All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I APPLIED FOR A JOB!
It's middle salary point is more than $15K less than what I make now, but I have to get out of there.

Connie, seriously NICE and kudos to faux son for taking it on and delivering.
Msbelle, just remember to negotiate hardball, no matter how much you want out. No one else knows that. Know what your budget and lifestyle can take (hell, you probably know a helluva lot better than I do mine) and the promotion path.

It is for a job with a school district in the district offices.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yay for the nice windfall, Connie!
And go you, msbelle, for getting an application in. Also what sarameg said.

probably actually a little worse and more expensive than what I have now.
A HUGE issue with me looking for work is that my job pays really well for what I do and where I am, AND the benefits are really good. But I am super stressed almost all the time, there is more work than I can do well, I will never get along with the people, and there is no place to advance.

Stupid tx school districts. Just don't trade work stress for home financial stress. But applying is a good step! Done one, first hurdle.

yep. I probably need to stay in the private sector for the time being and just find a company that is a better fit for me.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Unrelated to the volunteer gig, I have to say how cool this is: for my clinical pathology proofreading job, I have an editorial from a doctor at Emory in Atlanta about how to deal with Ebola patients, in terms of all the clinical testing that has to be done (given that the specimens that are tested are also how the disease is transmitted [one sentence literally says "It is obvious these packages must be hand-carried to the department for testing. No specimens are to be sent in the pneumatic tube system."]). Pretty cool. I also feel a little bit like a ghoul for thinking it's cool, but hey.
