I can't seem to do anything right
and it's really wearing me out, more than you can probably imagine.

1. Well, it IS okay to take a break from those activities at times...

Wait a minute, you are serious?! :wow: I often feel the same way as you do. But keep going, we will survive. :hug:

3. Unfortunately, this is mostly work
I'm not cut out for this but I'm too old and too far in debt to change careers. But trust me, I'm crashing and burning right now.

4. I edited my previous response just before I saw your response,
Just remember, we WILL survive this. :hug:

I'm trying to change careers as well, but there's little out there that can't be offshored. And I can't fathom a country of 300 million plumbers and road pavers... though I wouldn't mind if I had time at the end of the day to relax and eat proper...

14. Plumbing and road paving?
You might be right there and that's a sad future for this country.

All the best to you in your quest to find something. You're right. We *will* survive. :hug:

2. I think and suspect you have
done a lot of things right dear lizziegrace. I'm sure though that when days are rough it's hard to see through the darkness.

I don't have any wisdom but I do have lots of :hug:'s for you.

6. Hang in there, it'll be fine
I screw up a lot of shit too. So does everybody, it's just that you don't get to know they do. I'm sure that you can do anything you want to do, just take it easy.

7. Thank you
I get no feedback from my boss unless it's negative.

A friend who has her taxes done by another CPA in the office stopped in and it cheered me up. She's beating cancer and I couldn't be happier. She was one of the three attorneys who filed suit on behalf of the voters of Ohio after the 2004 election. She lost her job over it and nearly lost her law license, but that didn't stop her.

I'll be okay. I thank you for your kind words.

:hug:

12. You are more powerful than you give yourself credit for. We forget sometimes.
I'm sorry you're having a tough time right now. Just remember: this, too, shall pass....

Hang in there, sister. :hug: :loveya:

13. If I don't get fired
I get in trouble for my hours on a project and in trouble if I try to speed up and overlook something. I don't know what is acceptable to him and am afraid I'll end up out of a job.

I really, really hate my life right now.
