Today I had to watch one of my coworkers floss his teeth at the table in the lunchroom. He was sitting right across from me. Gross.

Not much to gripe about today. Due to taking a few vacation days earlier this week I was scheduled today. All my regular coworkers were off so I was working with a few people I’ve never worked with before who just work weekends. I am very flexible and can work with anyone so I didn’t have any issue or anxiety. I actually really enjoyed the lady I was directly working with. Today was pretty good and my manager was happy with me.

back from vacation. loved vacation...was not excited to return to work, but have to pay those bills. (acadia is an awesome place to visit...if you ever have the chance to visit the national park...go! you will not be disappointed). this begins a stretch of long hours of work, dr appointments, and therapy dog visits.... it's not that work is difficult but it sure was nice to be away and visiting the oceanfront and enjoying lobster....now I guess I need to work on next year's vacation...it isn't much time away but it makes all the difference.

I'm a little anxious about tomorrow, because my difficult coworker will be back. She had surgery and has been out for a month. It was peaceful with her gone. I've been covering her work while she's out, and I'm nervous that she'll be upset at how I did it.

I’m pretty sure my severe fatigue was noticeable today. Besides my excessive yawning I think people could just tell in general how tired and out of it I was. People were really nice though.

Besides a needy coworker who was pushy about me coming into work on my day tomorrow off so she could work with me, today was fine. I think these fewer hours are helping a lot with my stress about work.

Work was ok today. I was getting tired towards the end though. My supervisor was really hungry so I gave her one of my snacks. I’m glad I get along so well with my coworkers and supervisor and managers.

Was surprised because I've finished all the task before 3 PM and had no remaining tasks at all. I did nothing, because there's nothing to do.... Until the clock-out time, when the boss and coworkers dropped bomb of works and tasks. They said, "they are urgent. You have to finish them all now."

What are the urgent works?
1. "You must edit my Whatsapp profile picture."
2. "I want to add more text on this picture, which you had submitted 6 hours earlier."
3. "Please make a mask for a boss birthday on Monday."

Guess who came home late?

Now I'm so envious with those who have resigned this month.
Still got no replied from my application though.

I work with an arrogant and emotional 19 year old who blames everyone for his low quality work and his depression. He creates drama by bringing other employees into his conflicts. Working with him is quite unpleasant. People have been avoiding him.

The young man is draining. I have decided to erect some strict boundaries. He won't be able to complain to me anymore. This is the only reason he comes to talk to me. I'm sick of hearing about his pathetic life, how people have done him wrong. Everyone is to blame.

My coworker kept bugging me about some candy she had. She said “do you want one?” I said “no” she kept naming off flavors and not giving it a rest until I finally said “I’ll have a blue one.” Dude, I don’t want your ****ing Jolly Ranchers. Plus these people always make it seem like your the one being rude when you turn them down. I hate it when people bug other people about food. There’s so many reasons why people turn down food which isn’t anyone else’s business.

What do I need to do? DO I have to get on FMLA????????

I need to take time to recoup but it's not working. and I'm getting more SUI by the minute.

Why do we have to be controlled by those we work for?

Despite having a doctor's note, I have to work anyway. This is so morally wrong. Now I wish I had a better understanding work environment. The real kicker is it's a place of mental health safety!!

I felt like a couple people were acting kinda weird towards me today. Most were very nice though. But there were a couple conversations today that had me wondering if it was something I was doing or not. I was very tired and in pain due to a sleep episode I had last night so I was probably just imagining things. That supervisor is rude though for sure.

Someone in our team responded to a spam email and now we lost our biggest social media account. Thanks to her, now we're in a big trouble and work. I don't get how could she idiotly gave the ID and password to the spammer. The signs were too obvious, how the hell she couldn't see that?

To make the matter worse, the person who created the account couldn't remember the email used for the account. Asked the IT, he said that he never recap any registered account data. It's highly probable that we're going to lose it and have to start it all over again.

A coworker who has been gone for weeks is on the schedule next week. I sort of threw her under the bus because people had no clue where she was and I did and I was getting frustrated with her being so dishonest with them. Some things you just gotta worry about when they happen though so I’m not going to figure out what to do or say about this until she comes back next week.

I'm in a very strong "I don't want to go to work" mood today. I'm just sitting out my last month and a half, I've already quit because I was bored out of my mind. Still feel it was the right decision, I need to get out of there, but also getting slightly desperate and discouraged that I haven't found anything new yet.

The job search is only making me resent my current job more and more when I realize I've been wasting my time in a dead end job instead of getting any relevant experience. It seems like all the other jobs out there are either just as boring or require at least 5 years of experience, or a language I don't speak.
(I'm fluent in three languages! Come on, there's gotta be something out there that's not a call centre!)

Did not get paid. Payroll is done. Always have to ask for my pay. She doesn't just pay you like she's supposed to! Off today which means my pay is 3 days late! I'm down to 2 dollars. I need my check!

We were told to do a lot of stuff 10 minutes before we left. I said to the manager “we leave at 11.” He said very nicely “are you asking to leave?” Um, no. Why would I be asking that. Everyone in the department is scheduled until 11. I just told him “we’re scheduled until 11” and he got it. Some people at work think the managers are trying to trick us into staying longer. I think they just overestimate how much stuff we can actually get done in a day.

Yesterday work was hell. I was assigned on a work that was not mine. It was supposed to be the new manager's work. Later, I realize that she also dumped her works on someone else and never credits anyone.

That work was complicated, so I had lesser time to finish my real work and had to do an overtime.

Sadly, there is nothing I can do about it. I've been warned before when I refused to do a work that was not mine.

I requested Black Friday and that Saturday off. I just put it in the book and am hoping they give it to me. I know plenty of people have requested Black Friday off in the past and they have gotten it.

Work was hard today because I was told to work in the work station that was in the line of vision of that jerk coworker. Now 8 hours later it doesn’t seem like a big deal but he really was annoying me earlier today. I just kept throwing him shade and hoping he gets it that I don’t like him.
