I can't tell. Sometimes I am regretting that I did not choose a different career path, but now I am really in deep. I am up to living wage range, but a lot of organizations don't pay as well as my district so I feel a little stuck here. And then I just want to totally change to accounting. I wish I had stayed up on my math skills over the years. I am thinking about taking statistic classes.
It may be that another assistant quit and the Monday after that one staff told me she was in a serious car accident. She has been out 3 weeks.After our dinner out to wish my assistant farewell she went to another bar, kept drinking, got a DUI and a bad accident. A new staff started and she is great but also work to get her trained in the last 6 weeks. I had to cover morning program AGAIN, which leads to a 12 hour day generally, and without an assistant I basically am in my office alone for 6+ hours until the afternoon program. I keep trying to have a social life, and then when I have a few weeks like I have had I just go home and take a nap before making dinner. I guess that can happen in any career, and I am really good at what I do.
