This job used to give me purpose and provided meaning, but now it's stripping away what's left of my self-esteem. When days are bad, they're really bad.
I am in the workforce, but I don't feel like I'm in the workforce. Maybe forcing myself to work, yeah that's it. Pure coercion.. is it worth the money?
They are polite as hell to each other.. but when it comes down to keeping their hours? they turn into absolute sharks.
When one coworker was "acting out" - i had to confront her.. for over 4 years - everyone talked sh**t behind her back but no one ever stood up to her...they made fun of her behind her back, had parties when she wasn't there.. a common enemy...
Just spent a lot of time with an ex, now a friend, who makes a few million a year. Very stressed out, zero job security, but makes me look really lazy. We've been talking about getting back together and my lack of motivation to "do better for myself" could get in the way if I don't figure out what to do with that thought.
I think some of my coworkers had a discussion about me being quiet recently, I don't mean like in a "he never talks what the hell is wrong with him" kind of way either, because they're pretty nice. But in the past week 3 people have commented on my shyness.
So for the past 7 days, I've had four 12-13 hour shifts and I still have four more days of 12-13 hour shifts scheduled for this upcoming week. I don't need a social life if I can keep this up.
