I've been promoted...
...To answering the phones. Yes, that is right I went to school for 5+ years, took 9 licensing exams, my state exam and LEED, all to get to answer the phones, prepare drawings that other people take to meetings and sit here bored. Now if I was getting paid better, maybe that would help. The thing is I can't fight it. My office has laid off 2 intern architects, 2 accounting staff and at least 4 contractors. Here is what I don't want to happen: I continue to be upset about my job so I give up, phone it in, give up my career for a family. Here is what I want: I want to love my job and my clients (I don't need to love my co-workers, but that would be a plus). I want to be torn between my work and my family instead of choosing one by default. Is that too much to want?

Oh girl that is not fun! I am so sorry! I got stuck answering phones at my last job too...then, strangely grew to love it. It was quieter there than at my old desk!
Hang in there...keep us posted!
Having a family does not mean you have to give up your career. The two can work hand in hand. You are a very intelligent person. Maybe a new door is opening up to you! Debi
