a major NSV for me

I almost got fired from my last job because of stupid politics and I've been unemployed for almost 3 months now. I've been getting unemployment but I looked at my finances today and I realized that the unemployment money just isn't going to cover it too much longer. Now, I've been applying for jobs all over the place since I resigned and have only had 2 interviews . . .

Today I realized that I'm going to have to go back to my old job. It's a horrible place,a Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility, working with kids. I have a masters degree in counseling and even though this job is working in the type of atmosphere I want, it isn't the job I want. I'm a glorified baby-sitter. I follow the kids around all day and make sure they don't do inappropriate stuff. I've been stabbed (well, only with a plastic fork), bitten, punched, spit on . . . I've had shoes and trashcans and dressers and chairs thrown at me. I HATE THAT PLACE.

But. When I found out today that they'd love to have me back -- go me -- I cried. But I DID NOT binge. When I am depressed, I eat. But not today. I let myself cry and I stayed away from the kitchen because I knew if I was in there all I would do was eat eat eat eat eateateateat. But I didn't.

And that's a sad NSV, but a big one.
