I had to put more time in for another vacation. I’m hoping it won’t be an issue. I said I could work half of one day. The day I usually work. The next day I don’t usually work anyways, the next day is a holiday and I doubt they want to pay me time and a half. So maybe I’m doing them a favor. Then the last day I asked for off I do usually work, but I’ve worked 4 days in a row before with no problem.

I did ask before this trip if they had a limit on how many days you could ask for off, and they said no. People take a month off to go to different countries...

This is my last trip and then I really can focus on the holiday season.

I’m getting more hours then my other coworkers. Sometimes as many as 7 more. I have been told that management likes the way I work. But I also have an open schedule, and in my interview I said I wanted a 20 hour a week job. I don’t think it’s favoritism necessarily. It’s just that there have been rumblings at work these past two days. I’m hoping they won’t amount to anything. I don’t want to get on my coworkers bad side. I like and get along with these coworkers too.

Yesterday was a disaster. I almost caught up in one of troublesome coworker's workplace drama. I have only minor/small involvement in it, but it'd lead me to a big trouble.

I found out today that a manager who I get along great with, is apparently being rude and nasty to other coworkers. Its someone’s last day next week and she admitted she was leaving because of him. She said she wanted to go to coporate, but it was easier to just walk away.

I am confused. I’m not doubting what they are saying though. I just thought he would be the way he is with me, with everyone. Unless they are the ones giving him trouble and starting stuff? Even today he was talking with me just fine and being nice.

I don’t cause any trouble at work, or comment on anything. They completely switched my schedule around and I didn’t even say anything. I just worked the new hours. A lot of people complain. Do you think maybe they are the problem and not this manager?

Wouldn’t a good manager be the same with all his employees?

A person can have a different personality with different people. My grandmother is like that. She’s nice and friendly to her church friends. I even heard her quote the Bible to them. However can be downright nasty to my mom and her sisters sometimes.

I’m glad there was actually work to do today. Plus there was cake too.

hi everyone
i'm currently working as a receptionist, filling in for someone who is on maternity leave. she is meant to come back at the end of august, and i'm dreading looking for another job. i'm studying part time too, and it took ages to build up the mental strength to be able to work almost full time. i worked at this place for a couple of years in a very part-time role, but have done the last few months almost full time. the legalities of it are very vague, though, like i don't have a contract etc and there has been no clear discussion of whether i'm going to have any part time work once this is over. it's a small business and i am related to one of the part-owners, so it's very casual. this has been great in the way i have been able to have some flexibility, but i feel uncertain now.

in the past when i worked full time i have ended up in hospital both times, and had to start again from scratch trying to get part time work again. i'm scared of trying to get another job and being around all new people and trying to learn a whole lot of new stuff. at the moment i struggle sometimes, like clients are really rude and impatient, but i've got a lot better.

just venting...

I was asked to stay longer today and to come In tomorrow on my day off. I feel pretty good about this. No one else was asked to stay longer. I don’t mind coming in on my day off since I got to pick hours so I’m working a few early in the morning.

Hi
Not posted on the site for a while.

I have social anxiety and I'm a serial job quitter. I feel like I don't fit anywhere and no one wants me around. I actually feel really tired of running away and want to try and improve.

In second week of new job and have been hanging on by my nails to try and push through my emotions.

I get so stressed having to make small talk, although I do try and push myself to try.

Very paranoid about being judged and the way I come across. My brain either freezes or I blurt out something stupid.

Still hanging in there though as I know these things take time and hopefully I will settle in eventually.

[Mountaindewed]

A coworker got fired today. I feel kind of sad about it. Even though it was definitely his fault.

[Mountaindewed]

I’m going to have to call SSDI. My hours these next few months are going to interfere.

My therapist and my mom are making me really mad. If I’m capable of working more hours and if I’m not having any issues then why shouldn’t I work more hours? If I’m able to do all this then I don’t get what they are upset about.

I flat out refuse to tell work no. They need me and if I ask them to cut my hours (this is the start of the holiday season) they may cut my hours drastically and only give me 2 days a week or something.

Things were slightly better. This afternoon after work I found a good YouTube tutorial on some simple stuff I have to know. I think I can have it mastered by the end of next week if not before. I can see it's getting to be a bigger problem not having my own computer. I hope the director sees off hat way.

