career decisions, call centres, and advice for office life

My dearest interent strangers,

I am in need of advice and opinions. 

I've recently made a career change. I was trying to train to teach secondary English (ages 11/12-16). I only made it six months. It wasn't that I could handle the kids, I quite enjoyed handling the students. where I began to find struggles was with the other teachers, the workload, the expectations. I knew it would be hard going in, but I've always been resilient with these sorts of things. I just couldn't handle it. In retrospect I realise I may have been bullied by them. they made crass remarks about my dyslexia, ignored me, discouraged me from getting involved with the team and prevented me from joining them for team building events (despite my fellow trainees facing no such rejections). they made constant complaints about me for the smallest things from off colour choices of conversations, offhanded remarks about spats with my partner, reading my own books in my free time. I was put on a 'support plan' and then a 'cause for concern'. basically they sit you down in an uncomfortable meeting on teams where its you, your mentor, your tutor, your manager and another member of staff. then they tell you everything you've done wrong and then ask YOU what you intend to do about it. then when I didn't meet their expectations with that it was more meetings but this time if you don't give them what they want they'll make you quit. 

after the February break I decided to defer and get a job elsewhere while I save to move out of my family home and in with my partner. I've secured a pretty comfortable job as call centre admin and tech support. the money isn't much less than money I'd be making as a teacher. I used to be extremely career motivated before I went to university, my career goals were my life. But in second year I left a very bad long term boyfriend (I'll spill the story some day if anyone wants it) and I met my George, and I made amazing friends which I had never had before. Everything changed. I want an easy, comfortable life without fighting or striving hard to do something 'important' anymore. I've got until January next year to decide if I want to go back and finish training. I would be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to keep the call centre job. I would appreciate some advice from strangers on the internet. should I stick to my old career plans of focus on making a home for myself? 

in the mean time I would love any advice from other office ladies and gentlemen on the prefect call centre lifestyle. we're super relaxed here (no dress codes, flexible hours, bonus scheme) and we hot desk, so a lot of freedom but no permeant desk additions. so far I'm really liking it, I even like the office building, its big and open plan. my only real complaint is that it gets wicked hot in there and the lights can give me headaches. I even like the din, imagine hundreds of people in a high ceilinged open space all talking on the phone. its relaxing.

so, tips for office life? and should I go back to teaching? 

with love, 

the vampire freak.
