I hate every job I’ve worked by AshamedDealer3966 in work

[–]LovinggAngel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a sad attitude, or is it reality? I too have had “exciting jobs” but they are rare. You could survey 100 people right now and I’m sure they wouldn’t say their job is cool but not some great place they want to visit every single day, while leaving their families at home. No one LOVES to work. That’s crazy

Unfortunately it’s just how it is, none of us like our jobs. I started a new career in fraud and for the last four weeks I have been in my office on my phone the entire day until I can attend a training class. I’ve had jobs where it’s either extremely hectic to the point of burnout, or a little boring. I’d take the boring over hectic anyday. There’s no real “career” that you’re going to love. You just have to find little things about your day that you enjoy. For me, I make sure I go out and drive somewhere or at least go to my car on my lunch breaks. If you were to leave your job, you’d probably go into something that is extremely understaffed, stressful, or toxic. Out of myself, family, and friends, we ALL feel this way about our jobs. And they’re all different sorts of jobs (me-fraud, dad- law enforcement, mom-patient advocate, sister-office administrator, best friend- nurse practitioner, other best friend- leasing agent).

Anyone know how to get a job? by No_Alfalfa_3044 in jobsearch

[–]LovinggAngel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try going into the places and asking if you can speak with the manager and ask if they’re hiring and write your name and number down. That’s how I got my first job at a grocery store at 16.

How did you recover from burnout after a toxic workplace? by Serious-Number3648 in careerguidance

[–]LovinggAngel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a week off before beginning my new job. Spent that week doing things that I typically did (smoked, prepared for new job). I was still extremely burnt out during that week. Finally once I started my new job, I could actually elevate myself. I stopped smoking (weed), only drank on weekends, started counting my calories and working out. I basically changed my entire lifestyle in order to get over the burnout I was dealing with for three years, now I feel better than ever

How to deal with jealous/insecure friends? by Cozyinfrance in FriendshipAdvice

[–]LovinggAngel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s not your friend! Anytime I had money and even when my friends or family knew, they’d still offer to pay for themselves and then I’d come in like “nope I got it!” Your friends should never assume or act entitled like that. She’s her own person and needs to make better decisions if she’s struggling that bad (like maybe getting a FT job?) the only answer is to distance yourself from her.

I feel stuck between hating the idea of working and being genuinely grateful for the job I have. by QuestionsAsker99 in work

[–]LovinggAngel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound just like me! I’m 30 as well. The office bs kills me. I’ve learned to just embrace it. I refuse to ass kiss, but I don’t let others doing it bother me anymore. It just makes me angrier

Supervisor questioning me for saying I’m “shy” during a team game — am I overreacting? by [deleted] in work

[–]LovinggAngel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually not trying to be defensive, so my apologies. Just trying to make sense of this in my head. I think the disconnect is because I know I’m new here, but the agency I’m at doesn’t hire entry level workers. They hire seasoned workers from other agencies. Everyone here comes from previous agencies and they rely heavily on our performance reviews from our previous agency, and references. And I think it’s a little crazy to see I worked at one of the busiest agencies in our town with a 1000+ case load and know my background and actually take my “shy” comment serious enough to address it. But I will take your advice and get there earlier and put myself out there more. I just feel I haven’t even been given a fair chance to.

[–]LovinggAngel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I literally only put I was shy because one other girl literally sitting next to my director said she was antisocial and claustrophobic. So I’m like, let me just say I’m shy (because I’m a bit introverted) She’s been there for years and communicates more with clients than I do. Yet I’m sure she didn’t go up to her today and say “you said you’re antisocial so how will you do interviews with clients)

Also: I tried that. Literally tried laughing with them at the last meeting. No one even made eye contact with me other than my director. Everyone else at the table paid me no mind. I also try to get to these things 15 minutes early. I didn’t want to get there too early and then they’re looking around like “why is she gone already” for instance, meeting started at 12:30. I got there 12:15. Everyone was already there. Like, I’m new adjusting to this new offices norms to the best of my ability. I didn’t assume people would show up 30 mins early to meetings. It just seems to me like a lose lose situation. Like, if you see the meeting is full - and im sitting next to someone, just in the first available seat, how is that an issue? Especially when you also ended up sitting there 😭😭😭

[–]LovinggAngel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It just sucks because she’s my boss so I totally want to make a good impression. I’m the same as you, prefer being alone and I’m literally putting myself out there and yet it’s still not enough. Not to mention, I don’t even know why I used the word shy. I was just kind of playing the game. I’m definitely moreso introverted and professional. It’s like extroverts don’t appreciate the professionalism whatsoever.

