Middleaged woman with 7 cats, two horses, and SO is ISO of employment basketweaving.  Requires room and board in dirt hut with no electricity or internet. Very little experience basketweaving. No references.
Current employment in corporate America. Extreme burnout due to long hours, dysfunctional work environment, and no time to enjoy spring time and her horses.
I don't know if it's because it's spring time and I want to be outside now to ride or what, but I'm just ill at my job. Or, if it's because this has been an extremely bad week at work - I'm in a 'transitionary' position with my company between billing and systems development and both I and my cohort are really overworked this week and in a bad mood. I think we need ice cream tomorrow.
So, is anyone hiring a basketweaver? Goat Milker? I want out of the corporate world so badly right now! I have a beautiful little farm I share with the owners and no time to enjoy it...

Thank y'all!
I did take a basketweaving class a few years back, and it was great fun. I loved it, but haven't done anything else with it. This week has just been a doozy and usually if I'm grumpy my friend and cohort is cheery and vice versa. This week we've both been stressed. And, we both have some chronic health issues and haven't felt well this week.
My SO/Common law DH is on the road 5 days a week and gets home Thursday, so he got home today, but had a sleep study because we think he might have sleep apnea. At least I'm getting nice and caught up with an extra night alone...
I do make good money and I love my boss, my good friend who I work closely with, and the VP of our department who I do a lot of work for. The rest of the company... :(

I understand as well I drove 45 minutes to work. Were I taught preschool. My preschoolers were great but the staff was another story. They were rude,lied about things, and loved to throw another staff member under the bus. I was so glad when I got laid off. I was home for a year and a half . Now I work as a nanny 2 days and make more money than my job and drive 10 minutes to work.

I'm signed up to take a basket weaving class this summer. I know what you mean about "dysfunctional work environment." Dh and I are taking this weekend to "disconnect to reconnect" and refuel. Dh drives 1 hour to work every day, so the drive alone can be a complete burn out.
