Have A Good Old Moan....

Poh - welcome to the wonderful world of 'being an adult'! Hehehe!  You've got another 50 years or so (give or take a few years) of this!  Alot of us do jobs we hate for around 40 hours a week, and experience much the same thing you've just described - injustice, drudgery, favouritism, hatred of getting up in the morning...... I could go on!  But seriously - when you have to do these things in order to pay rent & eat, you learn to just suck it up and get on with it!  I recommend developing a coping mechanism.  When I get pi**ed off with my job and think I can't possibly force myself to get up and drag myself there on a Monday morning anymore, I just remind myself that I can't build up my own business and become fully self-employed without sustaining the income from my day job at the moment.  I'd suggest when things get like this that you remind yourself of the reasons why you're working and just focus on that!  And remember - your job does not define who you are!

thanks mindi, aye the irony, tried and hunted so hard for this job and now i hate it! haha! yeah i try and get through by thinking of the money (veryyyyy little money, but money) that i'll get from it that's paying towards my driving lessons and for my own place next year hopefully. i am grateful that i am only part-time though, i couldn't bear working there pretty much every day of the week! i'd litterally go bathe in the de-carb (potwashing joke/reference, this is how sad i am haha!)

ah jeez, at least soon i'm gunna go job hunting again, see if i can get to work at a new TESCO that's opening locally or something, doubt they'd like my face and hair though bluuuurgh

Tell you what, though I'm loving working for myself full time, it's still very crap at times. Working all hours I can (I break it up a little by doing what I'm doing now, posting on forums) but it's 11.17 on a saturday evening and I'm working again. Will be for another hour or two and then back to it in the morning for a lot of tomorrow. Lots of other bits I don't like as well. But mostly it's ok and I enjoy it, so I'm not complaining.

My boyfriend has been working his dream job for almost 20 years. Though he loves it, he has very s**t days.

So yeah, life's a bitch and then you die lol

I used to work in a shoe factory. There were two women that worked opposite me who spent ALL day (they worked through breaks to make more money as it was piece work) lacing shoes. Yes, they spent about 9 hours lacing shoes. They'd been doing it for 35 years, sat opposite each other and hardly talked to each other. It's like they went into a trance. At least you don't ever have to be them!

If my job was a person I'd happily punch it in the face! But these things just gotta be done... To pay rent to the same person who employs me so it feels lovely and pointless 🙂 Ah, life..

Ah no!  Now that truly is irony!  😀

Poh - welcome to the wonderful world of 'being an adult'! Hehehe!  You've got another 50 years or so (give or take a few years) of this! 

Haha, this. To be honest, I love my job but even I have days when I want to punch somebody by the end of the day. I think everyone does. At least they let you keep your mods? I know a lot of places which are really awful about it. Just focus on the money you're making! 😉

yeah, thing is i'm past the good days, when i first switched to pots i loved it! working with another potwasher, making deserts and everything.. now it's just plain crap working alone barely finishing by the time my shift ends blehh

job hunting starts soon though

Some b*****d vandalised our car last night while it was parked.  Not horrendously badly, but they broke off our rear tail light, so we now have to spend £60 to get a new one.  And this is on a week when money is already tight and we didn't have anything spare to start with in the budget.  Balls.  🙁

that sucks 🙁 also you're all right about job complaints, doesn't matter what you'll do, you will always complain- my job is piss easy on the grand scale of things but I get really bored spending 9-3 every day doing nothing! I can't wait to move onto something new!

They've moved my psych appointment to 9:30am tomorrow. Don't even know how I'm going to be able to get ready in time. One of the worst problems for me is my lack of energy. I rarely wake up before 12. I'm going to be like a zombie. 🙁

Just took our first load of stuff to our new flat. There's a dw
FEW new additions since we  viewed it. Inclusive of a mouldy sofa, broken wardrobe, mouldy chair, big pile of laminate & the place is filthy. Really not impressed!  I expected to do a bit of cleaning bit this ia a piss take 🙁

I had my wisdom teeth out on saturday. My face has swollen up and it hurts constantly =[
I hadnt brushed my teeth since saturday morning, and they were feeling horrible, tried to brush them a little but this morning and jabbed at my stitches accidentally, hurts so much more now.

ugh I just wanna cry :'(

Im really stressing out, there is an assistant manager vacancy at my shop and Im applying for it. There is soo much to prepare its mental. Another girl I work with is applying too, and luckily for me I feel as though she isnt taking it as seriously, but you never know she could be perfectly prepared.
ughhh!! in my last few reviews my manager has said how much she wants me to be her ASM, but now that there is a vacancy and two of us from the store are applying, she has to be impartial about it all until we have our interviews, which is understandable.
I feel like im going to think im prepared and then cock up in the interview by looking stupid! 🙁

The benefits agency are an absolute joke. I've been told that my sickness benefit might be at risk because I haven't yet sent them a completed questionnaire regarding my health condition, but I haven't actually received the questionnaire yet even though it was sent out a month ago 🙁 I rang them up and they said they'll send me a new one, but they can't guarantee that my money will be safe. I love how they penalise you even for something that's completely out of your control -r- So now I'm going to be working myself up and fretting about this until a decision is made, and other problems have arisen through post not arriving in time too 🙁

Finally have my actual psychiatrist appointment tomorrow and I'm freaking out already. Tempted just to bring a notepad and write down answers to any questions to avoid having to talk to a new person. My mum agreed to take me to a big independent pet shop near us (they have a lot of animals you can pick up and pet just walking around the shop, as well as parrots and things) to calm me down and give me something to look forward to after, but now I'm really nervous about that too because of thinking it might make me upset about Moffin and make me burst into tears in the middle of the shop. So just generally crazily anxious, would usually take a few extra diazepam to get some sleep (not endorsing abuse of prescription drugs in any way, it's something I used as a coping mechanism but I've been told tonnes of times to stop it) but they've all been confiscated by my care team and now I just get given an allowance of one per day each morning so I feel helpless.
