Another day another dollar (well, pound, which has just slumped to nothing)

looks like I might get to go on strike in a few months!

Just a general question. Is the U.S. job market really that bad, and is it across the board -- high level and lower level jobs? I read about people sending resumes out and going on interviews for months and years and not getting a job. It just seems unlikely, that maybe they're aiming too high. If you want a job, meaning just money coming in, you should be able to get one, right? If Ke'enicshqua who provides horrible, surly service and spits in your food at your local Arby's can get a job, anyone can. I'm just wondering because I'm desperate to leave my job of 16 years, but I keep hearing horror stories about job searches.

I'm so glad I'm off work today. They had the nerve to ask if I could work today though, lol. This is like my only off day the whole week.

Today work made me cry. Or maybe it was internal bleeding, whichever, doesn't matter. I get existential there. It's the only place that can make me question the very fabric or near absence of life. Maybe I should do something else, but oh, go without a job and be out of work? That's for bums. Maybe. I'm too old to jump from place to place and yet I need to. Brb need to seek medical help.

I hate my job. My normal job, not my security guard job. That sh*t's the best job I've ever had. Anyway, the job's not even that bad. It's a few co-workers who make it completely dreadful for me. I really have a right mind to just quit. I think my parents will be really mad if I quit. But I'm 21 and I live with them. I'm starting to realize, I think I'm young enough that I can get away with doing stupid sh*t (for once in my life). I want to quit so bad.

What is the job? Would quitting hurt you financially? I mean if you want to look for something better go for it. You shouldn't be miserable at any age especially 21. Have fun and live :).

I am an assistant in a vets office. It wouldn't hurt me at all to quit as long as I can keep paying my parents monthly rent, which I think I can with my security job alone.

It sucks because I'm just not good at the job, and I think I can be... I'm just not there a lot. I don't get hours. I don't WANT hours anyway! The more experienced people get so aggravated with me and it's really degrading. I have trouble with socializing as it is, but people know they can walk all over me. I leave work every day there feeling horrible.

I love animals. It's not a bad job. It's just a certain few people. Even the nice people there don't outweigh the bad. I do want to quit haha I'm thinking about it! But I'm scared to pick up the phone and do it, too.

I am supposed to be taking time off for the weekend, and I was still working!

Thankfully, Since I took a half-day off, if I still hit 44 hours, I get overtime for that.

Thanks. A few people have gone to other places, maybe it's not too late to try something new.
Well.. That was a pointless state, but thanks.

Work was so long last night, plus I have to do it again the next 2 nights. Not sure I can handle all these hrs. I had to announce the store was closing last night and people were complaining they couldn't here me. My anxiety was through the roof....ugh. I can't scream, anxiety won't let me and I feel like I talk ok but I guess not good enough. Its tough.

I'm totally going to hear about our low preferred vineyard wine sales this week but its not as though I can force people to buy $18 bottles of wine when the economy is tight and there are $10 bottles ready and waiting

God, I would love that.

Wtf, my new assistant manager just gave her 2 weeks notice. She got a manager position at another store in the mall. Not sure what's going to happen now. My manager is very busy with other stores.

Does your anxiety not affect you at work? Hmm maybe you might move up in position, I know you wanted to move up before.

It does affect me, but sometimes it's not so bad. Unfortunately, I have bills so I need the hours. I like to think that I would get more confident in the job if I was there more often. The only way to be full time is by being a manager or assistant manager.
