When my new insurance coverage kicks in, I really do need to consider seeking mental health help. My anxiety level is high. I know I also need to stop my crazy caffeine intake because that definitely does not help my anxiety and sleep hygiene.
Sometimes you need to leave so people can realize your worth.
Career update: I am still learning and getting into my role. I love seeing product selling from our displays. I will often partner members in the process of creating displays to develop and train talent. As we do these tasks together, I get to learn more about their strengths. Itâs rewarding.
Regret of the day? Passing on a possible vintage Louis Vuitton Epi Noe bag...at $99.00. It was too big of a risk. But I am glad the guy that actually got to the counter first got it. He probably wanted to get it but I had asked to look at it and he didn't say...oh I am getting it. What a gentleman. I hope he makes a big profit on it if it is authentic. It was too rich for my blood to throw away nearly 100 bucks. Though I know if it IS authentic, he may be able to sell it for at least 1K profit.
Am I tired, depressed, burnt out, or stressed? I don't know.
It makes me feel a certain way that my former colleague is being offered my position for nearly the same that I was making. I made that money amount after getting a 7% raise...when the average is 3%. Then the minimum wage went up 13% and it meant any merit raise we received meant nothing. So I asked about what it meant for other people. They considered it (the higher people than the store level) said my pay was fair. It wasnât fair. After an unpleasant experience, I lost even more respect for certain manager and I started looking for jobs elsewhere. An opportunity presented itself to me and it was hard for me to say no. I am with an entirely different company. It pained me to leave my other job but I definitely felt taken advantage of..they didnât respect me. They respected what I was able to accomplish for so little pay. I took on a lot. I did more than was expected. They sort of see it now but they donât realize the main reason I left was because of the pay and...well...advancement. I was not being developed as a leader(on paper). I was a leader based what I felt was right and what I knew. I was supposed to get a weekly meeting with one of the managers to touch base. I only did it once and it was mainly me teaching him things. They never discussed my development plan that I wrote. They did not teach me other things that they said they would when they offered me my position. When I gave them my two weeks notice, they claimed that they didnât know much about my position at the time and it didnât cover that...I am a key holder though. They dangled, âOh you will be a key holder.â âOh, I have keys already.â I am obviously still hurt. It will take a while to get over it. He dangled another position to me but they pay was still less than my new position. I didnât reveal how much my new gig would pay me because it doesnât matter. He said there are talks of more stores opening up in the future...so there is advancement and he can see me anywhere in the company. (I do too. Iâve actually received an email from the Executive Vice President of Stores and Services...apologizing about something that I brought up to their attention. I also discovered and reported crazy inventory issues...like, where inventory of one SKU should be 50 but the system said we had 1000s and my report warrant a company wide emergency inventory re-count.) But hereâs the thing, he said he her whispers of new stores. I am presented with an opportunity right now...with a new company that is opening stores up like crazy. If I play the cards right, I may have my own store to run within a year. I was not happy at my old place. I was happy, in the sense that I was proud of my work...but it took a toll on my mental health. I worked as if I was a manager. I managed the inventory and orders. With the pandemic, online orders have increased. I think I would have stayed if they had given me a little pay boost aka pay me what is advertised at other locations(same company)...But you know what, this is for the better. I have been at my new place for a month. I am constantly thinking of ways to improve. I am still trying to get used of building fun/creative/fulll displays. I have ideas but it can be beefed up. I am with people who appreciate me and what I bring.
I am tired and I donât feel appreciated at work. When the managers say great work, it sounds like empty words. I am tired.
I can feel the dark thoughts creeping in. I know the depression fast approaching. I can see it affecting other aspects of my life. I want to be happy but I am finding it hard to see the good.
My room is my space. I hate it when someone comes in a changes it. Even when they are trying to help, it disorients me and I find it hard to know where things are because I had it in a certain spot.
I was doing so good today and then the weight of the day came down on me. It became hard to smile. I felt empty. I felt as if I am not enough.
...guys.
Guys, I have grown so much. In the past, I would have purchased this messenger bag. Gems like this is why I love thrifting.
Longaberger Baskets Purse: $1.99 $1.49
What a delightful find! My boyfriend is going to tease me when I sport this bag but it is such a cutie. At first I thought it was a miniature picnic basket for a miniature tea set. Then I noticed the actual slots and zippered pocket.
Summer dress and this purse? Yes, please! Summer dress and this purse to sit in your yard because of a pandemic? WHY NOT?!
I also love how the bag has the initials of the person that handwove it! Not to mention, it is dated too! So yes, this is an actual vintage piece! Itâs weird to say an item from 1999 is vintage.
You guys are going to think this is ridiculous. I have added a pad in my car and created a ânap station.â My hope is to be able to go on more road trips. I would love to try to camp. If I canât handle actual camping, I can at least sleep in my car. =) Right now, I am testing it out as I watch a movie.
Itâs quite comfortable. I lowkey want to sleep out here since I am off work tomorrow.
Edit: I was watching a movie in my car and fell asleep. It was 4:15AM when I woke up to go back in the house.
BF's smartwatch fell apart. We went to Fossil to see if they can have it fixed or shipped it to be fixed. Due to Covid-19, their repair place is no longer open. They gave him the option to surrender is broken watch and be able to get another watch for 50%. We were hoping to get a different one from the one I got him 1.5 years ago(this is not the broken one). The lighting in the store made it look lighter than the one he had on(the one I gave him). It turns out it is the same, after I looked up my receipt/etc. It was already said and done but I got a little obsessed about finding my receipt and he got mad at me for not paying attention to what he was telling me/showing me as we were pulling in to another shopping center. He said â You obsess over the weirdest things. So what if I have to of the same watch.â
We went into Tuesday Morning and he saw me looking on my phone again. I tried to catch up with him but continued to look at stuff in the store. He left the store to go to the pet store without me. I tried looking for him in Tuesday Morning. I then left and went to Sprouts to get the vegetable I wanted to get to make dinner. I nearly wanted to cry walking in and out alone. It is nothing but he has never left me in a store. It just made me sad.
Ordered the Dyson Soft Roller Head. 100% recommend. It feels like it picked up more on our hardwood.
