Yesterday I started my new job at a clothing store. It was terrible. The entire staff is very clique-y, unhelpful, and they only accept those like themselves. The work itself was pretty bad. I was stuck in a cramped back room for 7.5 hours, putting clothes on mannequins. I had to make each mannequin look exactly as it does in a photo, clothing wrinkles and folds and all. Most of the time I had to sit on the floor.

I have a hard time focusing for very long, so an hour in I was dying to go home. They made us take our lunch at 10 AM, the time I least needed it. That made it harder to get through the day.

I'm not sure if its normal to have such a hard time working for more than an hour. I feel pathetic, because I'm an adult, I should be able to work.

I have only worked one job before. I worked at a flower nursery, very fun environment, lax atmosphere, sort of a family business. I think this might be why I have trouble adjusting.

Yesterday I was convinced I should quit my new job. I feel like I should perservere, though. How can I get through this? I can't concentrate and I don't have the energy or willpower. Help!!!
