I don’t appreciate getting called with 30 minutes notice to come in. I mean yeah I’m glad I got the hours and more money but Jesus this store is poorly managed. Normally it’s been a days notice when they call me in. Which isn’t much better. I don’t like being on call 24/7. It’s a little ridiculous. But anyway, yeah I work next Thursday (that is if they don’t call me in the next week to pickup a shift which they probably will 2 or three times ) it was just me and one other cashier for a few hours and the line was so long and people had huge purchases and layaways and stuff it was nonstop work the entire time there wasn’t a moment of down time except for my 30 minute lunch break. I’ve learned new stuff everyday I work there but I still make mistakes

If you’re not available don’t pick up the phone even…..you don’t have to be on call.

I didn't like the way me and all my coworkers had to delegate (On the phone) - That was pretty annoying. Why couldn't the manager just do it for us.. Being an adult? It's just laziness to me, and lack of shift organization skills. If people are to run a business, they don't suck the life, time and survival money from people like that - To be CEO, doing coke at the desk with hookers - Or else the workers won't care, and the phone calls will be soulless (And they were). There should be enough people to participate and share resources/talent/labour within the community.

Anyway, make sure to only work as much as you can handle (And that mental health is important). But you're doing amazing! (:

Me and Angel (My cat) take care of each other =[

She's a super anxious cat (And she's confused about my dad being in my room, and me being on a blow up mattress). Every times I move things around (To get ready for someone to visit), she KNOWS!

My parents weren't fighting this time.. They were actually coming to agreements/understandings etc..

My mom cried, telling my dad about how evil my grandmothers are. I bought some more wine for them. I told them not to drink too much, and for them both to take care of their health.

My dad went to visit a lot of family (While I was working last week) - My sister got in contact with our half brother (And his family) etc... He leaves tomorrow - And I work in the morning.. I hope nothing bad happens.

My dad said that I shouldn't have told my migrant coworker about my disability, and schiz etc.. But I felt interrogated by my coworker, and felt like I had no choice.. I didn't know what else to do (My mom said that it was okay though). I just want to keep to myself - **** them. I'm just doing it for money. There's a massive financial mess (With my mom) - She doesn't want to go to work tomorrow morning.. We might move back to the "isolation" (Which I don't mind.. If it's inevitable, and my mom is too stressed... I don't want her to be stressed..).. I had a good run here in this town (For almost 6 years now) - It was super fun! I've grown a lot.. I just don't want to work at the gas station in my old town, or anything like that.. Where I'd be reminded of how I was like (Around that place), when I was a teenager...

Then we'll move to Vancouver Island (Hopefully), and nothing bad happens to my parents..

We all lied on my bed, hugged, and talked.. And they're sleeping now.. I said "My parents.." - Like I never thought that it would be this way.. But we're still a family, after it all... All of the pain. And my pain continues still (And will, forever..). I just have to make the right decisions - and react to life, properly..

I just also need people to trust me - Like I've gone on some journey, and came back. I'd feel like the **** in some way. No one has seen what I've seen, and they can't mess with me.. That's why I think (With people that aren't in their 20's or younger), don't have all that experience.. And it's easier to have bad thoughts.. But also (With more experience), people can get tired/mid life crises etc.. Idk.. Nvm. I don't get anything anymore really.

I think the place I work tries to get away with only having a small amount of people work so they don't have to pay more people. so it's very understaffed and then the people who are there are overworked because we have to do twice as much. The management is pretty bad

Thank you, I'm trying

Bought the three shirts I posted and the jeans. Also got a music stand for my violin sheet music , the 2nd essential elements books for violin, and a padlock for my locker at work. And some household essentials.

Gonna shower, then clean my apartment and do some laundry. Have my therapy appointment today at 4pm. It was yesterday but I had to reschedule it due to unexpectedly being called in to work.

First thing that happens when I get up is feed the cats then Maybelle vomited all over the carpet because she ate too fast today. So that was fun to clean up

Don’t feel obligated to stay if things become too much and they overwork you. You don’t owe loyalty to any job, let alone one that doesn’t appreciate you.

I’ll try to stick it out for a few months but if it doesn’t get better or gets even worse after that I’ll probably put in a 2 week notice and find somewhere else to work. Mainly trying to get at least a few months experience with a job even if it sucks. Just to have to put on a resume so I can find better jobs over time

Good plan! Some jobs are just meant to get you ahead somewhere else. Keep it up! But don’t let them suck you dry.
