I hope you guys have had a good week so far, if not lets talk about it. My week has been okay so far...

    Hello everyone!! I hope you have been doing well through the week, but if your week has been rough, let's talk about it, what do you think?!

     My week though has been good to me in some way, yet rough not work wise in any way though. Just mostly stressed because I have not been able to pay my phone bill let alone rent! Since from my last job I was fired. It took a long while to find a new job, where I work at now which is Dunkin Donuts. Last we talked about me getting hired at Dunking Donuts now last we talked. But anyway, since I got hired there it was late March that I got hired. I am liking working at Dunking so far. 

    Lately I have been feeling stressed because, I have been unable to pay this months' rent, and the month is coming to an end now, and next month I will be extremely late on rent that the whole next check will be towards rent for both months (March & April) and still be late on rent for both months and that will not include my cell phone bill. I am feeling too stressed because I am not sure what will happen next, I just hope I do not get a notice to evacuate my apartment to the point I become homeless, which god forbid does not happen. I do not want to be a person without housing, I really do not as I have worked hard to be where I am. I am not sure what to do at this moment anymore, to make enough money to pay rent and/or cellphone bill. Food wise what I am able to do is just eat what I am able to eat while I am at work, and what little I have at home such as ramen, some crackers, of course cannot forget about drinking water even if is from the tap. 

    I have been thinking on getting a second job, but at the moment I am not quite used to waking up as early as I am to get ready for work and get Toby out to the patio area where I live to go potty. At the moment I have been unable to do UberEATS deliveries for extra money since I have been unable to pay for my cellphone bill. But you bet your booty that as soon as I get used to my current work schedule at Dunkin Donuts, I may be looking for a second job, perhaps a part-time one, as long as they are willing to work with my schedule that I have, as I said though, I just need to get used to my work schedule that I have at Dunking Donuts. Hopefully, having two jobs wont mess with my Diabetes in any way to the point it makes my blood sugars severely low. to the point I need to call the ambulance for myself. We will see what happens as soon as I get myself situated first. Though I have been looking at some small locally owned restaurants that are close to me that perhaps may be hiring. I may have to look around those and submit applications to those restaurants, and hopefully they are willing to work with me and my schedule at Dunking Donuts, but for that I will have to do it on my next days off which will be during the week which is good. Submitting applications in person I like doing it during the week on business days, rather than the weekends. As I feel is best because if there is any small locally owned restaurant or shop that accepts applications in person is best during the week rather than the weekend as the owner/s can get to meet me and see me in person of course, and perhaps give me an interview right then and there, which is always best, but as everyone knows, everywhere applications are now submitted online rather than in person, like it used to be way back when, because then you had the best chances to get an interview right then and there and if you were lucky enough get the job the same day, but if you were that lucky you were able to start the same day if not the day after, unless they told you hey go to so and so place and get the background check and drug test and you start such and such day.   

    But what has been happening in the world now, everything has to be online. A lot has changed from when I grew up back in the19 90's and early 2000's. I miss those days, I am 34 and trust me a whole lot has changed so, so much has changed is crazy how the world has changed in so many ways. What made it worse in some way the Covid-19 pandemic thing that made everything everywhere go up in price. Now no one can afford to put gas on their cars let alone buy a damn house. It's ridiculous how expensive everything is now. Even rent went up like crazy! I dislike it so very much just as much as the next person, but what are we able to do about it???

    Well, enough about me and my rants about me being penniless and unable to afford rent at the moment and how the world has gone crazy. Talk to you guys next time, be safe, stay well. 

Don't forget you are wanted & worth it!

                                        With Love,

I would like your opinion…

    Ok, so I got interviewed and about two days later I got a call back that I was hired at a different place, that of course pay is better than what I am getting paid right now. I am lucky enough I got a call back from the new place (casino) but I do not know how to go about giving my two weeks at my current job. What can I say to them? What would be the best way to give the two week notice? What would you say in this situation. I like my current job but not for a long term. I do not see my self doing what I do for a long time at all. Do not give me wrong, it’s a fast paced job some good coworkers and all, but my mental health and health in general was not do so good. Management could do better than what they are, by no means at all am I an amazing person or employee at all, but I believe that if they had trained me better or even trained me at all, I would not had been looking for another job at all in the first place. I’m just assuming anyone who doesn’t feel comfortable or even welcomed or appreciated at work wouldn’t last too long at all.

