Your list of stressors matches mine almost perfectly. I've held three jobs in the past 7 years and all three of them stressed me out to the max, but until this moment I didn't realize that maybe I just needed a job that allowed me to be the introvert that I am, as you stated. Knowing and understanding that makes me feel SO much better (and less of a failure). And I think it's really going to help me in my search for a job next semester. <br /><br />I don't have any advice, but I know God can help in mysterious ways!Winter_Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09787188959660618248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6297631190403710992.post-82638201306890788282015-09-30T07:33:28.442-04:002015-09-30T07:33:28.442-04:00I have worked in schools my whole life, but worked...I have worked in schools my whole life, but worked for a few years in the local university library- two nights a week. Out of everything that was my favourite, favourite job. Apart from my first school, which was semi-rural, sort of comprehensive and in a very lovely town. In a library you have some time chatting at the desk, lots of time shelving in the stacks, dealing with customers in little spurts. And having thousands of books literally at your fingertips. In a few years when the boys are independent at holiday times, I am going to look for a library job. Information Assistant level- not librarian!magsmcchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17278148796772565928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6297631190403710992.post-46025141028940900432015-09-27T20:03:48.586-04:002015-09-27T20:03:48.586-04:00I share a lot of your stressors.

I worked in a business that sold ski wear and gear for bike racers. (Boulder, CO-1975) I was in the warehouse where I filled orders all day. There were maybe 3 other people who worked with me. After a while they decided I was needed in the office, which I didn't mind, but I really liked working among the racks of clothes filling orders. I know, it was kind of a hideout for an introvert and I don't know of any businesses like that in my area. I think a bookstore would be better than a library, because of the concerns Una mentioned. Our little library can be very busy, and probably stressful. I will watch with interest what everyone comes up with!Lisa Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567160304529796810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6297631190403710992.post-19025506271778377532015-09-27T16:55:33.175-04:002015-09-27T16:55:33.175-04:00No ideas my dear!!!Xx No ideas my dear!!!Xx Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6297631190403710992.post-40049553970440200682015-09-27T13:43:36.731-04:002015-09-27T13:43:36.731-04:00I believe the Lord will show you what He wants you...I believe the Lord will show you what He wants you to do with your time.

In my part of the world it is no longer a secure job as libraries are closing down. My job will probably disappear next year. I made sure my daughter did not follow me into this profession. I don't want to disillusion you. There are many worse jobs. I lasted one term as a teaching assistant a few years ago!Unahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398380737025120541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6297631190403710992.post-85965173381816150322015-09-27T08:45:27.824-04:002015-09-27T08:45:27.824-04:00Well, you have passed step one with flying colours...Well, you have passed step one with flying colours. You have identified not only what stresses you out but also what you would like in a job. Now all that is left is to find the right job for you. Easy Peasey. Heh heh.
