**Machias Banshee** · 09-08-2007, 01:36 PM

I can't believe how fast the summer's going by...

I was able to get online today, so I figured I'd stop in and see how things are going. I'm happy to say that things have changed considerably since I was last on here...

When I last posted in June, I didn't know that the store I was working in was about to be embroiled in scandal. The cliche of 'too much work, too little pay' was all too real for me. Managers who cheated us out of pay, tried to fire us due to her not wanting 'young people' in her store, and Area Managers who ultimately got fired for unethical practices with said managers.
While the morning shift would have 4 or more people to tend to the store in the day, I would be left to handle the same amount of customers and work Alone. Every friggen Day. They wouldn't even take care of their own godd@mn duties. I would come home around midnight, back breaking, light headed and looking like a watery-eyed zombie. 365, 24-hour Gas Station hell.

It finally came down to the point where I had to leave for back problems, (my mom was crippled around my age from bending over beds in a nursing home) and just the plain fact that they would NOT ever consider helping me. I spent months reading through the Classifieds in the local paper, and sent out a few resumes. The local paper, unfortunately, decided to change its mind about who they wanted to hire - However, the job with the phone company took interest...

Thanks to this new job, I now work first shift and have time to not only be with my family and live a healthier, normal life. I might even get some of my school loans paid off within the year with the new money I'm making... The past four weeks have literally given me a new life and energy to get done in a weekend what I couldn't in a month.

With the free time I am gaining, I am hoping to be able to visit more often. I finally got to check out the Yim and aim stuff again (I lost some buddies's names, unfortunately), and am continuing my quest to get internet at home. Perhaps Christmas will prove fruitful. I am sincerely missing chatting with friends, and want to get back into doing what I love...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sorry for the Lifetime Movie sappiness, but I just had to come on and share whats going on in my life.

As for some of the posts I've read in the thread here, Jo Dawn, I truly pray that you'll recuperate and feel better soon. Nobody should have to deal with that kind of pain...

And to nahhan/Hannah Banana, as many have said, there are so many more fish in the sea, and you will learn from this experience and grow from it. You're just barely a teenager (about the same as my niece), there's TONS of new experiences waiting for you. Don't give up hope, there's someone out there for you. Just give it time.

*Raven* · 09-08-2007, 02:06 PM

I'm glad to hear your doing better, hope it keeps going that way for you.

Oh dear...I know that feeling...My back kills me constantly...and no matter how high you crank that bed....it's still a big pain! I know people my age who already have arthritis in their back from working in a nursing home...it's major wear and tear on the body. Unfortunately in small towns like where i live now...it's the only job that pays above minimum wage unless you have a big honkin' degree. Even more unfortunate...it's a thankless, stressful job and you do not get paid enough to do it.

But hey! it's great to see ya again Machi, and nice to hear how everything is looking up for ya! We've lost to many of the "Originals" here at the drome! Now all we need is Kali, Azure, Nturtle....I could go on....miss them guys.

It's great to see your name here again, Machi. I'm glad things are going well for you. Come back real soon!

*Katie* · 09-09-2007, 07:36 PM

FIRST: *bows to the mango queen*

Ok, so last night I called up one of my girlfriends to see what has been going on with her and her family, etc only to find out that she is at the first birthday party for the son of one of our other friends. Guess who wasn't invited. Everyone else was there in our group. literally. everyone but me. I feel kind of bad about it. I can't figure out why she didn't invite me.

The friend I called said that she would call me back later that evening but never did....and nothing today. That made me feel worse. I know I have been AWOL from alot of things this year because of work issues, but I am always the one who calls to see what is going on with everyone....keeping the connection established. Now I kind of feel like there is no point.

I feel like I am a nice enough person and I don't gossip or act out or anything that I can think of that would offend these people....it's really bothering me. And worse yet, I can't talk to anyone in the group about it because they were ALL involved.

My feelings are tremendously hurt. I don't even know where to start again with them.

