The General Rant/Bitch/Moan Thread.

Well I can understand making the sandwiches and new doughnuts, but she just wasn't interested because I've never worked on a food line before or have cash register experience. So that means if they did hire me, heaven forbid they would have to teach me how to use something for one day. Oh no. The horror of it all. I think she is just being a witch because she wants things done her way. Either that or she didn't like the way I was dressed.

^^What were you wearing?

She'll be here in just over two months.

Due to having no source of income I'm way behind on my child support and rent. I'm $1,000 in the hole right now as I write this.

I'm so beyond stressed. When she's here I want it to be everything she deserves but unless something changes and soon I don't know what the hell is going to happen.

She booked her flight today and I'm super happy about that but now I'm also still so worried about the aforementioned stuff.

I know you're panicked. I would be too. Wish I had an actual helpful idea for you.

Keep as cool a head as you can, and keep looking for job openings. Things never stay the same -- each day brings the possibility of something new opening up.

I just applied for a spot as director of a nonprofit art gallery in a town 40 mins. away... it would be the most senior position I've ever held, so I'm pretty nervous. (Found it on craigslist.)

Heh, yeah they hate to train! I had a job at a bookstore years ago -- get this -- where there was no staff manager (just a customer service mgr. who wasn't willing to train). So no one trained me for my position as "supervisor" of my dept. So I was never elevated from training wage! I stayed there all of 2 wks. before giving notice.

Hope you find something *much* better in your job search!

I was wearing black dress pants with a charlotte russe black and red stripped shirt with a V neck. The only tacky thing I was wearing was my tennis shoes. But they are black and red addidas that look brand spanken new. Wtf? Was I supposed to wear a ball gown and heels?

My internet is slow

There was nothing wrong with that outfit. Outside of an office position, it's work-friendly.

My rant: I'm fighting a lot of anxiety today. I applied for a position that might be over my head (director of a nonprofit art gallery); don't know if I can do it, and they'll prob. reject me anyway since I've got no car. My feet are hurting more than usual (bunions) -- I'm hoping it's just temporary since I'm wearing my boots more often, b/c I really can't afford more surgery. And speaking of feet, part of the sole of my sneaker fell off today -- I use those to get to work, so it's kind of like a punctured tire for me. Can't really afford new sneakers... time to budget really tight.

Arrgh. I'm all knotted up inside!

^^Aw Red Angel...I'm sorry tyou're having a crappy day. It's early yet, I hope the day gets better for you.

Damn bunions! When I had my bunion surgery in May, my health insurance paid for the entire procedure, minus the surgical shoe, which was only $17 (I've yet to pay them. LOL). I guess your insurance is different.

Sorry about your sneaker. Can you glue to sole back on, or take it to a shoe repair place?

In the same boat as a lot of you - job hunting. It's stressful, doubly so because I'm looking for work in an area I'll only be living in once I HAVE a job.

Hugs for my fellow unemployed DR-ers. I think we'll all get through this

I've been feeling gloomy since yesterday and i don't know why. I haven't got the energy or desire to do anything. I've been hiding in my office at work all day, avoiding any interaction with anyone. I just want to roll up into a ball somewhere.

^^I hope you feel better.

My rant is I'm tired of stupid people asking the same stupid questions over and over in class when the question was already answered. They just can't stop can they?

^^haha, i totally can relate to that. People just dont pay attention when they should

^^Seriously, this guy was asking a question over and over with different wording for literally 20 minutes. My teacher was being cool trying to explain it a million different ways. It isn't hard to understand. In our comparative religions class right now we are talking about hinduism. It isn't that hard to understand karma. It isn't that hard to understand reincarnation. It isn't that hard to understand they believe in other "religions gods' like jesus and others. It isn't that hard to understand that jesus is one in three with god and the holy spirit and hindu's understand that. So why the hell did he have to go on and on and on and on about these things with different wording for over 20 minutes?

^^because some people are intellectually barren

Why the hell do they give jobs to stupid people? It is a creative writing class. Not a class for you to bash my religion, bash politics, and wrongly inform everyone on how nazi's, politics, and countries work. If you could keep your uneducated crap to yourself that would be great. Thanks.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^ Must be work, right?

Hey, why is work sucking for so many of us?

Not sure. But maybe one day in the future it will be great.
But for right now I want to punch someone in the face.
I loathe my job. One of my co-workers quit. And good for her. IT's not worth going in for 6 hours a week (3 hours for 2 days) But what do I find out??
The 2 people who are already there for 5 days a week (4 hours a day) get her hours.
So myself and the other poor girl who works 2 days a week didn't get them.
Wouldn't it be FAIR to have those hours given to the 2 who are working there the least.....like me??? WTF!!!

^^ Arrgh -- that would p!ss me off too! I remember 10 yrs. ago applying for a job at a bookstore (I posted about this crappy position last night, in fact) and requesting full-time hours. I was available every day except Saturday, and of course they gave me grief about that. And then they scheduled me 8 hrs. a week. Yeah, that's slightly fewer than 40! But then, this was the place that didn't have an acting manager, so what could I expect?

I really hope you can find something better, Moon, and sooner rather than later.

Moon I think you should go to the supervisor and complain. This isn't fair and they need to know that you are unhappy with them being unfair.

No kidding.
I keep telling myself that it's no biggie. Keep my head up and deal.
I'll keep looking for a new job and put up with that one in the mean time. But they keep throwing punches at me. I'm trying really hard to be more positive about things.
The bike riding is paying off I was told. Eating better. I was gonna start the new year with a new attitude. But they are making it really hard for me.

DCGG, I don't think it matters.
The 2 who are getting special privileges have a connection with the principal. In the end she calls the shots.
The 2 food services teachers are technically our supervisors. They can make changes as they see fit. Lord knows the co-worker I hate the most won't go anywhere cause her sister-in-law is the superintendent of the school board.
I'll shut up now

Moon, I really hope you're spending your free time looking for work. You're too good to keep working at that place! Time to move on!

Boss is really irritating me today... he seriously requested this earlier: "When [the client] comes in to pick up her framing, ask her to please sit down because the framing looks so wonderful, we don't want her to fall over and hurt herself."

I wish I was making that up.

Behold his sharp sales increasing skills!
