Life update: Work edition

[quatrina]

I fail so hard at using this journal, possibly partly because I always doubt whether anyone still pays attention to livejournal, or actually cares what the heck I'm up to. But I guess I should put something up now and then to let people know I'm alive or something? I don't even know

That sounds like quite the hectic task to take on all of sudden. I hope your boss does hire someone soon so you don't have to be the only where there all of time.

I hate talking on the phone too, but sometimes my job does require it. I'm usually the one that has to initiate the calls too, so I'm never sure what response I'm going to get.

Calling people is the worst! I agonize over what I'm supposed to say, and sometimes I have to leave messages and I feel even more awkward talking to a machine and ugggh phones are dumb. And talking to angry customers? Maaaan I don't even know how to deal with the nice ones!

Hi there! I still peek at LJ on occasion. (Also, I deleted my tumblr...)

Congrats on the job, but that's too bad it became much too hectic. I hope you can catch a break--working 6 days a week is harsh. If you're working over 40 hrs a week, is he at least paying you overtime?

Good luck with Christmas shopping. : )

I was wondering where you disappeared to! I missed you actually :D;

I wonder about that...he's paying me, but I don't know if it's anything more than just the regular rate for the hours I work...man.

Today was the worst since he didn't show up at all and had to send his wife who didn't really know how to do much of anything in to help me while he stayed home sick. That was 8 and a half hours of almost constant production work with no break at all and machines breaking down left and right ugggh I'm lucky I didn't break down until after I got home to find nobody had cooked dinner and the sink was full of dirty dishes. I still feel a little like dying. I wonder if I can make it through tomorrow, haha.

I missed you too. ;___; Also your livestreams! Tumblr just got too annoying and time-consuming for me, so I deleted mine one day.

Hm, that might be something to check on. If he's doing something illegal according to your state law, that's plenty of reason to have a talk and try to have your hours reduced to 40, and if not, make sure he pays you overtime. Maybe the overtime pay will motivate him to actually hire someone else. I hope your boss is fairly approachable....

8.5 straight hours without a break, wtffff I hope you had food nearby?

Aww. One of my friends did that once, but then she came back. I guess she's pickier about who she follows now too XD

My boss has offered me time off! I'm the one who for some reason feels too guilty to take it! It's pretty ridiculous actually but with all those unpaid holidays coming up I feel even more like I should just stick it out until at least January.

haha nope I barely got to even sit down all day.
