Seems I have to explain.....

Well it seems I still need to explain about my work, because yet again I amdoing the wrong thing and need to be even more flexible, it seems that my usual shifts of Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday are not being flexible enough...

Stud I know you do mean well but the comment you left in my entry on the 22nd, which I have only just got has upset me and now I feel the need yet again to explain my feeling toward my workplace yet again.

I am flexible, it just after being there for 2 and a half years working EVERY friday, saturday, sunday and monday takes it toll, the only break I got from this was last year when I ended up in hospital and had to take 3 months off.

Also something that I left out, on Easter Monday they called me and left a message wanting me to go in that day... I did call them back, but they already had someone else coming in.

My point is I guess I am flexible, I have worked most weekends now, which is the reason why I hardly have any friends now, and one reason why I hate my life so bad.

Forgive me but I don't appeciate people telling me to be more flexible there when it's obvious I AM, and also why the hell do I have to be more flexible? when they treat me like shit anyway, the fact they haven't called in the past 2 weeks... I really don't give a shit. It's just the feeling of being unemployed I can't stand.

And also yes I think it is wise for me to put the depression aside and focus on finding a job, if I focus on that then I will be incapable of going to job interviews at all, and then I never will get a job, and I'll get even worse.

The two main things right now that are aggrevating my depression is finding a new job so I dont have to go back to that hellhole of a place when they do decide that they suddenly need me. And secondly living at the bf's mum's place, whilst things are going ok here, I don't like it's not my own place.

Stud if I've upset you I didn't mean it, I do value your comments usually, but I just didn't appreciate you taking their side, well at least that's how it felt, and I have been put through too much crap by that place, to have people tell me I'm doing the wrong thing when I am getting treated like dirt

I am sorry my comment has upset you - it was not meant to upset you - just make you think about things. I was trying to point out that you used to go in on your days off and now you were getting any work because you seemed to have changed your attitude to work.

You have those four days that most people would not ever want to work and you do/did and you did go to work on your days off. I am just trying to get you to think about how you are reacting to work - not getting any shifts - is it because you have burnt your bridges by not agreeing to do go to work on your days off.

The four days are hard to work and then have to work on your days off. I feel very much for you. At least you did call back on Easter Monday and did show you were available.

Seems I might have been wrong and I apologise for upsetting you and admit I have it wrong.

Be strong and things will work out for you.

Go Jess!!!

PS Jess

I am very sorry that my comments have upset you. I did mean them to inspire you/realise you need to think about why you may not be getting the calls you used to get but I seemed to stuff that upand they came out the wrong way/upset you/foot in mouth and I again am very sorry I upset you/caused you any hurt. Hun, I was never taking any side. Just trying to get you to think about things and realise they may have let you go and if they have, get your pay/entitlements you are eligible for if you are not going to work there again.

I am not upset at all and glad you told me how you felt/thought I was siding with them. No way would I side with an employer who is not doing the right thing by a loyal employee and that is what you are.

Go Jess!!!
