Confession: I am really unhappy in my job. But not unhappy enough to quit and leave a gap in my CV where I'm on the dole. Today was horrible enough that at several times during the day I just quietly closed the door in the toilets and cried, and then carried on with my work. Pretty pathetic.
I'm really, really sorry to hear that
I don't think it's pathetic, for what it's worth. Even if you're sticking with a job for necessity's sake, you're still sticking with it, which some of us didn't manage when their jobs got stressful. That was venting, a sort of coping mechanism, and more professional than quitting in a huff or trying to hit a customer with a plantpot. I think everything you've done and put up with is anything but pathetic
I am just so sick of being treated like a 3rd class citizen by my boss and her family.
Really thank you, Ed, I need some to tell me to its okay.

This was me last week. It blows, but at least your not alone
it means you live in a place where being unemployed doesn't mean you're scum

Confession: I really really regret leaving my decently paying job to try and do another semester at community college in a program I really didn't care about, because not only can I not get that job back but I failed all of my classes and now I have no money to do anything but look for a new job

having been caught in the whole cycle of failing school / being useless in the past myself, repeatedly, i can totally sympathize
once you find yourself a job, work hard for a year and feel productive again and then maybe take a class or two
working and taking classes has helped me keep on my otherwise worthless, indolent toes

Confession: of late the forum is being awful for time-travelling/vanishing posts and false unread post notifications and it pisses me off more than such a stupid thing should

Whenever I start thinking about how I dislike my job I remind myself why I got into this field: money.

Now that I've woken up a little more it occurs to me that I was just a tremendous ass in this thread and made light of someone's stresses and insecurities for a small joke that no-one would find funny a page or so back.
I need a vacation. This workload is killing me. And there's no fucking end in sight.
Confession: I can't play video games that much anymore, I get the games I'm really excited about, like Skyrim and Mass Effect, and then lose interest in them the more I play them. I hate to be losing interest in something I used to be so devoted to.

I wouldn't call it pathetic, I would offer you a hug though.

america also likes to treat The Poor like they are retarded children

A lovely bucket.
hm
that sounds about right
i aint got no advice
And it pays WAAAAAAAAAAY more than the UK's
No worries FAQ, I'll live! Thank you, though, its nice of you to say. Also, your avatar still freaks me out.
:oops:
What is your impression of which one is harder to qualify for?
Like, Liiya couldn't just quit and then go looking for unemployment insurance in America, can you really do that in the UK?
And then I wonder if it is still worth it.

y'all have better social safety nets overall though
by "y'all" i mean the UK not you specifically i mean you know what i mean
Crwth I might just stay in Disney. They'll need a florist Im sure.
is how i feel about working in the service industry
No
I've had personal experience with neither (thankfully), but as far as I'm aware you qualify for both under similar circumstances
It hurts.
I wouldn't call it pathetic, I would offer you a hug though.
you could shack up in the castle!

It's been a while but I think that's about right, yeah
They aren't?
Certainly we don't have to worry about health costs!
Although, unemployment is, what, still 60 pounds a week? That's about $100 a week.
Thanks, BFG.
