Life...well, life just sucks sometimes

[ravenmist7]

So, our little store seems to be falling apart. People are unhappy. We've lost two employees during the week. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm trying to be optimistic about it, but I can't keep going. But, Barnes and Nobles is hiring and they may have a couple manager spots open so I'm going to bring in my resume and the application on Sunday.

If I were you I would totally leave for Barnes and Nobles, but then I love books more than games. And at least you'd still be able to get a discount at Gamestop. I know I miss having the discounts at both places from when I worked at Gamestop. Now I just wait for Borders coupons. The only downside is that bookstores are open later than most other stores. But another thing I like about working at bookstores is how nice and neat and organized books can be, much easier to keep up with them than say used games.

Thanks. Yeah, the hours are a lot stranger, but that would leave me more time to go to class. I love my video games, but I think I need a change of scenery. Even today things were a mess. Our new manager doesn't know how to read the availability sheet and keeps working us on days we can't work and then he gets angry because he has to change the schedule. Sorry, not my fault.
We'll see what happens.

It really sounds like you are under a lot of stress...take it easy. =/ Hopefully things will work out.

Thanks Janet. Ya know, I've never had this much stress from work before. We'll see what happens. Hopefully 2010 will be better.

I feel like so many of my friends are beyond what I could possibly be and I'm still in the sidelines trying to get a play.

I feel the same exact way. Many people I went to high school with all seemingly are going on with their careers and I have yet to start one. I've yet to start much of a life, too--still financially dependent to an extent, still at home, no car, etc. I finally get a job, but it's nothing close to where I want to be and not even permanent. This week particularly, I had more anxiety attacks than I've had in years.

When you're down here in FL, we really need to set a day to hang out. Unfortunately I only have the weekend, so I hope if you have the opportunity we can spend a Saturday together or something. And the offer about rooming with us for Anime Festival Orlando still stands. ::hugs:: Things will get better. I would totally go with Barnes & Noble, too.

YES, we need to get together next time I'm in FL. We need to have a "pity me" drink or something. lol. I will try for AFO, definitely. I just don't know where I'll be by then. But I'll try!!

Glad I'm not the only one with anxiety problems. I just feel so messed up. I've never been this low before. I'm anxious to hear what my therapist has to say next week.

We shall see what happens.
