Venting

Hi friends,


It's been a while since I posted   I haven't done any meet ups in a while.  I have some coming up this month and some next.  I've been having some emotional problems.  Feels like I am on a roller coaster.   I feel lonely, sometimes.  Some of the experiences with some relationships have made me take a step back and try to figure out my feelings for them.  Are they real or sincere.  Still trying to figure that out. (I have some amazing friends here on DS that I feel blessed to have) 


Work just keeps getting horrible.  Home Depot usually cuts hours during Jan and Feb because it's a slow time.  Once the garden dept opens more people come into the store.  They just started to open garden.  But my hours have not increased.  When I asked my manager (who has barely been with the store a year.  He is not a friendly person at all)  he said the hours are coming and that I should go into the system and change my availability.  I've the same availability (hrs) I've had since I started with the company almost 10 years ago. I'm not changing that.  I want to change either stores or companys. 


Thanks for listening  :(

Hi Linda, I’m so sorry that you’re not very happy and I haven’t been getting many hours lately, hopefully that’ll change soon. It sounds like you don’t even like working there so you should really concentrate on finding something else..
Do you have any really close friends that you’ve known for years? Or are they all just acquaintances? I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with acquaintances they can make our life much fuller. I’m glad you have some outings to look forward to soon and you know you always have your friends here at DS. Keep applying for different jobs and I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Hopefully you have a better week this week.
