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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
