I just remembered a history project and I'm going to cry holy shit nooo
I went back on the pill. Couldn't handle the period cramps.
Also my last day at the disneystore was yesterday and everyone was so sweet and gave me loads of hugs and cake was had by all... I know it's not goodbye forever and I know it's only a mall job but like... The past year has been so emotionally rewarding and it breaks my heart to be away from them (tough financial situation at the moment I won't devulge the details) and there were so many last minute magical moments made that now when I think about it I can't help but cry. And everytime everyone outside of work asksme how my last day went I always cry when I talk about it. I still feel like I left a huge part of me there behind and I feel empty inside. And i haven't been able to rest peacefully. Second night with insomnia ...
I've tried telling myself "hey now you can get tattoos and dye your hair, be financially set at your new job, and the next time you visit the store and see people giving your Ohana shit, you can step in and cuss them out" but then I'm reminded of all the happy memories and how there won't be another job as special as Disney ;-;
Like I have the best relationship with all my cast members, even my bosses. Legit I got so many goodbye hugs that. . . :cry:
I went to read that and found a tiny spider crawling into my face
Kelly - just think of the satisfaction when you can finally swim with your tail and prove your dad wrong.
SeaGlass - sounds like you'll always have amazing memories from the Disney Store. Good luck with your new job!

Our washing machine broke down .. Ugh... Can't book a time this week because I will be gone on vacation. And we've been submitting warranty document left right and centre to our builder about cracks forming on the by the stairs because it's been cold, and other outstanding items due but no one has been responding. Can I officially say this is the worst new year ever?
Ouch.
Also the kitchen sink is busted and I still have no access to the balcony... :headdesk:
I had a realization the other day that brought me to tears. I was treating my fiancee at home the same way I get treated at work by my male coworkers (the one who does the grunt work because of my gender). Now that I am aware, I'm working on stopping it.
Great now Google deleted my gmail account :/ because of some service violation but they won't tell me how. Then they said if I want to recover my account j have to follow steps. I follow said steps and they still won't recover because my account is unrecoverable :/ bitch don't tell me I can recover my account and waste and hour of my time then
Service violation?? WTF? I would be so screwed if Google did that to me.
Except I haven't even touched my account for months so what on earth did I violate? 0-0
Like if I done a rule I'm sure they would've explained what happened but this... Nothing
Hi guyz, I'm back :) had to reevaluate where I felt placed in the community, and wanted to organize my life better. As of today, I feel better, but apprehensive.(sidenote Also, )allergies. They are killing me.
My husband and I decided to try for a baby, and we are thinking of moving out of LA to portland. I feel refreshed.
So.. here I am again to troll read through threads and reply scarcely. Haha

I spent the night at my friend's place last night and she dropped me off at work around 5:15pm since I start work at 6pm tonight. I go inside and put my stuff in my locker and go to the break room to sit and wait until it's time to clock on. I'm sitting here and I feel like I'm about to have a panic attack and burst into tears for no reason. I haven't had a panic attack since I was in high school. I called my mom and talking to her calmed me down a bit but I still feel the sensation of needing to burst into tears and panic. I really don't know if I'm able to function tonight. I just feel like I need to go home and hide in my bathroom.

Oh Noooo Imogen!!!! So sorry to hear this!!!!!
That sucks, Imogen.
And also, hugs to Kelly.
Today is the last day, I apply for an admin related role. I had the most uncomfortable and upsetting interview I've ever had!
In short, my work background is working as an office temp, so I try to look for permanent work in the administration industry. Nope! Nope! Never again after today! It has been the same type of people over and over, at every admin related job I've applied for!
Interviewer reads my resume and asks me why I like working in admin. I start off by talking about how when I finished uni, I did not have work skills of any kind, and so joined a job agency to find work, learn new skills and gain new knowledge. And I discovered to my surprise, it was work that I could do. So I explain some more before she starts reading off my job roles... All of my work history are temporary roles I've held. They were not permanent, I finished all my job assignments before the agency gave me another one. It even says so under the title, Work History - Temporary roles held.
She then reads the job where I worked in Singapore at Kelly Services, "Oh you worked there for 3 months. Why did you leave?"
Even though I had already explained twice what temporary staff meant. We are the ones that step in when the company staff goes on leave. Whether for one day or up to 3 months (maternity leave is around 3 months, one day leave is a sick day).
I say, I left because the work assignment was over and there was nothing else suitable in terms of work or another job role.
Then she says, "You said you are a fast learner. Tell me what software you used when you were at Kelly Services?" I say, I can't disclose that information because I signed a confidential clause as we were dealing with private client details. She then had the gall to say, "How can you tell me that you are a fast learner if you can't even tell me what software you used?"
She now reads the rest of my resume out loud, and kept asking, "Why did you leave?"
Its frigging TEMPORARY you stupid cow!!! Was what I raged when I got home!
I then tell her, I've never left a job assignment midway. I finished all of them within the given time. And end with, because that's it how works when you work as temporary staff. They give you an assignment, it can be a day's work, week's worth sometimes even several months! But once the staff comes back, you finish up whatever the company has given you and you're done with that assignment. Then you move on to the next assignment that the agency gives you.
Again with, "Why did you leave?" after reading next role.
Honestly, I had no chance with this company or the lady in it. She had already fixed in her mind, before I even entered her office that I was going to leave in a few months. People like that in any industry, you have nothing to gain. They just can't get over people who've worked as temporary or casuals, who are now seeking permanent employment. They think you're going to leave when you feel like it. Stupid ass!
She then finishes the interview with, "You have the right attitude and I can see that you want to work. I like to give everybody a chance, but I can't give you that because you'll leave in a few months because you did not like it."
Grrrrraaahh! I simply cannot stand people who assume everything without bothering to find out the truth. I think I better stop now. This post is getting too long and that wasn't what I intended.
That's awful Jaffa. No fair.
Maybe you should apply for HER job in HR, because she clearly can't do it!
That sucks, but just think - do you really want to work for people like that? They might be saving your sanity in the long run! I know it can be disheartening, but don't give up! Keep going and you'll eventually get something that suits you.

