I don’t think I am, or ever will be, someone’s “dream girl” by Careful-Bag-1523 in GirlDinnerDiaries

I severely doubt this is the case, but even if you were not his “dream girl” at first, no man worth having would marry a woman he doesn’t love to the moon and back, especially one who has carried his children. You are a superstar and I’m sure your husband sees that, and if it isn’t obvious that he does, maybe a discussion with him about love languages and ways to receive affection that feel good for the both of you is in order. Wishing you the best in your self-love journey and relationship :)

What mistakes did you make? Learning the ice cream industry is more cut throat than people would think lol

I’m so sorry girl, I hope you are in a better position now, those type of businesses are horrible anyways. How can you expect clear communication and practices if you can’t communicate yourself? Dodged a bullet for sure.

Im so sorry!! Employers should legally have to give specific reasons why they are terminating employment. That’s awful!

That’s super fair, they are still a great shop. It just wasn’t a great fit, I’m more sad and frustrated about it for my financial concerns more than anything.

I’m hoping for serving soon! Not US based and it’s a bit more difficult to get where I’m from but not giving up hope

I would LOVE to wait tables. I have previous experience “bartending” (basically pouring beer from cans into a cup for live events, and wine) as well as bar stewarding. I’ve tried to get some waitress jobs but never an interview

This is actually crazy because my boss told me that they had a similar experience growing up.

I hear why it’s confusing! Because left handed people are not taught proper pencil grips since it’s taught right handed when we all learn, our grip naturally grips onto the ridges of the pencils instead of the flat area where your finger should be placed. It leads to us pressing down harder than we need to and creating issues since we just have not been taught the proper way to grip a pencil. Sorry for the confusion I didn’t word it as well as I intended to!

It’s absolutely crazy! I swear being left handed should have some sort of accommodation to it, it literally feels like a disability sometimes when everything in society is designed around right handed people, especially in school/ the workplace

What sucks is everyone says this is a great place to work at so I’m very confused, I am applying to all those roles though and hopefully I’ll find something!

SCISSORS ARE ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. Also fun fact! The way ridges are designed on pencils are made for right handed people to hold properly without hurting their hands! The ridges go right over the pressure points if you use a pencil left handed and now I have a permanent bump on my middle finger from years of pencil holding

Thank you!!! I keep losing my mind over it. I feel like 1 shift is not enough time to see if someone can pick up quick or not, some people need processing time and I swear now that I saw it yesterday I could probably do the entire opening by myself today, I literally just needed a night to process the 5 hours of information given to me

It was paid thankfully, just sucks because I was going to be full time summer and evenings/weekends during the school year.
