now, of all the dumb things
yesterday we were told by the administrator that we have to wear our hairnets all the way forward to cover all our hair (ie bangs) all the time. i was so upset. granted, we'll only do it on the days she's there, and she's not there every day, but still. 10 years i've never had to worry about it. i wanted to cry when i had to wear the hairnet like that for 3 hours. how will i do it for 6 hours on a somewhat regular basis? i told the cook that this might be the straw that breaks the camel's back. i tasted how that makes me feel. i can't do it. i just can't.
so again, i started thinking about where i could go and what i could do...and came up with nothing. so i was even more upset. and today i'm exhausted. i am completely emotionally drained. because of a hairnet. only me.

aww, i'm sorry! i would be upset too! i think it's like you said -- the final straw; it's not like it's the only reason you want to leave... i'll be praying! :)
thank you
try looking for a job with the twins again.
ooh! maybe the pro shop is hiring!
It would really bug me too. Maybe God is using it to get you to move out of your safety zone.
Melilot, I'm sorry your job is so crummy right now. I understand how a last straw can put you over the edge, even if by itself it wouldn't matter as much. I do think kimberly might have a good point about God using the situation to prompt you into action. What do you think about that?
i think i really really wish i knew where to look/how to go about looking for other options
call them. Ask if they (ALM) are looking for people and if they would welcome a resume even if for something in the future. Call the U of Manitoba linguistics dept. and see if they have any leads on jobs or could give you advice about where to go with it. Start doing internet research like crazy and jumping on the phone when anything looks interesting. (I know phoning can be very scary- but you can do it! Don't think about it, just do it!)
We're praying for you!
thank you! (and i noticed that you said u of manitoba, not u of minnesota ;) )
Well yes! :) We have a lot of small language groups around here. You could try the U of Minnesota too but I don't know if they're big into language preservation. :)