A bunch of heavy boxes almost fell on me today at work. My male coworker who caused the boxes to fall was able to keep them from hitting me. Everyone was asking if I was ok and he apologized twice and then when we went on break he offered to buy me a snack from the store next door.

I’m not mad at him at all, I just feel super embarrassed about it.

[Mountaindewed]

I couldn’t go in today. I think they understood.

[Mountaindewed]

I could of sworn my coworker said to my other coworker “how are you doing working with Montaindewed?” Maybe she didn’t say it, it was hard to hear. It’s bugging me. It’s like if you tell me what is making you say that then I can work on it if it’s something legit that I’m doing wrong. This hasn’t happened in a couple months, so it’s annoying.

Also at 4.5 months pregnant I don’t think she should be doing the stuff she’s doing. But that’s none of my business.

I just started affiliate marketing this week and it's going well.

[Aviza]

Well I'm working again now for the lawyer's sister, a chiropractor. Her office is super busy in comparison. I work afternoon's now. I worker harder, make less, and work more days but fewer hours. It's a big change to my income level and my motivation is less.

[Mountaindewed]

I was kinda out of it on Saturday. I was asking my coworkers weird questions like if I looked like I gained weight and stuff. I think I was just really tired. Today one of my coworkers asked me if I figured out the thing with my boyfriend. I don’t have a boyfriend so I had no idea wtf she was talking about. So I just said no. It must have been something I mentioned on Saturday. I’m not really worried. Although saying weird stuff and not remembering it should probably be a bit alarming.

I don’t actually remember much of work today either. I just remember my team being told we did a good job. In order for us to be told that all of us have to be doing our part. So I guess I don’t have to worry. I think it’s just because I do the same stuff at the same time every time I work.

[Mountaindewed]

Work was bad today. I’m not looking forward to tomorrow.

[Mountaindewed]

I heard my managers say that they might start scheduling some people in my department later in the day. I’m pretty sure I’ll be one of those people. I have a completely open schedule. Any day of the week from 5 to closing. I also worked regularly in the afternoon for half of the 10 months I’ve been there. So they know I can be alone and get a lot done. I’m having mixed feelings about it. They pressured me so much to switch to the mornings. Then they just scheduled me all of a sudden and I didn’t say anything. However, this getting up early thing isn’t working too well. I also save quite a bit of money by sleeping in until 11, starting work at noon and coming home at 7 and having no time for anything else. I don’t know. Maybe they will change their mind about the whole thing

I’m worried though because some of the time there is nothing to do when I work that late. So I have to go out on the floor. Saturday at 5 in the afternoon is horrible. They also for some unknown reason think being on the floor is my favorite thing. It seems they just pulled that out of their butt. If I did anything it was voicing the opposite.

Just when things were going good.

[Turtle_Rider]

Worn out at work. Please, please, very please to check everything before you finalize everything. You can change your mind and request some adjustments during this time. I give you a long time to analyze and think, so please please please use it wisely. Don't change it after the finalization because it waste so much time and cost. And it is tiring to get back and forth just to change a minor adjustment that can be done in one sequence.

I called into work on Friday. I wasn’t feeling good. Saturday I left less then an hour after getting there. Management was not happy with me. They told me I have used 8 out of 12 of my sick days. Plus I have left early other times. If you get 12 it’s an automatic termination. I went into work today. The manager I was talking to on Saturday asked if I was feeling better. I told her I had a doctors appointment set up In a few days after work. Other manager ignored me but was fine when I started a conversation with him. The 3rd manager had a bit of an attitude with me, but was pretty friendly when I was leaving. I think going in there today has helped me redeem myself. I have to be excellent until November 1st. I feel like I am a bit on thin ice with work. Hopefully I’ll have some answers from my doctor on Thursday. I am off tomorrow. Which is helpful,

[Mountaindewed]

I’m going to request off Black Friday and that Saturday. I know last year people were requesting those days off. My store doesn’t do Black Friday. Last year the store was less crowded then it is at noon on weekdays. The worst they can say is no.

Does this sound like a good idea?

[Mountaindewed]

The new guy at work talks to everyone and jokes around except for me. He’s hardly said anything to me. I seem to intimidate people. This has happened many times since I was a kid, where I’m the only one being ignored. I’m not doing anything, so it’s there problem and not mine. The guy is 11 years older then me. I think he may have some issues. I try not to take these things personally.

I overheard people talking about him. One guy said “we get what we get.” People are rude.

If the store isn't busy I don't see why you can't take off unless you need the money.
