I have three days off. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

I started training for my new role as a talent recruiter. I’m still doing other stuff like cashiering, and running stuff on the sales floor too. But yeah anyway it’s stressful. One member of management is hard to deal with, a lot of the customers are hard to deal with and just all of the work involved in general is exhausting physically and mentally and I come home after each shift wanting to quit.

Right now I’m learning how to interview people and how to choose whether someone is a good fit work here or not, and learning how to run job orientations and training employees. I’ve been there going on 2 months now.

I’m trying to stick it out for at least 6 months then maybe stop and focus on going back to college and finishing my degree so I don’t get stuck in this type of job forever. Ideally I’d like to stick it out a year but idk if I can handle it. I guess I’ll see how things go. My anxiety is severe from it lately, and I get depressed and stuff about it. I’m trying to learn to keep work stuff out of my personal life. Like try not to stress about it on my days off but I find myself always ruminating about it and stressing and when the next shift approaches I feel a sense of panic and dread.

The holiday season is approaching and I’m not looking forward to how busy it’s gonna be.

Anyway, today I’m going to the pharmacy to get my covid shot and flu shot
