Offtopic, I am Tired.

I am just tired. I am tired mentally. I am tired of eating the same meals over and over again. I am tired of not being able to work on my ODST cosplay. I am tired of having to do chores that my other family members should be doing. I am tired of being tired. I have been working a lot lately. I work part time at a vacation resort(this is the same place I worked last summer). I am only supposed to be part time but we are a person down because that girl went psycho( another story for another time). We should have 8 workers at full capacity. Then our manager got promoted to overseeing the entire resort. Now our new manager(she is really fun to work with btw) has to constantly be going between offices, so half the time it is like she is not even working(if you get a shift with her, you have to except her to be gone most of the time). It does not really help the situation that she is 3 months pregnant. We are all hoping she has a boy. Then we have another girl who is 8 months pregnant. Because she and one of the other girls is pregnant, the other 4 of us have to pick up slack by doing heavy lifting and working with pool chemicals. So it is just me(17), another guy(19), another girl(17) and an old lady. The old lady’s father has been having medical problems of late so we can’t rely on her that much. So us three have a lot of slack to pick up. I have worked 5 days in a row. The 17 yr old girl has worked a week straight and has had to do over time to cover the old lady. In doing so, she had a 9 hour shift without any breaks. Pretty sure that is illegal in this state. The other guy has worked 2 weeks straight(he gets called in on his days off). So we are all tired. We are all supposed to be part timers but we have been pulling +40 hour weeks. Then don’t even get me started on having to work the 4th of July. Due to all this work, I haven’t been able to do anything for me. I had today off. I had to buy a new pair of shoes because of all the walking I do at work. It was nice because I got to see one of my friends because he works at the shoe store. That was about all I could do to have fun today. So, I am gonna read Halo: Thursday War until I get too tired to read anymore and fall asleep. It is actually a really good book. But once I go to sleep, I want to try and sleep for 12 hours.

  • Jeez man, that's tough, but trust me, it only gets harder. My boss is such a little -blam!-, an example when I took off last week: the company's policy says that new employees, like myself, get a 5 days of PTO (Paid Time-Off), and 7 days of unpaid vacation days, yet when I e-mailed her, I get a response saying to come to her office. Well, when I get there she -blam!-ing screams at me about how this is my 3rd week working there and how I have no right to take off this early in my career with [[REDACTED]]. All I had to do was say the magic word when you work for a big insurance company (if anyone wonders why I'm now at an insurance company it's because I quit the old job). The magic word is, and now take note kiddos, [b]MEDIA[/b]. When someone says media, insurance companies scatter like -blam!-. But after reading my take of woe, just remember, work usually sucks, and is a pain in the ass. So just get through it and you'll do fine.

    • You might want to check with your state's working laws. If you're working 40+ hours a week you could be entitled to benefits and possibly increased pay among other things. You might find a law that prohibits your employer from making you work more than what you are scheduled and could get increased compensation for your extra working days. Just something to consider looking into. 🤗

      • This kind of stuff really puts people in a bad space. If the situation doesn't fix itself over time, then work towards changing it or I can tell you your mental state will get far worse.

        I would tell you to keep your chin up, it gets better, but honestly, that is basically all bring an adult boils down to.

        • Suffering is temporary. Keep going. It sounds like you need to have a new hire or two to release the stress and inevitable absences. Talk to whoever you can to get the hiring process started (and finished if possible) now.

          • You probably have to do this job because you need the money, but maybe should be looking for something else

            • I completely understand. Being an adult sucks. Start looking for a new job, sounds like you hate it.
