Need to vent...sry

I hate my job. It's made me a more miserable person working with these kids in the city the past 3 yrs. My co-teacher and I are even at each other's throats and people are so childish. I've really gotten to know the bad side of people around here lately. It su*ks. I really really wish I could find a job on Long Island in my hometown or even somewhere close by. But then I think I should just be happy to even have a job right now, you know?

Another thing is sometimes I just hate owning a home around here. It's too expensive and not worth it. And I have too many problems with my tenants which are still not resolved! AHH!

I told FH I wanna get married and move. Get away to somewhere cheaper to live and quieter and even more suburban. I know that won't solve problems but i've just always wanted to get off of Long Island, and so does he. But I just don't know how to go about it right now cuz we have the wedding here next year. I just feel like I want to get married right now and sell my house and move. But I just don't know how to go about any of it.

Thanks for listening and sorry for the rant.

sorry you feel so stressed/frustrated. I can totally relate with hating your job. I know on one hand I should feel lucky to have a job at all with the economy this way, but its just not what I want to be doing at all. I hate it and I am way underpaid for what i do. It makes me depressed everyday to come to work...i just keep praying the economy gets better soon so there are more jobs available soon. for now i am just trying to suck it up and deal with it.

as for the house issue...if you both want to move you should def look into selling your house and looking elsewhere...i mean you can always travel back to long island for the wedding! if its just not financially feasible right now...just try to think about it like this is only temporary and in a year or 2 you can live somewhere so much better.

try not to stresss...everything will work out!

I know ur feelings about work. I really really really don't like my job and i feel like i'm wasting space here but again.. a job is a job right now.

A lot of people seem to want to move off of LI just because like u said, it's not worth the $ anymore.

I heard a rumor that the politicians and people are realizing that the younger people are moving towards the city which is opposite of what it used to be. There were talks of developments being built built only for people 40 and under who got married within the past 5 or 10 years. they wanna try to keep the younger people on LI.

thats my little :omg whats the word: ramble (brain fart there for a sec.)

aww sorry i know how you must feel. my sister is a teacher as well and it has been so hard for her to find a job on LI and she is a great teacher and has all the credentials (she eventually found something in the city). I agree living on LI is expensive. I think if it is worth it for the both of you then you should look to move elsewhere, where the cost of living is a lot cheaper (like the south)... and they are always in need of teachers most places you go! best of luck

ugh, i dont know ho you do the co-teaching thing..we learned about it, but we dont have it around here.

you should move to PA, fh and i love it here and never want to move.

and get outta the city!!!!

Sorry to hear this and I can't believe you are still having trouble with the tenants!!! FH hates Long Island and that's a huge reason why he looked for a job out of New York....hence why we are buying a home in CT. It is much more suburban here and homes are much cheaper in New Haven County (fairfield country is still super expensive)

I would wait till after your married, but definitely keep an eye out for jobs....I know I heard an advertisement for some school district in MA that needs thousands of teachers...if I hear it again, I'll let you know where.

awww work in general can really sck! If you really hate it here, it might be a good idea to try living somewhere else. i hope your job gets better for you!

thanks for talking to me about this girls it helped. i also cried to fh for awhile too lol. i think right now is not the time for us to move. we might wait til right after the wedding. if we do decide to move though it would probably be this summer and we would possibly go upstate ny cuz there are jobs up there for fh too. who knows. i just gotta make a decision about the house too. as for my job, i gotta finish out the year. this is my tenure year and it would be a waste to leave. i just dont like myself sometimes cuz of what the circumstances there have done to my personality. just gotta keep looking elsewhere. ill bust my butt looking for jobs and possibly houses once it gets closer to the summer

I know how you feel with work. Last year I taught in the south Bronx and it was awful. The kids were mean, the principal was rude, mean, among other things I will not say on here and the commute was awful. I turned into a b!tch and poor FH....I treated him horribly because of what I dealt with all day. I got a job teaching out here on the island and I love it. I'm so much happier and FH says he's glad I'm back to the way that I used to be. We also want to move off LI, just haven't decided where yet. Kind of torn between PA and CT.

Just hang in there, get that tenure, and see where it goes from there.
