venting about jobs

[mrisha]

Unless you find a job that you really can enjoy, then you are stuck for the time being.  It really grains you when you hate your job or in your case 3 jobs which has to be a bummer.  Hope things get better, but in this economy, jobs period are hard to find.

That's really hard. Pat yourself on the back for managing to keep that hectic schedule. I can imagine your stress level is pretty high. All I can suggest is to try to keep your goals in mind, and remind yourself that the jobs and full class schedule are all leading toward a more manageable schedule and hopefully more enjoyable work. In the meantime, give yourself a bubble bath or do something that you enjoy to blow off a little steam. You deserve it!

I have been there before.  Except I only worked 2 jobs and was going to school.  Just keep your eye on the prize and remind yourself that its not always going to be that way.  Good Luck!!

I find that retirement is the best job I ever had!  But alas, it took me a long time to get there (44 years in fact-- years old that is).  Just hang it and things will work out.  Just don't work for the USPS.  I'd hate to see you go postal!

HAHAHA    thats GREAT!!!    i will most definitely try that out   in YOUR position i would have shot myself or SOMETHING!    hahaha no offence! but me + old+ RELIGIOUS...= not so goood...   although i do find their teachings to be good    haha ... okie!  thanks duroz!   
 

asasuzaku!!   Hey, don't you have some "favorite customers" at your job(s)?
You know, those special people who can instantly make your bad day seem like a distant memory, and quickly make you forget all the people who tick you off, especially the ones who go out of their way to make you feel miserable.

If people (customers) are getting you down or getting on your nerves, just concentrate on getting the most out of seeing those people that you DO enjoy having as customers.

I worked at a tiny grocery store in a tiny city of mostly elderly, EXTREMELY religious people. (Which I am NOT).  When I started working there, I thought "Get me outta here! I will never like it here" and I really wanted to quit right away.
So, to entertain and cheer myself up, I singled out the most stiff, straight-laced lady in the town (she wasn't very well-liked, or not liked at all, and most people thought she was a total CRAB).
I made it my mission to make her laugh, even if only once.

I started joking around with her. even making jokes (gently) at her expense sometimes. I would say pretty much ANY WACKY thing (clean, of course) that popped into my head to her , which TOTALLY shocked anyone else who was around, they couldn't believe I dared to do this.
Well Mrs Crabby-pants laughed at me (a really hearty laugh too!) right off the bat, and many times to follow. People couldn't believe it was the same person. And by making her a little happier, my outlook was also really improved.
 
That was the start of a "friendship" between us. We were not CLOSE friends at all, but we both looked forward to seeing one another, and we enjoyed quite a few humorous times together.

Just something to think about...it sounds like you don't have much choice - you have to go to all your jobS for financial reasons. So since you (obviously) spend a lot of hours at them, you might as well try to make the best of it, and who knows? Maybe you'll even end up having some fun too!

Good Luck!

   waahhhttt ?!?!?!  i don't know HOW that would feel >_<    in sorry about that!! >_<  it must be brutal out their...    being in hawaii with the tourist jobs always looking for jobs, i never realized... im sorry guys!   

Try going from making 83K a year to nothing overnight.....very humbling experience indeed.  At least my wife was able to keep her job so the bills get paid.  3 layoffs in 2 years after working 10 years for the same company.  It's murder out there.

[asasuzaku]

wow~!  you guys are really helpful  = all of u guys!  i actually feel a whole lot better... or possible to see SOME glimmer of the future!    hee hee      thank you very much!   ... i will "try" to be more understanding of "awesome" customers, and find a way to enjoy my jobs...

In the MEAN TIME! anyone ELSE have much to vent? it was a lot better then this ~~>    

hehe ...

O_O

once again THANK YOU!!!

This one is easy, just think about all the people who don't have a job and the fact that you do. Think about the fact that those people are stressed out because they don't have anything and you do. I commend you for working and going to school you have hope for change some of these people just don't. I hope this helps you.
