Hi my name is Kristina and I am 21 years old with a 5 month old baby boy. To give you a little about my story I was attending a University and met this guy 25, we dated on and off for 2 years I got pregnant and he wanted me to have an abortion I said no and he left. He said that he wasnt ready for a family. Needless to say I have been on my own since. My son is a very good baby he caused me some health problems in the beginning, and wants to be held all of the time but he is sooo sweet. I am currently trying to get my nursing degree but it looks like I am going to have to put that on hold. It is M-F 8-4 and there is no way I can work too. I am trying to look for a new job in the health care field but then I have to find day care see right now I get to take my son with me to work. But I am not going to last to much longer at this job. I am the only person in the office and there is no one to talk too so thats why I need a friend.

oh Kristina....I totally get the need a friend part!!! :huggies:

I, too, sit in an office alllllll alllooooonnnneeee all day every day. I have no windows, I don't answer phones, I don't have visitors...or even a supervisor for that matter.
I'm starting to go a little crazy.
I'm going to put padding up on my walls pretty soon.
Welcome to our Niche!!!

pamella

It is so nice to hear that I am not the only one. The phone never rings here. I have windows but that doesnt help too much, I dont have any visitors either and my mom is the manager. What do you do? Tell me a little about your self/

Oh my goodness girls, do I feel for you. That would drive me crazy! Not that it is a long drive, but regardless. I feel for you both and anyone else who works in an enviroment like that.

I haven't had much time for posting these days...I MISS YOU ALL :huggies:

Things are going on for me. On Monday I start a real job with real people and a real window!!! I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited. But now I have to get alot of stuff organized in here so that I can do this job in an hour a day, or just dissolve it altogether. Hard to say. Plus the rest of my to do list is sooooooo long. I took some advice in the organization discussion and got a day planner and i'm attempting to put my life into little blocks. I hope it works.

Then when everything is nicely organized I will take my little computer here home with me...and then I will read and write in here every night instead of every long boring lonely day. And I will have 3 dimensional friends Monday to Friday, and all you guys evenings and weekends!! What a sweet treat!

Anyway, as I said...too much to do, so I must go now. Hope you all are having a super week...and somebody pray that I don't blow the breaker in my head from overload.

Thanks.
luv y'all

You get a window?

ugh. I haven't had a window in....let's see..holy smokes. 9 years.

well all i can say is i am glad i dont have a job like that. i love my job working at dennys as a hostess. i love to be around people. i just cant afford to stay there much longer. i need to get a full time benefits job for my daughter. it sucks having to quit a job that i addore sooo much and all the people there are great and fun to talk to. unfortunately the paychecks are not as great. well good luck to all you ladies and maybe you can purchase pictures of windows. or have your children draw some for you. hehe.

I am relating to now. I lost my job my ex refuses to pick up any of the kids( apparently parenting is harder for men than it is woman and he jsut doesnt want to try anymore)so I only have little people to talk too. Feeling desperate and alone here as well.

I work in a cubicle! But the back is a hallway so people are walking by alot. And if you lean your seat half way back you can see the person next to you, so yeah for that! But the pay sucks and it's only part time i really need to find something full time quick soon, but no one wants to hire me because I can only work days. But I hope yall get better jobs to, good jobs.

Hi there,
My name is Desiree and I am sort of feeling like you are as far as trying to finish my education and balancing being a mom, working and a student. I work full time right now as a housekeeper and my 10 month old has daycare thanks to DHR...I plan on finishing my education to either become a teacher or translator..though translation or interpretation is my real dream..but I am not so sure if i should do something for short term so i can move out on my own so i can really support my child and I. That is my only delimma. I hopt you keep in touch..if this helps, why not try to apply for childcare assistance with your local Department of Human Services? You never know till you try..Keep your head up girl! Desiree

ALONE, wow me too.

JOB, wow want mine? I am a manager at the local CHUCK E. CHEESE. I would love to be in a box for awhile. I love kids don't get me wrong, but i love my patience to. I have been there for three years and the people i work with i love like my own family.
Right now i'm looking for another job b/c i'm just not making enough money to support my kids and me. Most people say CS, but i say when the dads decide to work.

FRIENDS, don't have any of those either. When my oldest son was born my friends split. Who would want to hang out with an 18 year old with a kid?

SOCIAL LIFE, i don't have that either. I just don't have money to waste on bars. I don't have a sitter. My 5 and 3 year old boys take all my energy out once we get home.

Does anyone feel that way?
