Things are Beginning to Suck

My first day at the new job was okay. The second day made me want to kill myself. The third day made me want to join the rambling bums on the street and spend the rest of my days as a soap box prophet

i can kinda relate, i realize how great i had it in the dorms, just kicking back with friends and girlfriend no real worries, all jobs lie about the workload and i'm not myself at my job either cause i can't be, i'm customer service me, and my work schedule has been killin me the past few months to the point where i'm tired during the workdays and sleeping my weekends away and my friends are in the living room but i'm too tired to hang, for you its a lot scarier i imagine cause you're far away, if you really wanna be there then stick it out and if you can't then it's okay i'm sure you'll come back to open arms from friends/family, most importantly you should be yourself though, be yourself till you bleed then keep going, fuck em

I'm glad you can relate, because sometimes I feel selfish and feel like I'm the only person in this position, but I know working long and hard is fact of life, especially once you enter the reality of your post-college life.

I'm not the kind of person to put on airs about myself, but I feel like I don't have the time or energy to be myself even. The hours are slowly breaking me. I worry that I'm losing that feeling of wonder and excitement about life, and losing my childhood belief in fate and magic. But I know it's mostly attitude. Like any other part of me, I have to exercise those feelings to keep them sharp.

Growing up sucks, but I'm glad I have plenty of company :).

yeah i'm puttin off growin up as much as i can, workin at a casino helps me stay immature, but i just bought my first car, you gotta be a weekend warrior at least, pursue interests, make friends, be your hawt blonde self, if you're a disillusioned youth you're never alone puddin pop

You can handle this. It's a huge adjustment and it's going to take some time and maybe things will shift a bit. You'll settle into work and start being yourself more and more.
