I MAY BE A LOSER IN SOME PEOPLE'S EYES>>>

DO you know, when I was in Houston and I worked, I had worked at GAR for 9 years when I went to Tyler McLennon/Choicepoint and then I worked there for 9 years. (Something about 9's) ANyway, so I finally got a job here in Iron Mountain at a cash advance place. You go in and if you have a checking account, based on your salary you can get a VERY high interest advance that you have to pay back on your next payday. This girl that is the general manager, Tammy was training me and I was getting it pretty good at it. I was also trained by a lady named Barb who is one of the nicest people I know. She was so kind and understanding and patient. Tammy on the other hand was very intimidating and basically mean. She thought I should automatically get it, fall in to her routine and go on. They told me to find my own routine, which I was doing rather nicely and then there was the day I had an extra $3,000.00 in the til (on the computer, not actually cash) I accidentally closed out the day and it screwed everything up. Tammy was all over me for it. The day had gone perfectly. I had worked by myself all day with only two questions. I was so excited. Anyway, so Tammy came in the next day and she was on me all day, hovering over me with each customer I worked on. I couldn't take it.

My stomach has been in a mess since the first day I started the job. I run to the bathroom constantly. My blood pressure was high again and basically I was making myself sick at this job. So, I quit.

I told Mark that I need a part time secretarial job. Doing what I know. I will find one. I am going to a couple of temporary companies for temp work until I can find something permenant.

I know this makes me look like a loser. I'm really not. I wanted that job to work. My health couldn't take it. Since I quit on Tuesday, I feel perfectly fine. I feel like the weight of the world has been lifted of.

I got to go to the VA and volunteer the other day too. I love it there. I wish I could get a job there. Guess not. Oh well. Hope ya'll don't think bad of me.

SEE YA!!!

better that you get a job you like than get sick there.

I once quit a job because i thought my life was in jeopardy because i was the only white girl there with bosses that were also white and they offered me a head housekeeping job in just 3 months. Well lets just say that there were other ladies there that had been there a year or so. well you get the picture..

I definately don't think your a loser! Working a job you can't stand has a sapping the fun out of life. Its hard to even enjoy your days off becuase you know you have to go back "there". Hope you find a job that is kinder to you :D