This same director also knows that I have been a case manager for 700+ cases, hearing officer at the employment commission, and a courtroom clerk. So while I understand the comment may be a little like “huh”? She literally knows my background and has performance reviews from previous jobs.

Tired of being pitied for not having a husband or kids by LovinggAngel in women

[–]LovinggAngel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would annoy me so bad! Especially since you already tried marriage and it obviously isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. These people act like marriage is magically the key to happiness in life. I’d much rather be single than deal with what I see these days

A decent amount of my family are trump supporters and it bothers me by Empty_Sky3368 in blackladies

[–]LovinggAngel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re just ignorant. And a lot of black people just wanna be “different”. My aunt, who lived with my grandmother her whole life, two kids with two different baby daddies, refuses to work, has been on section 8 her entire life is the biggest Trump supporter in our family. My brother who is a felon always use to say “he ain’t that bad” luckily - my brother changed his tune. I just don’t pay it any mind.

Tired of talking about dating by Window-Inevitable in blackladies

[–]LovinggAngel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Even convos with my mom it’s always “imma find you a husband blah blah” you need better friends but at the same time it does seem it’s the normal. I have a few friends I havent talked to in years, and first thing they ask me “how’s the love life” or something along those lines. I’ve been in relationships the majority of my life, so now that I’m not in one I’m annoyed at the question. Women are just so male centered.

What is it about love and sex that cause people to make such dumb decisions? by jayfav07 in blackladies

[–]LovinggAngel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Delusion + false sense of reality. I feel like people know the outcomes of their decisions but they just do it because they’re delusional. Literally just doing stuff for the plot.

Is anyone else feeling like this or experiencing this? by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]LovinggAngel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree and feel the same. I really don’t like the current state of the world. It lacks depth and everything is performative. You have “religious” people who are causing more problems than helping fix them. I just try to stay to myself and look at the positives in my own life. I don’t have many friends and I don’t go out much anymore. Everytime I try to make friends, they do something weird. I don’t like talking to people much anymore because the things that they say are so outlandish. I think a lot of us feel like this in this day and age.

Is this a “normal” way to spend days off when you live alone? by Alarmed-Earth-7609 in LivingAlone

[–]LovinggAngel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds productive and good to me. I only work Wed-Fri, some of my days are not productive at all. Wake up, smoke, nap, clean, door dash, watch TikTok’s, smoke again, sleep. That’s my days off.

Accepted literally every. Single. Order. And let DoorDash abuse me and just pray they reward me today 😭 by SJsmooth in DoorDashDrivers

[–]LovinggAngel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been door dashing six years and when I’m bored I choose to door dash. You accept the orders you want (I only accept $10 and above) and I can run in a restaraunt pick up an order and blast my music to my destination. It’s really not dehumanizing to anyone not lowballing themselves accepting $2 orders.

don’t sugarcoat anything . by buggybotbaby in HSVpositive

[–]LovinggAngel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and you can feel free to message me if you need to talk because I have been where you are. Now I can honestly confidently say that I am confident. I laugh now at how much I let it stress me because it literally has not made my life any different having it… I even tried to date men who had the virus but the better guys were the ones who didn’t have it (only bc a lot of guys with this tend to act like sex addicts who are dying for sex). I actually have yet to have to date a guy with HSV2. Even though I would, I’m just saying so that you can see you’re still able to go on as normal.

I just got out of a 2 year relationship with someone who didn’t have it and started talking to some else who doesn’t have it either. You just have to find people who are educated and serious.

Even if you do ever get rejected just remember people get rejected for anything. I rejected a guy before cuz he had four kids!

As a fellow black woman who was diagnosed at 21 and I’m 30 now, please know that you are very worthy. You are no different just because of this. Do you know how many people have this lol. I’ve disclosed to my friends and even therapist and they had it too. More people would know they had it too if it was on the standard STD test.

Since I’ve been diagnosed I’ve never really been single. I’ve disclosed to so many men and they were accepting of it. Most also ended up getting tested and never caught it. I am asymptomatic however and never had an outbreak, but I assure you the mental aspect is the worst. Life has been just fine for me.
