Feeling a bit bored?

[Judy Trickett]

I am very intellectual, and I don't mean to be arrogant when saying that. I crave knowledge and love to learn so to be in this job where I am SO isolated, and the learning plan is so mundane and basic, it really takes its toll on me. I am an analytical thinker and can always see the bigger picture and love complex and multilayered subjects, so simple concepts that can only grow minimally bore me quickly and under stimulate me.

That is me to a "T". I, too, am very intellectual and love to learn and research. I am very much an analytical thinker as well. I swear to God that some days I can feel my brain cells exploding in my head from sheer atrophy! I find the mundane nature of this job stifling at the best of times. I NEED to think, to use my brain. One of the reasons I frequent daycare forums so much is that it helps me to fill the gap. And what I mean by "fill the gap" is that forums afford me the opportunity to be useful - to coach others and share my skill set. Without forums I honestly don't know if I could do this job. I would be totally unfulfilled.
