Roll Call 201

That's a hefty schedule BB - I believe in you!

But 11pm-6pm? That's 7 hours of sleep.. I'm not sure if that's legal. Better check up on that.

I'm feeling much better btw.. I had a really dark day today - Possibly one of my darkest days.

Got two hours of sleep last night filled with bad dreams, so instead I've been learning how to play NIN- Hurt on the keys (and eating way more than I should).

Have my violin lesson @1pm. Then off to get the bus to work @4:40pm. Back home after midnight. Then shower, eat, and get ready again then back out to work at 4:40am, then finally home tomorrow at 4pm. Not even gonna bother taking my night meds when I get home tonight since I have to leave again a few hours after that.

They better get rid of my Tuesday shift like they said they would because I’m gonna be pissed if I have to stop my volunteer job for this job. I don’t want to do that. They agreed to let me have Tuesdays off

Also wtf do they expect people to just not sleep or have any sort of life. And my days off aren’t really days off because they call me on those days too to pick up shifts when they need help.

When I first started cashiering they forgot my college orientation….even though I mentioned at interview. Like hello….they don’t write anything down tbh.

Yeah it’s ridiculous. I put it in the application, mentioned it during the interview and have reminded them a few times and they said that’s fine but they still haven’t fixed the schedule

I hate life right now. I don’t feel like doing these back to back shifts. Its gonna be a nightmare. It’s gonna be a long three days with not enough or barely any sleep. Wednesday I have off though thankfully.

I might have to stop my volunteer job with the cats at petsmart unfortunately. Because this place I work now is very demanding.

I hate the thought of that though because I care more about helping the rescue cats there than I do about some job where they have no consideration for peoples lives even if I am making money

Don’t do it! You need to help the kitties….this job will try to bleed you dry don’t let it.

You are the boss BB. You say "I work on this these days, and I'm NOT working on this day. When I say that Tuesday is my day off, listen to what I'm saying?".

I think working that much is too much for beginning a job (Because of your mental health). I can only work 2-3 days a week..

If it's a job where there are pleasant people around? It's MUCH easier (For me). They have to be good, funny, hard working, kind people.

I have introvert disorder.

Thanks everyone. I talked to them tonight. They said they’ll fix it. Anyway it’s 11:16pm now and I’m waiting on the bus to come so I can go home. It’s raining out and I didn’t bring an umbrella but thankfully there’s a bus shelter

I got my Tuesdays off request approved

So basically we each got a scanner and we’re scanning every single item in the store section by section and then writing down the amount of items in each area on a tag with our initials. Did 5 hours of it tonight. Screwed up a bunch probably on the beginning. Almost walked out I was getting so frustrated. But I made it through. They did order pizza for everyone, so I had a slice on my 15 minute break. 9 hours of scanning items to look forward to tomorrow. Now that I’ve gotten the hang of it I’m not to worried about it really what’s gonna suck the most is I’m gonna be exhausted from no sleep and extremely sore from standing all day. the first two hours of tonight were a nightmare I kept having to start over entirely and redo scanning of shelves every time I messed up which was often. And there’s a ton of items per shelf. One shelf I was working on was candles , and one girl next to me was scanning too and she broke some glass item on the shelf. It’s such a pain in the *** to do this and I don’t understand why they have a bunch of us that are brand new doing it. Plus managers and stuff go around and audit random shelves they scan them and check your work to see if the number is correct which is nerve wracking.

My back hurts and my feet are sore. I’m just trying to relax for a couple hours before I head out again.

I had a panic attack on my way to work last night. Have to head out again in an hour for my 9 hour shift. This job is overwhelming. I'm almost tempted to quit the only reason I'm still trying to make it there each day is because I want some work history and it's nice having more money so I'm not broke all the time. I hate it though. It sucks. It's hard physically, I come home so ****ing sore it takes me over a day to recover from each shift and I'm tired and I'm skipping meds in order to make it there and not sleeping and my anxiety is at an all time high especially when dealing with customers, and they're always calling me to come in when I'm not scheduled. I'm constantly paranoid that the managers are talking about me and thinking of firing me for not doing good enough. I'm not eating properly or making meals because I don't have time and when I do I don't have the energy to actually make anything because I'm still physically and mentally recovering from the previous shift. Maybe I'm weak or something. Idk. I didn't expect it to be easy but this is a nightmare especially since it's only a part time job. And the holidays are coming which is gonna be even worse because all the holiday shoppers and dealing with lines and layways and returns etc

BB, is there anyway you can adjust your availability and tell them you can't work more than, say, 10-20 hours a week during specific hours so you can have a somewhat regular schedule? At my last prolonged job they had me working 60 hour weeks but then eventually I told them I can only work the evening shift 5 days a week so that cut me down to 25 hours a week always from 5pm-10pm and it was soooo much better for my mental health not to mention the evening hours were so much less stressful than the day time hours at that specific job. Work boundaries are important, especially for us sensitive to stress.

Ughhh corporate has been here and the’ve been telling us to keep going faster and faster and they pushed our lunch break from 10am to 12:10pm. I’ve been here since since 6am and didn’t get a single break until right now after 12pm

Boots, yeah I can see about that eventually. Inventory is mandatory though.

I’m home now. My plan is to not move an inch unless it’s to eat, drink or use the bathroom , just basically lay here until my volunteer shift tomorrow