   I just want to be a nice person and and give my two weeks notice because the just in case if I ever need a job back. I just do not know how to go about it though. What would you say to your employer. I’m not going to miss working at the food court at all whatsoever, it was a good learning experience of what I DO NOT want for my life at all. If anything it thought me that I cando better and to finish my education for a better life for my self and a better job than what I’m doing with my life right now. I regret not taking advantage of all the opportunities I had when I was younger. 

   I would love to talk more with you all, i have to get ready for work right now. I’ll talk to you all next time. You all be safe out there.

I need your honest opinion….

      How’s everyone doing these days, I know I’ve had shit days at work, just like any else, but late love had those thoughts where, I just want to quit my job on the spot, get my shit and go and not look back. Even telling off my managers, and how there not doing there job and all that jazz. But what do I know right?!? I’m just a regular employee who has to follow the rules and help when is needed. If I haven’t mentioned it before to you guys, I have Type One Diabetes, I have another blog where I talk about Diane and all. I’ll link it somewhere around in case you wanna go take a peak and read around if you want. ANYWAY!! As I was mentioning before, I’ve had quite a few low blood sugars at work, and in one of those rare days where I had an extreme low at work, I grabbed my things and went home. I was confused I didn’t even know where I was, before grabbing my things and walking away from work. When I wanted to go back it was too late I had jumped in the bus on my way to my house. I was half ways home so I couldn’t go back, anyway my manager texted me asking where I was. All I could think in the moment as a reply to him was ‘my blood sugar was low almost a seizure. Sorry’ which I almost did had a seizure because of my low blood sugar. I felt bad for doing that, because I didn’t know how to ask for help at that moment, but at the same time it felt great.

      Other times it’s in the spur of the moment where I have those moments where I’m on my lunch break and I think to my self ‘this is the perfect time where I could just go, and they won’t really care I’m clocked out for the lunch brea, thing they make us do anyway…so they won’t care.’ But at the same time, I don’t do it because who the heck is going to pay for my bills it’s not me. Without a job I can’t pay my bills. 

      I wish sometimes it was that easy to find a job where I don’t have to deal with too much people, idiots and Karen’s. Because that’s what makes most jobs where you have to deal with the public suck. Having much experience with customer service, I can write you a book of how much shit I’ve had to deal with over the years. Specially working as a cashier at gas stations and convenience stores. It’s not the physical aspect of the job that bothers me I can deal with it that’s fine. It’s having to deal with nasty people everyday that makes it ugly , mentally draining, the Karen’s making me question my shit sometimes. Weather I should punch her on the boobs, or the nasty faces she/he makes when complaining about how she/he doesn’t like how I wear the cap at work or how I’m even looking at her in a condescending way, making them uncomfortable or some shit, or just because they don’t like how I look, which is pretty dumb of you ask me.

      My current job I like it I really do, as I said before doing the physical job about it doesn’t bother me at all, it’s the stress, the mental stress, and on top of that dealing with people who complain about every single thing is what drains my whole being, because there has been days where I don’t want to deal with that at work. It makes me emotionally exhausted, to the point that I just want to quit the job at the restaurant and go back to the gas station, at least I had help there. The manager helped more than anything else, unlike at the restaurant, the managers don’t do shit, to help us. Or at least me personally, I never really had any training at all, I learned everything on my own and by looking at everyone else doing it. No formal training at all. Which is not okay specially from a restaurant. At least at the gas station I was trained for two weeks. But not at my current job where I was thrown to the wolf’s from day one, let me figure shit out on my own. Which is not okay at all as I said. That’s why I’m looking for another job before I quit the one I have right now, or perhaps I’ll just go back to the gas station, who knows.
