Jess is still thinking of moving up here...her main hang up right now is her job. She has a decent job that could probably lead to somewhere in the county or up to the state...but she just does not like it like she thought she would.

She feels bad because she knows she is lucky to have it...but its extremely stressful and taking its toll on her.

I basically told her that if she does not think she can handle it then she needs to talk to her boss/supervisor and lay out her concerns and maybe stick around long enough for them to train a replacement. I know jobs are hard to come by, but if its going to make her unhappy then its just not worth it.

She is a 911 dispatcher in Loudon County, TN. The interview process was very intense and she really went through the wringer...she's been at it about 4 months or so. She's done every shift as part of her training but its a lot more stressful than she ever thought.
