I am 20 years old, this is my fourth job, in total I have worked 2 years and 8 months adding up all my jobs. In this current job I have only been here for 3 months and I don't like this job. I basically just organize the supermarket shelves, it's an easy job, but that's precisely the problem. Since the supermarket sells little, there are always few things to organize, so I and the other employees basically just hang around until it's time to go home. In the supermarket where I used to work, there were always many things to do, since it sold a lot, so there wasn't this problem. In this job I am more concerned with fulfilling the working hours than actually working.Now about crying: Every day I feel like crying because I know that I am in a job where boredom dominates me, because there are few activities. But in the end I always end up holding back the tears.I'm not going to change jobs because I fear that a new job might be worse than this one.I wanted advice on how to deal with having a job you don't like and that makes you feel sad.
>>34332768Can you not listen to music and podcasts in one ear while at work? If you're not looking at anything, you could read a book you bring with you? Might make the boredom easier to deal with.You got this.
>>34332768I learned to sing songs, and would sometimes sing in my head or out loud to keep time. I had one song I knew I sang in 2 minutes +-5 seconds so I would sometimes just sing that 60 times in a row and count down the last two hours of my shift. It worked pretty well, and sometimes the job was literally staring at an empty hill for four hours in a row.
Find a way to fill the empty time with something that's for you. Listening to podcasts, audiobooks, or music is your easiest option.
>>34332768Idk why you are such a fag. I have fond memories of standing near noisy machines for twelve hours with nothing but my thoughts. Hope you feel better soon.
I dont even have a job you spoiled slut
>>34332768Do something you want to do while youre waiting. Fuck wasting your youth and time just because the economy is organised badly.
>>34332768Stocking shelves was a good job for a 17 year old, but it is time for you to start thinking about what you want to be when you grow up.
>>34335905There's no difference between 17 and 20
>>34332768Off topic but based for Coraline. Remember to call her CORAline. Not CAROline
>>34336210Not if your ambition extends to a life of perpetual childhood.For many people these years are the greatest transition of all, from being an underage b& kid who nobody talks seriously to beginning your life in the adult world.As >>34335905 says, shelf stacking is a job for kids, it's what I did weekends whilst I was finishing high school to earn some spending money. By 20 you should be looking upwards.