I just needed to get it off my chest. *puts on my "brave little trooper" face again* well...the world keeps turning, right?

Blithe · 09-09-2007, 07:44 PM

That'd hurt my feelings too, Katie. It'd be especially difficult not having anyone to vent to who wasn't involved, but at least you have us! Maybe you could try reconnecting with your friends by hosting a get-together at your home. I think that will help demonstrate that you're available for socializing again and want to be more actively involved in their lives.

Swany · 09-10-2007, 04:48 PM

Aww, Katie hunnie. Your allowed to feel hurt. Annoyingly theres a similar thing going on with my group of friends. People being people are too easily offended. If its any consolation, I think I can speak for all of us saying that we enjoy having you here in the 'drome.

Friend X is usually working, knackered or spending time with work friends, shes missed a few occasions and two birthdays but the birthday boy/girl spoke to her and sorted it. Friend Y and Z are PISSED OFF with her. Sent her nasty E-mails about how shes mising stuff, dragged the rest of us in "Did you know that ......" And pretty much effed everything up. Friend Y is acting very immature, shes annoyed cause me, Kevin and craig are finished and in college/uni. Friend Z is going along for the ride as she does, she cant seem to think for herself. Me and the guys are staying out, but making sure friend X knows we dont hate her. Its a bit messed up.

On a lighter note my dads eye is watering, so the tear ducts are working. Take that bells palsy!

*Hannah* · 09-11-2007, 07:41 PM

I'm 15, I thought that was established on my birthday?

**GK Punk** · 09-14-2007, 02:10 AM

Bah. I'm miserable again. I wish I had an easy time being open.

Miserable again?

Being open is tough for me too, even though Ram Bam is always supportive. Now, reading some of my posts in the cafe, you wouldn't think I have a problem blabbing whatever is on my mind to whoever, but I find it easier to share online because you'll always find at least one person if not more

who understands how you feel. In real life, I tend to keep everything bottled up until I almost explode with frustration, irritation, or sadness. It really sucks and it makes me miserable every once in a while.

I hope you feel better Michi!

*Tosses dart on dart board*

As of right now, my life can be summed up in one word: YUCK.

I had a boyfriend, who left me for another girl who then left THAT girl for another..

Ugh...and if that don't beat all...I'm currently in between jobs right now...and that isn't going well. *Tosses another dart on the dart board*

Maybe this pic could sum up my emotions right now:

Swany · 09-14-2007, 07:11 PM

I have a problem, and I'm kinda embarrased. My friend fancies me I think, she has been more and more open about it since we had to kiss in a game of dares. She always acts so happy to see me like we havent spoken in FOREVER! When she hugs me she holds on for ages. My other friends actually picked up on it before me. I dunno what to do, I dont feel the same about her.

Anyway, lighter news (because I'm sick of feeling like I should call a waaaaamulance), I went to buy my mum **** and that friendly border collie was out again, I love petting him because he nudges your hand onto his head, I had a wee gab till I had to go. Hes so lovely.

*hugs*
Can ya relate to this one too?

I've been feeling that way myself for some time. My job leaves me utterly stressed and depressed. I wish I could do something else, but that would mean less money and just isn't an option for me at this point. Sometimes...I feel i'm in such a rut that to be dead would be a major improvement on my life....yeah...that's sad.

*Katie* · 09-18-2007, 06:32 AM

YAY Depression! That reminds me. gotta go pick up my perscription later. (OH! and we are having employee appreciation week.......but my boss says we are too busy to participate. That's right....no ice cream truck visit today....no neat prizes and catered lunch tomorrow.....no wearing jeans to work on Friday.....even though the rest of the building will be participating in all those things, which are advertised in the lobby)

Seriously, though. You know I'm just on the other side of town from ya mars.....and I betcha a million dollars I can relate

*Mars-Chan* · 09-18-2007, 01:30 PM

I seriously was going to put that pic up, Storm...but you beat me to it!

I betcha you could too, Katie!
