are you having a bad day?

Question

(question at the last paragraph)
im having a rough day here at work, i don't know if it's the weather or what -- but this month, i have gotten so many disputes and complaints from clients, frustrations from uncooperative co-workers, i get constant migraines and im on the verge of quitting. (but i can't because of school). im a people pleaser, i cannot just NOT care. the good part of the day is im going out with my friends tonight, so that releases some steam.

how about you? are you having a rough day? would you like to share yours? it's a lot easier if you vent it out, even to people you don't know but willing to listen.

Answer 1

Sounds like you just need to take a little time off. Lighten your load temporarily. Ask your boss for a few extra days off or find a different job you like better. I just did that and I'm starting to feel like a human being again. I hated my last job. I have never been so miserable in my life as far as work goes. It was a little better pay than I'm getting now but I don't have so much pressure on me. That makes a huge difference and the pay cut is worth it.
But why do you need to worry so much about your job ? There are others and when you get out of school this job or the next won't matter. Having to work to get through school is tough but don't let the job break you. Change the way you think about it. Tell yourself you don't have to have this job and you could get a better one tomorrow if you wanted, Then march up to your boss (and don't ask) politely tell him/her that your really buisy in school(which they probably know) and you are taking a four day weekend to get some rest and visit your friends and family next week. Seriously, sometimes you just need to take a break or everything compounds and gets to be too much.
You need some rest so do what you have to to get it.
You will get through but you need rest to do so !


I went to college full time and worked full time.
IT SUCKS !

After going to school and working all day I would be halfway home sometimes before I realized I was driving I was so tired.
-(And I could just keep going)- But the moral of the story is you have to rest !

Answer 2

I had a relatively good day, actually. It's now 11:00 PM but as I reflect on the events of the day, I didn't encounter anything that really brought me down at all. The weather was icky, but other than that, the work day went fast, I kept busy, and I got to hang out with my favorite person in the whole wide world tonight.

Answer 3

I'm Having a really good day. Not to make you feel any worse. But It's ironic that I stumbled upon your question because,as for the last few weeks I'm no longer a people pleaser and you know what it feels so gooood.I'm 42 and I'm Tired of being a doormat for people ,so called friends and family. I'm like you ,you just can not-not care,but you don't have to stand there and take it.Thank you for a shoulder.God Bless

Answer 4

You may need some counseling to relieve your stress....when i worked and was in bad work situations, I drank too much, was mean at home AND at work....fortunately I was able to quit because i was an RN and job hopping was accepted at the time and chalked up to "experience" and versatility....however, since you are stuck, you really need to not deal with things the dysfunctional way I did....really good counseling is available and they can also suggest other constructive ways for you to deal with it and though it's great you're going out with your friends, that's just a "bandaid". This will only get worse, hon, if you don't address it....I've been there/done that & my ♥ REALLY goes out to you...the "people pleasing" aspect of your personality will devastate you....please get help and if you want to talk, IM me on yahoo: rosemary_gaines2000.

Answer 5

I hope with all my heart that your day gets better......me, I'm having a bad month! Our youngest daughter's first child was stillborn on the 7th, we live 1,100 miles away and the car broke down on our way to her, we got stuck in motel hell where one of our sons came, NOT to take us on to Illinois, but to beat us up and rob us! We finally got home and now everyone here is treating us like we have some contagious disease! On top of that, the stress caused my husband to suffer 4 heart attacks and I'm just ticked off at the whole world, so I come on here and try to space out for a while and PRAY that I can help someone else.

Answer 6

Yeah, I just got paid 2day, & my bank account is STILL negative. I'm very upset. I'm tired of being broke & poor all the time. I love my job, but I just...wish I could get paid more. I'm mad because I wanna move out of my family's house, & if it weren't for Hurricane Katrina, I'd still have my apartment & be done graduated college & had better credit. Hurricane Katrina ruined a BIG part of my life, & I'm depressed, & no one cares. I've had a rough year. Let alone a rough day. Because of Katrina, I gained over 40 lbs., being DEPRESSED. It's very hard 2 get my life back 2gether & regroup.

Answer 7

I'm sorry you're having such a bad day! The good news is that the month is almost over. I hope next month is better for you.
And the better news is that you have tonight to look forward to.
Have a great time with your friends tonight !
Dance till fire shoots from your heals!

My day? eh ! I have a dentist appointment later. WAH !
So, no drinking for me tonight! So, have one for me OK?

Answer 8

Mine didn't start off so good. It got better. I'm glad it didn't get worse! If it weren't so hot outdoors I'd go sit in the hot tub. That would feel nice on my aching body. Ah maybe later when the sun goes down. Enjoy your time out with your friends.

Answer 9

I am having a very blah day. It has been raining all morning or cloudy. The highlight of my day was going to Panera for lunch with my wonderful hubby. Now I am sitting here not looking forward to going to work.

Answer 10
