again, taking them out could be a bad experience...

I'm feeling tired. I'm also feeling more than a little sad because of the quality of care for people who have any kind of disability. People who are overqualified end up moving on to other jobs. So, what's left? People who are there to get a paycheck and don't really care about the people. I shadowed people for the first 3 days of this week. I have to say that my training was not very good on that front. It's horrible! And it makes me guilty for wanting to jump ship as soon as I possibly can.

There's a job opening where my parents live. I'm hoping to score that job, but I'm definitely not feeling very optimistic. I haven't had much luck so far. I've begun wondering if the fact that I don't have a Master's Degree has anything to do with it. I've been not qualified for two positions because I don't have a Master's degree. The longer it takes to find a job as a teacher, the more discouraged I'm going to end up. It really sucks.

Anyway. Have to go do other stuff so that I don't keep thinking about how much I want the job that I am trained for, the job that I am good at. It's cold in the apartment, so I'm going to go snuggle back up under the covers and read! Sounds like a good alternative to stressing about a job that I don't even have an interview for. Yet.
