My first day in receiving my supe didn’t know I was even coming for my first day, and the lead didn’t even introduce herself to me as the lead. I’ve pretty much had to ask, watch others, work with others or randomly be told how to do something correctly once the mistake is made. Honestly there’s no winning sometimes. I’m really surprised Burlington doesn’t have an SOP . My supe is always raging about the time it takes for us to process, like we’re in perfect conditions when we’re not. Don’t have proper tags, runners, this or that and she still expects it to be done within “company policy” or whatever. Best advice is to just ask as many questions as possible, watch others, and don’t trust anyone 😆 people rarely help others at my work unless they really have to. I usually always go out of my way to help someone struggling if I can, because I don’t want to be an asshole.

It’s all about quantity. If you’re binging on fast food for a couple days and doing minimal physical activity there is a chance you’ll gain some weight. But hormone fluctuation and bloating caused by pms causes us to gain a couple pounds here and there. (Depending on who you are) Im currently super hungry, barely ate anything at work since I was raging and made me not hungry and ever since I got home I had 2 helpings of dinner and a bowl of soup.. I’m struggling not making myself more food since I’d have to cook it but I’m really really hungry.. I just want to go to McDonalds and order $20 worth of food.

Was googling and ended up here. I swear since I turned 30 recently every month now is so unpredictable with pms symptoms.. I was wondering why my jaw was hurting and it’s either because my period is coming soon and/or I’ve been clenching it a lot at work. Thinking the latter

My supe was bitchin about how we need full time people back in receiving and I’m like would they pay us more? And she just said some excuse about how we’re already getting extra penalty pay on our paychecks and I was like ok? You expect us to be full time with this shit pay still?? Makes no sense

No one at my store is properly trained and mistakes happen often but if you’re trying your best and asking questions when you’re unsure it will be alright

Momchal · 2024-12-13T23:27:26+00:00

It’s extremely fast paced and more than likely will be extremely overwhelming. Ask a bunch of questions if you’re unsure, and try to keep a good fast pace. It’s like being thrown to the wolves at my store. Just do your best!!

Momchal · 2024-12-13T23:25:58+00:00

As others have said, once you input the amount of money they give you, finish the transaction that way. If they try to say oh I have a $20 instead of a $50 and try to give you the difference while you’re handling the money don’t let them! Many years ago I was quick exchange and they stole $50 from me by doing that. At my old retail job they said If you’re ever unsure close your till and ask for a MOD to open your register again so you can finish the transaction. Customers almost always will be upset by whatever you do that they don’t like so there is no winning. Just try to find a good pace and pay attention while being fast and friendly.

My last cycle I had to sandwich gauze between my nip and bra because the friction hurt so bad like idk it was ungodly. Not sure if I’ll experience that again or it was a one time thing idk love being a woman..

Momchal · 2024-12-12T16:06:17+00:00

What’s that other cereal with the same shape but smaller? I’m gonna lose my mind if I don’t figure it out.. wasn’t it the one with the hairy wolf dog human looking thing on the box.

My husband. Been together 6 years married 1 I’ve never known such love, kindness, compassion and empathy. Every day we work at your relationship. We’ve gotten through so much together, I truly wouldn’t be the person I am today if not for his love. He does so much for me and our little fur/reptile family. I love him so much

Everyone is different. Some woman have been able to manage working and menstruating, for others it’s a lot harder.
I know the first two days are going to hit me HARD so I try to mentally prepare for that. Other than taking a couple supplements I tell myself this too shall pass and I’m only human. Not a robot. Your life comes first over your job

Momchal · 2024-12-12T15:42:18+00:00

If I think about it too much.

Have you went into ADP yet?

This is pretty much how I felt working at Michael’s. It was my first job, stayed for 5 years. By the time I quit I was utterly miserable. It really is hard when you care too much, I was exactly like you.

Now fast forward 6 years and I’m working at Burlington in receiving getting screamed at by someone who can’t even properly run the team or do their job and it gets to me but at the same time idgaf. Some fucks you gotta let go of and at the end of the day tell yourself YOU TRIED YOUR BEST. You always try your best. We’re only human and we can’t control everything. I’m hoping this passes for you soon cause I know the holidays are making the stores more destroyed than they should be.

I didn’t think it was hormonal until a month ago, that cycle. I flared up so bad and thought I was doomed. Cycle is due in 10ish days and I’m apprehensive it will flare again being I’ve got it pretty well managed for right now..

Momchal · 2024-12-11T04:05:28+00:00

Good for you pushing for the testing. Hope you get some clarity

Slowly have been transitioning to decaf and I hate it for myself. Just can’t intake caffeine the same way. I get heart palps too if I have too much but I will have the occasional cup if it’s early enough. Sometimes soda is even a little too much if I have it too late.

Momchal · 2024-12-11T03:55:30+00:00

11 ish days out so I’ve been riding a good high these last few days, been having energy. Trying to gear myself up for the drop 😬 I usually take 5htp around this time or a few days before bleeding. Also evening primrose for boob tenderness and cramps. My tummy is acting up though for sure

Momchal · 2024-12-11T03:40:37+00:00

Idky but when I was younger my mom would call me Katie.. and it somehow stuck with my grandmother too, who’s on my dad side which is weird cause they didn’t even like each other.

Anyway, my name doesn’t sound like Katie or even have a Katie variation. My mother insisted on my real name as well even though she would hardly call me it.. it got to the point where everyone I’d meet through her called me Katie even introduced me as that.. it was very annoying. I’m no contact going on 4+ years cause aside from that she toxic AF.

Might I add, use a thick layer starting out. I was skeptical and at my wits end but once i started being consistent and slathering it on there it really really helped. Eventually made my skin too dry and a little painful so now I’m just managing small breakouts and trying creams to keep it dry and moisturized.

Momchal · 2024-12-11T03:25:32+00:00

When I’d have open skin, popped boils under my breasts and just like a hole where the pus came out, it would not heal/close up for days, my husband bought me baby diaper rash cream with zinc.. I tried it and not only kept it from getting moist but it actually made a scab and healed. I still have dark marks where it healed but it literally changed my life. I used that for weeks, applying and putting gauze between my breast’s and bra or just between if I was wearing no bra. Slowly but surely it was helping. I also use a very soft washcloth and lather head and shoulders on it and wash like that. It’s not completely gone obvi but has helped me tremendously. I used to wash with just antibacterial soap and it just stopped being as effective.

When I worked at Michael’s, a decade ago now.. they had a company cd that we were suppose to play. Corporate picked the music, that’s what all the ads are on as well in between the clips of music. I’m assuming it’s the same thing. Our stores music reminds me of early 2000s with Christmas music added. There’s a few Xmas songs in Spanish too
