The Whining and Bitching Thread

Fucking ended up having to stay half hour after my shift at work was done because one of the girls failed to show up. No call-in, nothing. I had to blow up her home phone until I finally got a hold of her to remind her she worked today.

I need to get out of retail.
 
That would've resulted in leaving the other girl who was there (a newbie), by herself, effectively running both sides of the deli herself for the next five hours. I mean its doable, but it'd piss me off if someone did that to me. so yeah.

I was about to, but then I felt sorry for the new girl. The moment I got a hold of her, and told her she needs to get in now (she apparently "lost track of time" and apologized profusely), I peaced immediately.

Not even a manager and having to hound my coworkers. Working with teenagers blows.

The moment the manager leaves, if I havent left the deli (or hanged myself for still being in the deli), I'm going for her job.

RIP slacker kids.

Been in such a depressive funk lately. I feel like I’m trapped in some type of machine that’s trying to crush me. It’s been hard to even go out and do things or even talk to people. I just work, come home, and lay down. Or stare at my phone. Heh

If it gets too bad I’ll probably take a few days off. I feel like I can’t right now since it’s still the beginning of the year.

Heh I dont exactly have to deal with kids all day but I'm waiting for christmas vacation myself... i saved up enough paid time off to take from christmas day until the day after new years, but you get that time off regardless dont you?
 
maybe just take a Monday off and go have yourself a nice long weekend mini-vacation. It's been about three months now right? Shouldn't be a problem getting one day off.

There’s always something to do. Like planning and grading and writing IEPs. And if I don’t do it on my time the shit literally feels like it’ll consume me. A Monday shouldn’t be too bad. I’m just going to see how long I can last until Christmas break. @Krow yeah I get that week off. Usually when we make it to that point it all feels doable since it’s like midway point. I think for that break I’ll go somewhere though. I really haven’t been socializing at all partly because I just don’t feel like it. Idk a vacation might be helpful.

Is this related to some school/internship shit or is it your job? If it's your job that might be an environment issue and my recommendation would be to change your environment. If it's short-term for school/intern reasons try to utilize some mindfulness and/or make use of any therapy options available locally.

It’s the job. I do like my students but my coworkers are unbearable, whiny and judgmental. Especially the one I have to work with since we share the same students. She’s really just not a good person to be around. And the environment is just a bunch of women complaining about the principal and everyone he hired (these women are making it a race thing when it’s not and it’s worse this year). Its not the best environments right now. It’s also just making me really dislike people and the fact that I don’t have time to do other things but be surrounded by these people sucks too. You’re right. I guess some therapy or yoga wouldn’t hurt. I suppose my insurance should cover therapy
