Just goes to show you can't rely on anyone... :impissed:
But I know that you do know that, really, because you're so good at being the voice of reason in this outfit.
If it helps, I think now would be a good time to say that you've never done anything wrong by me - or most other people in this thread if not on the boards - you've got a lot of respect (if you need to call in a favour and chat things through you can always PM me).
My job is shit, the firm I work for is shit, my pay is shit. etc etc.
(I certainly don't think that you have). You're honestly brilliant on the boards, and I'm not just saying that. You've replied to posts that I've made when I was really struggling, and what you said made sense, it was intelligant, and it was really useful.
If you go (I hope that you don't), then thankyou for what you've said.
I'm pretty much fed up of pretty much everything in my life, and I don't really know how to fix it.
I'm not fishing for compliments, btw. If you're fed up of my whingeing you should say so!
Well then more fool you!
In seriousness, I know I'm a helluva lot better at talking than I am at listening... but if you ever need to bend someone's ear then I'll gladly step in at any time mate. Really sorry to hear you're feeling overwhelmed with negatives (I feel like it should be underwhelmed because it's negative but... oh nevermind!) but I won't offer any of the thousands of platitudes that are on the tip of my tongue. Am here if needed
I don't have the magic degree to get a paid-for training contract, and I can't afford to buy my own professional qualifications.
Something will turn up and help you out of the rut you feel you're in. It always does.
A year ago I was in a job I really enjoyed, something that stretched my brain.
Now I'm stuck doing button-pushing in an office on a shit wage, spending my time pretending I care when some stupid London cunt gets his stupid remortgage done, and having to restrain myself from calling him a stupid London cunt when he starts shouting at me for not running around for him. And I'm stuck in an office where everyone still lives at home with mummy and daddy, and can't understand why I can't go out and spend £3 on a pint in the worst bar in Newcastle, and thinks that I'm ignoring them and above them because I can't afford to piss my money away in somewhere that I despise.
I always did set a lot by what job I have, its what I spend most of my time doing after all. Shame really.
Hey MissPiggy,
It's great that you feel able to ask for support on the boards - I hope it helps. We have a Q&A in the askTheSite archive: feeling suicidal - which you may well benefit from reading.
Take care x
hope you feel better soon
*sigh*
He's fine, it was only a mild one, but he can't walk at the minute. Not good.
stay strong guys xxx
Shit.
Hope it all goes ok. xx
In other news: I'm so tired. So, so tired. I can't concentrate on anything because of it. I've spent the last 2 hours writing one rubbish sentence of an English essay that's due in tomorrow, and I just can't do it. I'm so tired. I'm still on almost full-time hours at work because she keeps putting me on two 8+ hour shifts on weekends, starting at insane am (I did a 7-4 on Saturday and a 7-3 yesterday, and I have two 7-4's next weekend despite saying to her that I can't work Sundays anymore), and then giving me 5 hour weeknight shifts. My first week back at college I was on 5 days, 27 and a half hours. Last week it was 4 days, 22 and a half hours (although I skipped Monday so it was actually 19.5) and this week it's 3 days, 20 and a quarter hours. 16 and a half of which come from two days. I can't do this, AND my college work, AND my social life, AND have everyone always coming to me with their problems and shit. I just CAN'T. I'm tired, and I'm stressed, and I can't fucking concentrate on everything. I'm just tired and irritable and meh when I'm at home, and then when I'm at college I get hyper from the lack of sleep, and then by the time I'm on the bus I'm back on a fucking downer. It's just bullshit, it really is.
Meh
What does your contact say about minimum working hours hun? Because I'm seriouosly suggest you tell her you can only work your contact minimum and cannot do any overtime as your college work is suffering. If you minimum is 16(two eight-hour shifts) hours you might need another approach. You can't let your college work suffer because of your job, its far more important (God I sound like my mother)
She's given me 3 days, but I've been given a Sunday shift. A 9 hour Sunday shift starting at the time I would be just about getting up on a college day. I don't have a minimum amount of hours, outside of when I tell her I can work. The only thing they can't do is give me a shift within 11 hours of finishing the last one. I can't not do it because I seriously need the money, but what am I meant to do? I still have my Extended Essay to do...and loads of other stuff. Meh.
Mum says I should look for another job, but I dunno if I want to, 'cause I quite like Maccys
I can't think of anything practical except writing a budget and sticking to it.
I have to save £1000 by the time I go to Uni, plus paying my mum £17.50 a fortnight for my phone. That's like...£45 a fortnight.
Plus everything else I need.
I need to do that Sunday shift.
I really don't want to though.
I feel dead.
