Does anyone else have a really stressful job?

Question

I am a school administrator and work right now is... no joke. Anyone else work in a high-stress environment? How do you cope in balancing work with your LO?

Answer

I taught for 13 years and have my admin license but never took the leap because I was afraid of the stress under “normal” conditions! I have been thinking endlessly about school administrators lately and all of the no-win decisions you have to make! Thank you for all you do for your community and your district! Good luck to you!!

Teacher here.. I’m about to find out just how stressful work will be pretty soon. Heading to the classroom over the next few weeks before things are 100% back to work. Absolutely cringing at the thought of teaching a new grade, with a new team, during a pandemic and with a high risk “runner” student this year. And being a mom with a difficult toddler. I keep wondering how the hell I’m  going to balance it all 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m just trying to get my ducks in a row earlier rather than later so the stress doesn’t consume me. Being prepared makes a big difference. Hard to be prepared when entering the unknown though.. Good luck!!

Answer

Yes!!!!!! My department went from 3 ppl to just me. My co-worker went on medical leave in January and my former boss retired in March. I work in Radio. My job is very demanding, time oriented deadlines and lots of conference calls, system changes which require training and all while juggling my 1 year old. Many ppl at my job were furloughed also. My husband doesn’t even know how I do it. He works in healthcare so he’s working late some days and Saturdays. I NEVER GET A BREAK!! I eat standing up, hardly ever get to take a walk outside. I feel bad for my baby whose stuck in the house with me all day long. My husband is amazing though and after he’s working so hard with patients he comes home and takes over to let me shower, eat and relax. We are walking Zombies 😆

Answer

Yes- dental assistant- been in office since June - things are crazy. Wearing two masks all day is no joke , and the added measures for screening, etc takes so much time I’m exhausted . It’s been a mad house trying to schedule patients that we had to cancel for months, also emergencies on top of it all
