I made a huge mistake!

For the past two years I’d (26m) been working as a virtual teacher’s assistant. It is the greatest job ever and I had the best coworkers ever too! However, it doesn’t pay that much and in this economy I’m struggling. I applied for a job within my local school district that payed double and I actually qualified for. I got a call from them yesterday telling me I got the job. However, they wanted me to start the very next day. I should have taken this as a red flag but I didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to be more financially stable.I told my coworkers and they were really happy and excited for me and I was in disbelief that I actually got this job. I got really sad thinking about leaving this job and my awesome coworkers but I knew this would be the right decision for…


For the past two years I’d (26m) been working as a virtual teacher’s assistant. It is the greatest job ever and I had the best coworkers ever too! However, it doesn’t pay that much and in this economy I’m struggling. I applied for a job within my local school district that payed double and I actually qualified for. I got a call from them yesterday telling me I got the job. However, they wanted me to start the very next day. I should have taken this as a red flag but I didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to be more financially stable.I told my coworkers and they were really happy and excited for me and I was in disbelief that I actually got this job. I got really sad thinking about leaving this job and my awesome coworkers but I knew this would be the right decision for me and my wife. I could not have been more wrong in my life. Today was my first day at the job and it was of the most hellish days of my life. It was chaotic, unorganized, the kids were unhinged and disobedient, they had me running around in the heat while wearing a long sleeve button up and jeans, i barely got to eat any of my lunch, I had no place to fill up my water so I was dehydrated, they bombarded me with tons of information while the kids were running around screaming and acting like dumbasses. I kept trying to find the light at the end of the tunnel, but it kept getting worse and worse. I was overwhelmed, ill prepared, and overall unhappy with how my day was going knowing this was going to be my new life. By the end of the day when everyone had left I hopped on the computer and emailed them that I was definitely not the guy they were looking for and that I would definitely not be returning. I then emailed my old supervisor begging for my job back. It’s only been one day and they haven’t flown my old job out yet so I have to do everything in my power to get it back. The only problem is that both my old job and this new one are part of the same school district and I’m afraid that they will not let me have my old job back because I quit this job after only one day and might just want to get rid of me for doing this. Any advice on how I can get my old job back? I plan on going to the district office tomorrow and begging them to give me my old job back.
