georgejungle Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) i was throwing things against the wall, i threw my lunch across the room (now i have nothing to eat for lunch). No one was here yet. I'm sure i looked like a complete and utter idiot. I just have such steam pent up inside of me. I'm sick that i make such crappy money and get taken advantage of here, throwing a ton of work on me (and allow them to do it with a smile), i'm sick of juggling one car with the family because I can't afford to even think about buying another car, I'm sick that I'm wearing threads and can't really afford to buy the wife anything nice right now, food is expensive, baby needs clothes, our apartment is raising the rent, i'm already working a second job on the weekends to supplement my income so I have no days off... I'm so optimistic and positive almost everyday, but some days when it's a stressful morning or I have to rush out to work or I'm so dead tired that I'm late, I just LOSE IT. and it's stupid. i've applied and applied and applied to other jobs, looking for something else, I feel like such a failure, treading water trying to keep my head out. I want to be the provider but it's been tough. I can't catch a break. Edited April 14, 2010 by georgejungle

Rorschach Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 lulz were had, but seriously if you live in newhampshire I know where you can find oppurtunity, I live in maine and I'd do it myself but thats too far, so I know a guy. Three rules. 1. You have to have a good head on your shoulders and be smart enough and dedicated enough learn something new 2. you have to know people and have friends that are like you (this is for training purposes, no friends, no training, no opportunity) 3. you have to be willing to work harder than you ever have in your life and put yourself in mental sitautions where you're going to be extremely uncomfortable and have to pull thorugh and work anyway If you can do that you can make enough money to support your family like you want to. If your so unhappy with where you are I'd think you'd jump at anything that offered something more. But hey I'm just a random internet dude anyway right?

Rorschach Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 yeah whatever, I see you aren't so upset about your job then, try controlling your emotions a bit better hmm? *walks off to go enjoy his lunch* just cant do anything nice for people anymore...
Toki Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 I'm Chris Hanson, why don't you take a seat right over there.
cuppa Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 Ok, you need to let out your frustation through another outlet until things will get better in time. My kickboxing partner works in sales and he has all these stressful clients and quota to meet every month. In this economy climate, it's eating up at him. So he releases it all in kickboxing, punching bag really hard, this can be very therapeutic, better than trashing the office. Try to cope & find outlet, be it exercise, meditation, or others to keep yourself sane.
threebyfate Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 Is there any reason why your wife can't work? If she's qualified to earn a decent wage, can she not go back to work on weekends and at night, while you tend the baby? Pragmatism should always trump pride.
marsle85 Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 yeah whatever, I see you aren't so upset about your job then, try controlling your emotions a bit better hmm? *walks off to go enjoy his lunch* just cant do anything nice for people anymore... I live in NY! Can you help ME?
Rorschach Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 I live in NY! Can you help ME? NY is kinda far from our good offices, we have people in new york but their all idiots. New hampshire, maine, connecticut, and mass all have good offices who know what the heck their doing. All they're always hiring, so I guess depends how close you are =P
Gemmi Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Well I suppose London is way to far then!! Ahhh Tut...

I want to be the provider but it's been tough. I can't catch a break. How old is the baby? Yard sales have cheap baby clothes and kids don't care what they wear. Second hand clothes rock! Look for trade sites to find a sewing machine. Is it possible for your mate to take on a job on an opposite time schedule to your own? Coupons! It is spring; grow some of the veggies you'd typically buy. Even at apartments people guerilla garden for tomatoes, peppers and beans. Find another set of parents to swap child care duties. Can your mate do other tenant's laundry for a fee to make extra money? Maybe watch another child? Are you under the income cap for assistance of any kind?
torranceshipman Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 The OP so hasn't got the help he was looking for here!! Seriously OP sounds like you just need to let off steam occasionally. I'd hugely suggest a gym membership and daily workouts. It gives you 'you' time but more importantly it governs the happy chemicals and stress related chemicals in your body...would make all the crap so much easier to deal with. Also hows your diet, caffeine intake and alcohol intake? These make a massive dent in how good you feel - eat healthy as much as you can. And 9 hrs sleep a night if possible. Last question: is there a chance you could retrain for a new career? Maybe not immediately but it is worth long term consideration - you only have one life and you need to be enjoying it as much as you can.
