Running a kindergarten for CPS kids has got to be one of the higer-stress things in the world. In your shoes, I would be wanting to bring a gun to work in order to simplify the custodial issues.<BR/><BR/>Honest to gosh, closing your eyes and slowly counting to ten does help. If there is an image that comforts you and brings you peace, then visualize it. Otherwise, big breath in, big sigh out, and think of still white peace. Repeat. If you do this in front of the aggrevating jerk that is pulling all your chains, it powerfully unsettles them.<BR/><BR/>Again, I humbly apologize for coming off so righteous. I am, so often, a fool.roxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14916948065233137971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23114430.post-1160767219882771202006-10-13T12:20:00.000-07:002006-10-13T12:20:00.000-07:00How was the game?

Sometimes 3. <BR/>And I deal with the DUMBEST people out there. Working for CPS, I have to work with parents who use drugs, molest children, hit childred, have mental health issues, and refuse to address any of the above issues. Oh, and keep having more and more babies. <BR/>I also get the joy of their attorneys, the Judges, service providers, the relatives, and their friends.<BR/>Sooooo, I can't really relate to the no-nutted man, but boy can I relate to starting with a good attitude and leaving wondering what the hell is happening~<BR/>(0:<BR/>And did I mention I love my job most days?!?

I swear, that's why I write during work...the little bastards don't shut up? Screw 'em...I'm going to take a mini-vacation while they're working on grammar which I assigned out of spite. (Not true, actually--if I could avoid it I would, but it makes me feel better that they hate it sometimes.) Anyway, like I said, I'm the last person to advise you on prickweenies--I'm the poster child for what NOT to do...I'd probably be saying sarcastic things right now that would piss them off and increase my chances for promotion from .5 to .25 of a tenth of a percent. (See--toldya I couldn't do math!) Anyway--knit away...and buck up...I once accidentally breached my school firewall by looking for Erma Bombeck--she did an article on how all great men looked like shriveled frogs in the jacuzzi, and it was adopted by a (get this!) Christians for non-monogamous lifestyles and nudity site. Almost singed my eyebrow hair off, and you've probably guessed I'm not squeamish... maybe you'll have the same sort of luck.Amy Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885706951931450373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23114430.post-1160754634703052812006-10-13T08:50:00.000-07:002006-10-13T08:50:00.000-07:00Ok, I'd never heard of Etsy before.

However, as an executive here, I would hope that on the 15 mintues I manage to choke down my lunch, I could check a blog or two. My frustration comes from *trying* to provide good service despite the jerks who fight me at every turn. While caring for a baby is no easy task, as far as I'm concerned I already run a kindergarten... I'm glad you are able to avoid stress, I wish it were that easy for some of us.Yeah Sohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03989848317356232631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23114430.post-1160746329225843322006-10-13T06:32:00.000-07:002006-10-13T06:32:00.000-07:00Outlets for stress - I try to avoid stress.

I'm there to help the customers, no matter how slow they are on the uptake. My boss doesn't pay me to surf the net or chat with my pals. I am paid to help the folks who need things explained, slowly, in little words. And if I can do it kindly, and with genuine care, the stress goes away. You are gonna have to have yards and miles of patience and tolerance with that baby.
