I'm a sales associate at an outdoor sports store called Gander Mountain. I sell shoes. Which is really kind of funny because I'm socially phobic but have to pitch sales all day. If I was just selling shoes, I'd be happier, but I have to convince people to buy accessories, get a warranty plan or a credit card. And doing the metrics stuff KILLS me inside and makes me feel sick to my stomach. I hate myself when I have to convince people to spend more than they need. Though with the warranty its actually a good idea. But with times being as hard as they are, people financially hurting...It's just hard to to this. I'm glad they're moving me to apparel.
I just barely handle my job. Though not necessarily because of being bipolar. That isn't currently my biggest issue. Being borderline and having ADD while not being medicated, are my biggest problems. Along with my neurological issues. As long as its fairly quiet, I'm okay. But working weekends like I did yesterday? It. Was. HORRIBLE. I had ten people pulling me in their direction at the same time. And it was like that for 3 hours straight. I couldn't catch a break, and I don't deal with stress very well.
