Don't misunderstand me...

I want more than anyone for this war to end and bring our troops home, but I do wonder where would some of them work. Even though their company has to put them back on their payroll would that mean workers would lose their job?

i need career advice.. can you have more than one career?

I know i either want to be a teacher, phychologist or a social worker.. i just cant decide. I know you're supposed to go with your passion, and what you enjoy doing, and i'd enjoy all of those careers i just cant decide. However, i'm kinda leaning more towards being a pychologist. But being a social worker also appeals to me. I love helping people anyway i can. I cant do both can i?

Presentation in public

I held a presentation at my new job. I thought it went ok, with minor problems. The boss was also happy.

A colleague however, privately gave me some feedback and I think she's right, but I'm not sure what I can do about it.

She said I was very loud (heck, I'm a teacher at origins...) and that "your presence filled the room". She felt threatened, she felt I was aggressive.

She was unable to give me info on how to change that. I did not move around practically at all and my gestures were not too much (as she said). She thought I was very confident and convincing.

But it's not the first time I hear about being aggressive (somebody else thought that, too). Does anyone have any suggestions how I can minimize that? If I cause my audience to become defensive, it's not good.

I was involved with a music project and wasn't credited on the album

If you spent quite a while in fact over four days working on a mixdown production for an album, should the artist at least give a credit on the album sleeve, yes I was paid and dont expect and royalties but it's fair that names should be listed on the album, was this a selfish act on the musicians behalf and wanted 100% of the glory???

Have you ever felt that you are working in hell?

Not that I don't make mistakes because I do. However, I have the feeling that my co-workers keep blaming me for their mistakes. I am the second youngest person and the least experience at my work place. I would like to know if everyone has this experience or it's just me.

I feel so exhausted every single day.

Have you experienced this?

What is wrong with me?

I don't want to go to work anymore. I just want to stay home most of the time, relax in bed, sleep, lie in front of the tv, talk with people on the phone/text. I find myself isolating myself from others. I just feel exhausted dealing with people most the time, but I want relationships. I find my house peaceful, but at the same time I feel so alone. I feel safe when I crawl into bed, wrap the covers around myself like a cocoon, and just sleep. This feels off. I know I have to go to work, support myself, pay bills, etc.. I thought of being unemployed next year does scare me, but at the same time, I'm over worrying all the time and kissing some employer's ass for chump change. I feel absolutely drained, tired and and not up to doing what normal people seem to do everyday. I quit my job this year, fortunately, I saved up enough money to live on till next year. I'm doing OK for now, but I will need to go back to work next year. I'm supposed to be interviewing for jobs now, and I even find myself cancelling interviews. What's wrong with me?

Update: November 19, 2009.
Thank you to all that responded. I know I have to support myself next year so this is concerning. Funny thing is, if I could work from home, I would feel so much better. There's something about home that feels safe. I did not like my previous job, the passive-aggressive, gossippy environment, the inflexibility, and the lack of control on where my life was going. I also felt isolated from people I liked, family, friends, etc.. I felt overworked, so I was too tired to socialize. Then, when I had time to socialize, all I wanted to do was sleep. Now that I'm out of that situation, I feel better and free. I like that I don't have to report to some boss, or deal with colleagues that constantly gossip. Eventough I'm out of that environment, I get these moments where I feel the same way I did when I was working. I also waste days doing nothing instead of being productive about my career change. This is definitely not healthy. I want to be productive, but I end up sleeping or idling my day away. Plus, I've noticed that I'm putting on weight, eventhough I have more time to exercise. If this is depression, then I may have chronic depression. I have felt this way before and had to take breaks from school because of it. I think I may need help.

Can anyone recommend a good (FREE) website that helps you figure out...

what your passion is in life? I took something like the PSAT once that asked questions like "do you think you would enjoy reading a medical journal describing a new surgery?" or "would you enjoy balancing a checkbook?" etc. I was young and answered based on who I thought I wanted to be not who I really was... now I can't afford to pay for a test, but I would appreciate free ones... and yes I know what google is, but if anyone already knows of one and liked it I would appreciate the recommendation...
