WHEW!!!!! Things here have finally settled a bit. The job I came back to IL for was too good to be true...after two weeks of 3-4 hours sleep a night, endless meetings with bosses to get the situation corrected, countless assurances of "it'll be okay" and "it's not that bad" from said bosses...I handed in my keys/phone/pager/ID/computer yesterday and said buh bye.

Then I called an old boss and asked if she could use me to cover for the maternity leave of the caseworker who took over for me and she said she'd LOVE to have me back! She also said it would be fine to do some job hunting on company time if things are slow! Sometimes life just works out.