What both Pearlie and LouLou said!
I honestly couldn't have done sat patiently through such an interview.
After the third repetition of a question I'd have said, "Are you listening to what I'm saying? Because I just explained that. TWICE."
Or I would have gotten up at some point saying "Thanks for wasting my time."
Possibly both.
>><<
One thing to remember whenever such nonsensical things happen: The interviewer may have had no choice but to ask the question. Its company policy to ask it, even when the interviewer knows the answer and knows its a silly thing to keep asking. But eventually the interviewer will get asked "Did you ask every question on the list, and record the answer to every one?" and they have to be able to, truthfully, say "yes".
I had some sort of account security thing come up, and in the phone call the person on the other end had to keep asking me the same security question over and over. After the sixth time, he apologized, but he still had to ask it.
When dealing with a bureaucracy, expect this. The easiest path is to just give the bureaucrats what they want, irrelevant of how silly it is.
Has anyone ordered from Lotus Leggings before?? I bought two pairs of mermaid scale leggings over a month ago and haven't seen them since. I got a shipping email with no tracking info, just that it takes 5-25 days. It's been 3 days shy of a month and nothing yet. I emailed thier support last week and was ignored, so I tried the Facebook page earlier today to no avail. Just sent support another email saying that I don't even want the stupid leggings at this point, I want my money back. That will probably be ignored too x-x Should I go to my bank to see what they can do?

Give it until the max shipping time is over with, then go to your bank. Shipping with no tracking is a red flag for sure. I just had to do the same thing with a ladies Legend of Zelda Link hoodie. The site didn't ship my order then shut down, telling their customers they were no longer in business. -_- My case with the bank is still processing.
Thank you mers for your support!Quote:

No loss to me, as I am getting a kick start to my retail career, just need help from the trainer to flesh out my retail resume a bit more.
Good luck!
Augh, that's so sketchy D: I bet the hoodie was super cute too... It's past the max shipping time (unless you only consider business days, which they didn't specify) so I'm going to my bank this week. It just sucks because I thought I had finally found affordable, cute leggings in my size, but nope...Quote:

So. We were talking about mansplaining awhile back.
My high school is fortunate enough to have a climbing gym complete with high ropes course.
It took me a few tries, but I was determined to self belay up an entry point I hadn't tried before. I managed it.
The instant I get up, the boys who were already in the air were coming from all directions to my platform; there was nowhere for me to go. So I'm squished up there with four other boys when the instructor calls time.
I let the four boys self belay down first. Two of them go to another platform to stream line the process. I was about to go but couldn't get the attention of the peoole on the ground to be my breaker. So I just wait my turn with the breaker we have. The two boys self belay down.
The breaker starts to send the tie in point and the grigri to me. Then he looks at me, starts, pulls the tie in point and the grigri back down, unclips them and just sends me the carabiner to the tie in point. He refuses to send me the grigri and gets some people to assist him in belaying me down. He refuses to let me self belay.
I'd just self belayed UP the damn entry point. Self be laying down is the SAFER part and he refused to let me do it.
I was also the only girl up today because the guys made a point of taking all the widetails.
I wanted to punch him
^ your story reminds me of an episode of Arthur where DW had to babysit the tibble twins. They were exactly like that. Hogging the toys, saying "we can do this better than you!". They are basically the terrible tibble twins.
little boys who act little boys will always remain little boys.
I'm so sick of my moms constant verbal abuse. I used to record it and if I recorded what she's saying to me currently and sent it to the police you bet your sweet ass she'd be arrested. On that note, my cat is terribly sick and my mom continues to scream at me that she's going to die. I think she'll live but it's nice to know my mom has no faith in anyone anymore. Keep her in your thoughts, she's only five. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...1e4ff61fe8.jpg
Best wishes for your kitty!
Had to rush to the vet last night with mine because someone in my house didn't pay attention.
Again
:gah:
didn't get any sleep.
by now, I feel guilty for not getting my little ones out of here sooner.
I hope she's going to be okay! :hug:Quote:

I don't know what I'd do without my little chubby bub.
