MIA

Yes, for the past few weeks I’ve been MIA. And somehow I feel that I have been MIA in my own life. Last week I looked myself in the mirror and said "I am not a social worker."  And that’s not fair. Its not fair to myself or to those I’m supposed to be serving.  I’m tired of dealing with other people’s problems.  I feel guilty that i’m sick of them. I’ve never really felt that way about people before.  I think I need to just get out of the field. Really.  I’m working on my resume today and shooting them around.  The difficult part of switching over is that i’ve been doing social work for the last three years.  All of my communications ties have kinda died out….I’m not sure how that will work. Wish me luck.

Good luck! I have a very good friend who was a social worker in North Carolina for several years, he got burned out too.

Never too late to find something new. If you’re not happy, get out.
