Post 02 - What A Terrible Day!

Totally unrelated to drugs. Just stating that.

I hate a TERRIBLE day and I need to vent.

I had my first day of work placement today. I'm in college and I need to do a three week UNPAID work placement (90 hours) to graduate. Anyway, I had to quit my two jobs to do this work placement (ya know - the jobs I need to pay for rent, groceries, tuition, etc.). My work placement went TERRIBLE. I was doing the most boring things. Like stuff I'd do for minimum wage. But I wasn't getting paid - it was all for free!

I had to wear my heels because they are the only dress shoes I have. By about 10 a.m., my feet were in so much pain. So I went over to the store at lunch to get bandaids. But them all over my feet. By the end of the day, I could barely walk.

I made it back to my boyfriend's (my stuff was at his place because I stayed over the night before). I just collapsed on his floor. There were indents and blisters all over my feet :(. I got to change into my runners though - thankfully!!!

I went back to my place to drop off my stuff - then I had to go to the mall to get new shoes (I was NOT wearing the heels again!). I waited for the bus but it didn't come. Then I realized it was the bus that only ran after 7 pm and it was 6:45! Rats! So I was like, I can almost make the one on the corner, so I hurried that way and watched it turn the corner and leave.

That really sucked, after everything else that happened. So I got the next bus that came a half an hour later. I made it to the mall with no problems, besides my eyes being all red and swollen from the crying.

I made it to the store. I found a pair of shoes that would work. They were even on sale! I went up to buy them, went to pay - oh, wallet wasn't there! I just broke down (again) in the store. The girls there were soo nice and just put them on hold for me. I said I'd go home and get my wallet and be right back. On my way home, I realized that I couldn't actually get back before the store closed, due to the fact that I have to take the bus and the bus didn't run that much.

So far, that is all that has happened to me. I'm crossing my fingers that nothing else happens, although I'm going to bed in like twenty minutes

Sometimes bad days are inevitable. It is really hard to be the loving, happy, cheerful, optimistic person that I am when things like this happen. I guess that's the challenge.
 
Ya poor pet :/, you wernt kidding when you said it was a horrible day. Bet you will look back with a giggle someday though, at all those nasty, calamity's that made you feel like Nordberg from the Naked Gun! ;)
Ill fitting shoes at work-
there is noting more painfully annoying, I cannot tolerate foot-pain, stab me in the eye but dont let me have to suffer these 4inch heels for longer than 20mins.
Hope you got to bed in one peace!
Fair play to you for having such a good attitude, I would be like an antichrist if I had a day like that.
 
Aha thanks! Apparently wearing socks in heels doesn't make your feet hurt as much. Seeing as I had to wear those heels again today, I now only have a few blisters instead of having feet covered in blisters!!! lol.

My work placement still sucks. Instead of applying what I learned in college to real life, I'm doing minimum wage stuff that I could have done when I was in elementary school. And I will be for the whole time (countdown: 11 days!).

I am in one piece right now, and happy about it :)

And I have never seen Naked Gun so I don't get the reference :( lol!
 
Work Placement is a gamble alright and Employers can and Do take advantage!
In my last job my Supervisor was so paranoid about anyone taking her position that she wouldn't Delegate anything, I had to talk to her about it about a million times before anything got done and I was shitless it would come back to bite me on the ass but thankfully I got moved into the Account's Dept because of it, instead of being left with the 'Trainee Monkey' positions-ugh!

Could you work your way around into getting any real Experience. If they dont help you I would slack off to my hearts content!


Glad that no more calamities occured! ;)

Detective Nordberg(OJ Simps) is the guy in the Naked Gun who is totally Accident prone and all this random, unfortunate stuff happens to him, like here for eg
 
Lol - that clip made me laugh! That sooo was my day!

My work placement has only gotten worse since the day I posted! The next day, I put labels on folders for seven hours. Really?!? It was brutal. Today, I was lifting boxes which is so NOT in my job description - I'm in Office Administration - like secretarial stuff - I am not getting experience by doing manual labour!

I'm working at a non profit organization that I used to think was a great organization, helped lots of people, now I hate them! lol They are sooo taking advantage of me. We'll see how tomorrow goes ... maybe it will be different.

I'm also terrible at slacking off. I do everything the best that I can. It's an annoying trait!
