Topic : Stress at Work

I WORK FOR A GROWING COMPANY ( HH GREGG ) . THIS IS MY FIRST TIME DOING THIS TYPE OF WORK( CUSTOMER SERVICES). THAT MAY SOUND SIMPLE BUT IS MORE TO IT AND I GET THE JOB FOR THE MOST PART, ITS JUST SOME THING JUST DON'T CLICK THE FIRST OR SECOND TIME. BUT MY PROBLEM IS NOT SO MUCH  OF MY  LEARNING DISABILITY ITS MORE SO OF MY PERFORMANCE ANXIETY FEAR OF BEING JUDGE. BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN THEIR FOR ALMOST TOO MONTHS, AND THEY DON'T KNOW THAT I HAVE A LEARNING DISABILITY. WHAT SHOULD I DO? I NEED HELP????

I was just curious of what you all think. If you could vote in Las Vegas and the question was to eliminate smoking in restaurants where there was no gaming at the bar would you vote yes to do it or no.

Now, if you could vote to eliminate smoking in all restaurants, even gaming restaurants, would you vote yes to do it or no.

Now remember, this is Vegas.

I am asking for a reason, on our election ballot these were 2 of the questions. I was all for no smoking in non-gaming places, but our business will go way down in gaming places. What do you all think?

It has gotten to the point where I just don't want to go to work.  I am a Telephone service representative. We take orders for quite a few "as seen on TV", do some paging, web campaigns, wireless relay, all those sorts, and I work the midnight shifts.  Some calls I have to take are bad scripted... on-going  upsales and rebuttals, and I have to deal with a lot of people who shouldn't own a TV. I am a people person!! I love people, but I hate them on the phone!!

I just don't feel like doing anything.  I dread having to go to work, I can't wait until my days off, I wish I had all the money in the world where I didn't have to worry about making sure I have enough for my bills.  I have applied at other jobs to try and get me away from this job, but I guess I am just not motivated enough.  Its even somewhat affected my personal life.  I don't even know what I want to do with my life.  I graduated High school in 2000. Decided to take a year off to earn some money and decide what it is I want to do.

Well its almost 2007 and I still don't know what I want to do, I could take a course here and there with what peaks my interest, but that would only work if I had money to blow on them.  I have to be careful where I spend my money, and I don't want to regret doing so.  I often wonder if I am driving myself to depression.  Some days I have no motivation to do anything, don't feel like talking to people, don't feel like going out...nothing, Just want to lay in bed. 

I often worry too much too on stuff I shouldn't need to worry on.  I worry I will be stuck at a dead end job my whole life, I feel I will never be able to have children because I won't be able to afford to take care of them, I feel I will lose my boyfriend, even tho I have complete faith in him, I keep having thoughts "I am not good enough for him, hes probably looking for someone or seeing someone behind my back" I am always suspicious on some stuff. 

Basically I am just going NUTS!!! I have never thought of suicide or anything, but I just feel like giving up on doing anything. 

I need motivation!!!

I AM SUCH A HAPPY PERSON AND JUST LOVE TO HAVE FUN WITH EVERYONE!!! I WORK AT A COMPANY THAT HAS 6 MECHANICS AND ONE OTHER WOMAN THAT WORKS IN THE OFFICE WITH ME. SHE IS MY PROBLEM!!! WE ALL LOVE TO GET OUR WORK DONE AND CUT-UP AT THE SAME TIME, BUT NOT HER SHE IS EITHER SHOPPING ON EBAY, KOHLS OR SOME ON LINE STORE, OR LIKE RIGHT NOW CHATTING ON HER CELL PHONE WHILE EVERYONE ELSE IS BUSTING THEIR ASS!! I AM NOW TAKING 10MINS TO TYPE THIS MESSAGE SO I CAN MAYBE CALM DOWN AND NOT THROW A BOOK AT HER. HERE ARE SOMETHINGS THAT SHE DOES THAT PISS ME OFF!! HER OFFICE AND MINE ARE CONNECTED AND THERE IS A WINDOW THAT SEE CAN SEE ME AND I CAN SEE HER, WELL IN THAT WINDOW SHE FIXES HER HAIR, PUTS ON HER LIP GLOSS AND BLAH BLAH BLAHS. WHEN WE HAVE BATHROOMS THAT ARE RIGHT DOWN THE HALLWAY AND SHE CAN DO ALL OF THAT THERE. AND SHES NOT PRETTY, THE WORST THING ABOUT IT IS MY DESK FACES THE WINDOW SO SHE IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME PRIMPING.  SHE BOSSES EVERYONE AROUND OR AT LEAST TRIES TO AND THEN SINCE HER 1ST COUSIN AND I ARE FRIENDS SHE THINKS WE ARE BUDDIES AND TRIES TO HANG OUT WITH ME ON THE WEEKEND! LIKE THIS PAST WEEKEND WAS MY HUSBANDS BIRTHDAY AND WHEN SHE FOUND OUT ABOUT US GOING OUT TO EAT SHE TRIED TO INVITE HERSELF ALONG AND SAID THAT SHE WAS INVITED, WHEN OUT OF THE 15PEOPLE THAT WENT NO ONE INVITED HER. SHE IS WEIRD!! TWO FRIDAYS AGO I HAD TO GO TO ATLANTA AND SHE GAVE ME THE WORST INSTRUCTIONS THAT SHE COULD! THEY GOT ME TO ATLANTA AND THAT WAS IT. I HAD TO CALL EVERYWHERE THE SCHOOL AND THE HOTEL JUST TO MAKE IT TO THE PLACES. WHEN I SHOWED THE DIRECTIONS TO THE CLERK AT THE HOTEL SHE SAID THAT SHE THINKS THAT MY COWORKER WAS TRYING TO GET ME KILLED BECAUSE SHE WAS SENDING ME TO THE WRONG WRONG SIDE OF TOWN. THERE ARE SO MANY MORE THINGS BUT I HAVE TO GET BACK TO THIS JOB UNLIKE HER! BLESS ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE TO WORK WITH SOMEONE LIKE THIS OR WORSE. I AM OPEN TO ANY SUGGESTED HELP THAT ANYONE CAN GIVE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a woman, not a dude and you gave a callous reply. 

We did work it out.  She found a cologne that doesn't burn my lungs and we're both happy.  This is what adults call conflict resolution, not "give up and leave".
