Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 14, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) That's what I did. Bought two Pokeballs with characters online for in-store collection, he brought me two Pikachu ones. How very presumptuous of him to think I'd want two of the same. Then he has to go through the store for 10 mins to find the rest. Didn't have the other one I really wanted to get my son, so made do with a Growlithe. Might e-mail them to see if they can deliver the one I want to the store so I can swap. But fuck me, what a palaver. No need for this in 2017.

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted November 15, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Took the entirely sensible decision that apart from maybe going to the wrestling on Sunday as I planned it weeks ago even though I feel crap to try and stick this job out until December 30th and save as much as possible and then look to move as early as I can in the new year. Tried being at home and doing the working thing but between the incredibly tough hours (I've been getting up at 4 to start work at 5.15 for 10/11 hour days) the fact customers made me cry twice yesterday and that I'm coming home to just sleep or drink by myself as I see very few people that still live back in my home city it's severely affecting my mental health now to the point I'm having to stop myself from going to a dark place and self harming again which my family seems to assume I'm just having a bad day and it'll be fine tomorrow. Save money (should have about 1500 saved by December 30th) find a job anywhere really in the UK (though definitely looking at Cardiff, Bristol, Bath or Wolverhampton) and get onto spare room and find a place to live. Not letting myself get to 25 and feel isolated, depressed and that I can't be myself in the place I live just to please my family (they've become quite "oh its lovely having everyone here" since my nephew was born. Before that I could go days without hearing from anyone). Having to make some tougher choices there. Edited November 15, 2017 by Shy Dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Yeah Argos are shite atm. It's like an episode of The Apprentice where the task is to try and turn Woolworths into Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted November 15, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 15, 2017 I went to have my after surgery cast changed to a more solid, though lighter cast, that'll see me through the next four weeks today. My block of flats had just been cleaned so the lift and floors were all wet as I made my way down to the cab. Of course my crutches slipped and my broken leg bounced off the solid floor. The postman heard me effing and blinding about that. They gave me an xray in the hospital just to be sure nothing had been damaged, but they said it's healing well. I'll have the special boot put on on the 13th of December, the day before I go to Oslo. I'm terrible at using crutches and am exhausted after five minutes or so, so I expect I won't be doing much of anything until I get the boot. Which means I'll miss most of the rest of this term at uni and a few things we had booked to do in the lead up to Christmas. But it can't be helped. I do not trust getting on the tube into central London during the Christmas period with a broken leg. No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted November 16, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2017 Quit my job today after a customer made me cry in front of everyone by squaring up and arguing with me that a steak bake had been correctly placed in the counter. Literally made to feel worthless for 40p. Went to a pub because going home with my thoughts would be dangerous for my health, home now, I'm so fucking worthless I fucking hate how I am.

D@mm Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Don't let a dickhead customer get you down mate, people are arseholes, they are pathetic losers who take their shit out on others cos they are angry with themselves, they are bullies mate, I am glad you didn't do anything stupid, maybe take a day or 2 to calm down, get your thoughts together and if you don't want to go back there then fair enough, your safety comes first.

Â I walked out of a job I hated with nothing else to go to 15 years ago, was unemployed for the first time in my adult life and (in hindsight) it was the best thing I ever did. It might not feel like it now and it might feel shitty for a little bit of time but just remember you'll never have to feel that shitty again. Life is too short to be treated like that (and to hate yourself.) Take a couple of days and think about if you want to go back. If you do, great. If you don't its not the end of the world and can be the start of something better. Just make sure you don't beat yourself up over it or bottle things up, theres plenty of people on here that are always happy to chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let some fuckwit you don't know or care about make you feel like shit. Guy sounds the one worth fuck all. Hope you can do something that makes you happy and the world will look brighter tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted November 16, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2017 I've walked out of a bunch of shite jobs for less than that. Quit Uni first time round too. I wouldn't beat yourself up about it, things do get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
