Hello all,
I'm hoping that I can solicit your help. As I've said in previous postings, I am off on a medical leave from work because my panic is at an all time high and my work environment is making it worse. I am an administrative assistant and primarily work with women. Women who love to gossip, socialize and basically slack off. That's now how I do things (I'm very focused and driven) and it's made me a pariah.
In any case, over the last four weeks, I've realized that I've got to make a career change. I'm currently working in a hospital and it's just to much negativity and death. I have over 11 years experience, so I really know what I'm doing and I'm an excellent administrative assistant (might as well toot my own horn). I have started my own e-based business (www.girlfridayink.ca) offering administrative services, but it's not making sufficient money for it to be my sole source of income right now. In the meantime, I need to start thinking about alternatives for a job until my business is turning a profit. My husband and I do need to pay the mortgage, after all.
Does anyone have any suggestions where I might make a move to that won't make my panic blow up in my face? In addition to being a person with anxiety, I am also highly sensitive, but very creative. I do have a long time to think about it, as my leave is indefinite, but a little help would be great.
Thanks so much,
Sarah :)
