Recommended Posts

Hey friends

So since my job karma has been on a major downward slide since the summer i figured maybe an evening part time job would help. Im temping 8-5 right now.

So last night was my first night at the movie theater. IT WAS AWEFUL!.

I got home at 2, every part of my body hurts. I'm suposed to work tonight 7-close again, tomorrow 3-8 and monday 7-close and thrusday 7-close.

What The ^%&***&^%%$$ was I thinking???!!!!

my only desire is to go in this afternoon and give them my bowtie. i just cant hack it. ggrrrrr!!

:faint:

The first day of my current job I came home and bawled my eyes out. My legs hurt being on my feet all day, my feet hurting from standing, my body hurt from being active. I hated my life. I hated the first month I was there. Now I am a pretty happy camper with the same job and I don't really even want to give it up for a much better paying job I have been offered. You have to give it a bit more of a chance before deciding you totally hate it.

Give it a couple of weeks to show you gave it a go. I once stuck out a job for 6 weeks. Then I really knew I hated it and quit happily with no doubts.

I worked in a theatre once. Removing gum from seats was not fun.

hey i think its a great idea to temp until you find out what rings your bell. You dont suck, I dont know if i would have made it the second day either.

You don't suck, the job sucked and you weren't desperate enough for the money to keep going. Keep looking around. Office work is a lot easier. Pick up phones or something.

Pharmacy tech. Many places such as Walgreens, CVS, costco, SamsClub, OSCO, etc. will put you in their "tech in training" program. I wouldn't imagine the pay would get you rich ($10-$12/hr??) but the benefits are sometimes half way decent.

I don't know specifics of the laws now but I *think* you can be a tech in training for a year before you have to take the national certification test. They train you, the bigger places will usually pay for your test, you get certified, you work where you want.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
