theidolhands asks: Have you ever had to train your replacement?

Did you realize that was going on at the time? Where'd they come from?

How'd it turn out?

I know I have to hold on until I can pay some big debts I have and see if I can save some money for a trip I have promised my mom all my life... but there are some moments, like right now, that I feel like I am wasting my days, that I am wasting my time being here, sitting in front of a computer, in a room lit just by lamps, without exploiting my creativity and talents, every day, for 10 hours a day. Almost half my day!

I feel like I shouldn't be here. That I should do something else. That I am just wasting my time and going nowhere.

I'm not expecting an answer or advice, I just wanted to share this with somebody.


So goodnight, dear void.

Seriously, I need a new job that will not cause me to break down and wanna destroy things. Or kill people for that matter.

I've gotten over the fact that you will never cross train me and I'll be stuck in my current position until I quit. Fine. And it's bad enough I have to stand on my feet for 6 hours straight without a single break because we're fast food. Fine. But ffs when my shift ends at 5pm, I expect to be on my way home by 505pm, not 515 or 530pm because I have to wait for my 'relief'. You know something, just close the window for however long my 'relief' is taking. The customers are still getting served, just a little bit slower.

And you people wonder why I bitch and complain and tell you 'oi, it's 5pm, let's go, people'. Maybe cause I hurt very badly.

1. Have you usually given 2 weeks notice when you've quit your jobs? Why/why not?

2. Have you kept in touch with any former co-workers after you or they leave the job?

3. What's your ~dream~ job?
