(((((((((((((((((((((((koga)))))))))))))))))))))))) Sorry the hug is so late. I hope everything is better now. (((((((val)))))) (((((((rivka))))) ((((((((((((((((((((((raia)))))))))))))))))))))))) im sorry ((((((tt&t))))))) ((((((kidyanna))))))) hello sorry about your job ((((((((((((((((((((((marek))))))))))))))))))))) im sorry ((((((anthro)))))) ((((((imogen))))) hows that arm? im tired so... (((((every one who wants one)))))
I quit my job. I've been working 6 days a week, anywhere from 8-11 hour shifts. No breaks often. On top of being run ragged, the kitchen(I work in a restaurant) is taking over an hour to get food to the tables, AND keeps running out of EVERYTHING.
"Welcome to Red Lobster, my name is Bobby. I'm gonna be your server tonight. Just to let you know, we're out of all fresh fish, center-cut sirloin, and chicken breast."
Tired, embarassed, and broke; I walked in Red Lobster Thursday, shirts in hand.
Backstory: 3 General Managers in three months. No Kitchen Manager currently. And our current GM and one of the other 2 managers is new. So, we have one manager with any time under her belt.
Because management is suffering, some servers who have been there forever step in and act as managers to fill in called a "Server Professional."
Shirts in hand, I walk in to find our server professional filling out seating charts for the week. She asked what the hell I was doing. I told her I was done. It was wearing my health and sanity away to nothing. Done. Done. Done.
My mom hates this. She's a firm believer, as am I, in having a secure job in place before quiting a job. Well, the current work setup wasn't allowing for sleep, let alone a job hunt including interview and whatnot.
Cheryle asked what else I could do.
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. *E-brake*
Cheryle "I'm sure Meghan(Our 1 weathered manager) would rather reposition, rather than lose you altogether."
A sit down with Meghan and the Gen Manager, and I'm now a host/busser/alley coordinator. Possibly bar tender in the new future, though that may call for some 11 hour shifts again. Which I'm not interested in. I go for my first day as a host at Red Lobster in an hour, and am finally happy about going to work.
Sorry I haven't been around. I tend to be reclousive when things are going wrong. I keep my doomsayer mode to myself. It's for your protection, honest.
You guys SO rock!!!!!!!
You have NO idea how big a smile I got to find recent hugs after my month of waywardness. Thank you thank you thank you!! I needed 'em!
(((((((((((((((RIVKA)))))))))))))))))))))) (((((((((((((((RIVKA)))))))))))))))))))))) (((((((((((((((RIVKA)))))))))))))))))))))) (((((((((((((((RIVKA)))))))))))))))))))))) (((((((((((((((RIVKA)))))))))))))))))))))) (((((((((((((((RIVKA)))))))))))))))))))))) (((((((((((Valentine))))))))))))) Thank you for putting up with me sweetie!

I could use a hug. I was stuck at the scene of bad wreck yesterday. (not IN the wreck, just there) Then when I tried to sleep last night, I kept seeing the car flipping towards me. Posts: 4174 | Registered: Sep 2003

(((((Mayday))))) (((((kidyanna))))) Welcome again! (((((Belle))))) (((((blacwolve))))) (((((Valkyrie))))) (((((Anna))))) ((((((((((Bobby)))))))))) I'm glad you improved your job situation! Yay! And that you came back -- I do the self-exiled-growly-bear-in-a-cave thing too. ((((((((((Eruve)))))))))) Before you go to sleep, tell yourself that you have the power to change your dreams. If the car flips toward you, shove it back! Hey, why shouldn't you have superpowers in a dream? (This technique doesn't work for everyone, but with practice, can be very useful. You might also try visualizing the dream revision while still awake.) (((((Raia))))) (((((tt&t))))) (((((imogen))))) (((((Marek))))) (((((Derrell))))) (((((Valentine))))) (((((Zotto!)))))

Hatrack
I could use more hugs, please. And maybe a large cave. *sigh*

Oh, and to (((Rivka))), who taught me hugs are best if given free, though it was about as effective as trying to make a dent on water. Posts: 550 | Registered: Jan 2004

I need some advice. I was really good friends with someone for about 7 months. Like, we were best friends, inseperable, all that. Then she broke up with her boyfriend. After about a month, I realized I really liked him (I'd been friends with him for a couple of years) and he realized he liked me. I asked her if she minded, she said she didn't convincingly enough that we started dating. I'm only saying this because it's prolly important.
After a few months she and I started arguing, about him originally, I didn't think he was the horrible person she did, but later about everything. We drifted apart, didn't enjoy, understand, or like each other anymore. Tonight I IMed her to get some closure about the whole thing, I was expected her to tell me how much she hated me, which would give me enough closure that I could stop worrying about the situation. Instead, we both remember why we were friends in the first place. Right now, we're talking about that. I have a feeling though, that I'm going to have to make a decision about whether or not to be friends again in a little bit. Quite frankly, I dont' want to be hurt again, and she does have a short history of whirlwind relationships. I have no idea what to do. Does anyone have any advice about this?
