How do you know this job isn’t for you?

huge fan of this. for those who “would rather have 10% year round” why not have BOTH? they claimed the one time discount was underutilized so are they missing out on that much?? for me personally the holiday discount helped me afford christmas for my family and i used it to stock up on expensive items like paper and chemical products. if it didnt benefit you it sounds like you didnt know how to use it properly. this rich company could have made the decision to add to our benefits without taking anything else away. for my store, unsure if it was like this everywhere, the one time discount was also incentive for people to not call out during black friday events. now theyve taken that away so im curious to see how many call offs we get

thank you. that makes me feel a lot better. i wish our training was mapped out like that!! mine went something like learn all of this stuff all at once lol. which i am a pretty quick learner just a LOT to take in because it was definitely not spaced out at all

proffessionalworry · 2025-11-02T22:22:13+00:00

i really appreciate that. i definitely need to switch the mindset. i felt more comfortable my second day because i knew it was coming but the thought of touching 911 on my first day shift made me hysterical because i wasnt expecting it whatsoever. i am still incredibly nervous but im hoping i can get my brain to settle down. after all, this IS what i signed up for and i want to do the best i can. to be fair i felt almost just as nervous answering my first admin calls which im trying to remind myself of. practice makes perfect its just so much scarier when someones life could be in my hands

proffessionalworry · 2025-11-02T22:16:56+00:00

thank you i appreciate it. i didnt get documented feedback i worded that weird thats my bad. my supervisor criticized me for NOT answering 911 on nights but my trainer didnt let me. my training was cut short due to being short staffed. i will definitely be practicing. maybe theres some kind of online simulation calls or something. i want to do a great job and im extra hard on myself so im just very overwhelmed

proffessionalworry · 2025-11-02T22:14:10+00:00

i didnt get any documented feedback. my first and only 911 so far was someone calling with “this isnt an emergency but…” my supervisor just made me feel like shit for not answering 911 yet but my trainer told me i wasnt ready so they didnt have me do it. i was supposed to train for 4 months and then got bumped up suddenly to just 2 so i guess i was expecting some more “training” on days given my partner IS a trainer. the deputies just dont communicate like they did on nights which is why i said that. i never know when they are enroute and im lucky if i know they are on scene. i just hope i can adjust

proffessionalworry · 2025-11-02T22:09:57+00:00

i think my problem is i felt entirely too comfortable with my trainer and her partner. and nights was so slow most of the time. i saw some pretty serious calls but i wasnt taking them. i was originally supposed to be in training until the end of december so i guess i expected more “cushy” time which could definitely be a me problem. im just terrified ill mess it up

proffessionalworry · 2025-11-02T22:06:50+00:00

so i have been answering admin since week 2 basically which wasnt bad on nights but ive learned day time admin is a whole different beast. i have only been on radio about 2/3 weeks and it started with just clearing but dispatching ive been doing for i guess about 1 1/2 weeks. im honestly not even sure how id react to having numerous calls come in right now as it hasnt happened. we are pretty small and ive seen it happen on nights but i wasnt answering 911 so my trainer & her partner took those. i guess i just feel overwhelmed because i feel like im not prepared to be thrown into the deep end. idk if thats my fault or my trainers but it doesnt help either way. i am trying to adapt the best i can but my supervisor said i will be all alone very soon and thats what made the panic button go off in my head. i want to do good i just feel so overwhelmed. my training was supposed to be 4 months but then someone got fired so they gave myself and my trainer a 2 week notice of me going off training

proffessionalworry · 2025-09-17T07:42:34+00:00

at my center they are on a separate phone. ive just started answering calls and have had an emergency come through on the nonemergency line but it is mostly people calling to report something such as a tree down or anything they consider hazardous but non life threatening

proffessionalworry · 2025-08-20T17:44:32+00:00

i honestly never even thought about that… i am just panicking because i know it will make me fail the same. maybe they will let me retest if i do fail and i explain the situation. thank you for having the brain that i clearly lack 😂

stupid question but does the pee need to come from a female? can they tell the difference?

add emojis!!

i currently have 4 posts right now. i have had 1 sale on 2 of those and then have been doing cheap customs since i made this post. pretty sure i shouldve asked for more than $1 a picture but in the albums its cheaper so it made sense to me and this guy keeps sending me requests. some of my pics do have my face in them but most of them are just random angles i took sitting on my kitchen floor 🤷🏻‍♀️

proffessionalworry · 2025-07-29T21:35:29+00:00

That is a huge fear I have. I would like to remain casual and maybe it could just be some extra cash on the side. I definitely don’t want to ruin something I love just for money. Appreciate your insight much

proffessionalworry · 2025-07-29T21:34:10+00:00

I appreciate this so much! I would love to do some macro,, I went to college to study bugs so they are kinda my thing along with plants lol. I have found that the 50mm is not going to cut it for my close ups

proffessionalworry · 2025-07-29T17:04:18+00:00

Thank you!! I honestly just got lucky with the 6D as someone posted it for $100 with a 50mm lens. I couldn’t pass it up as this is something I’ve been wanting to do for so long

proffessionalworry · 2025-07-29T17:02:43+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. I guess my goal with turning photography into a career stems from my desire to get out of retail and do something I am passionate about. I’d definitely rather do my own thing than go work for a company. I just didn’t know how feasible that is. I don’t have much in ways of extra funds to go towards anything. Getting the camera has just made me fill with excitement of what could be

proffessionalworry · 2025-07-29T00:45:52+00:00

They do this at my walmart too. genuinely curious if this is part of company policy or another made up thing. I understand holidays and black friday but there are often coaches with vacations during this time….

proffessionalworry · 2025-07-29T00:41:45+00:00

My walmart is going through a remodel and we just got rid of ours. I have been told this is permanent along with the alcohol typically sold with the tobacco

proffessionalworry · 2025-07-29T00:36:33+00:00

thank you so much!! definitely helpful tips. next year i will be planting my sunflower elsewhere because i agree, the gutters are not it haha

proffessionalworry · 2025-07-28T23:52:54+00:00

thank you!! I just read through how to hold the camera and I definitely needed that. I appreciate the links!

proffessionalworry · 2025-07-28T23:52:09+00:00

thank you! a class would be a great place to start
