Stop kicking the guy
My best jobs were gained only when unemployed!
Did making tea & coffee get me respected at 33, even though I enjoy it, absolutely not!! The non taxing but favourite duty even went against at one or two interviews...
I read this thread a different way0 -
Really 3 days? 3 days is no where long enough to feel settled and get used to the job, the environment and the people you are working with. Seems you chickened out at the first chance you got. Are you going to do this with any job you get if you find something not to your liking?0

Running on Empty. I'll say it once. My anger problem isn't a way of sympathy. It's telling it like it is. Some people are built to take stress really well but some aren't. Unfortunately, I fall under the latter and I rather wish I didn't.
Also, I'm not a slacker. I'm really trying desperately to find a better job and one that I can stick to. You're just going to use this as a 'quick fire' response to back up your claim of my being a "sympathy seeker", but whatever. Use it however you will. Being bullied all the way through school hasn't really left me with the most confident of personalities. When you aren't confident, you get targeted by customers and that isn't the greatest feeling in the world. It is only something I'd of not dealt with very well to begin with. As I say, I was told I'd be doing day shifts, however that turned out to be untrue as they failed to let me know at interview stage that it would be nights only.
Every job has stress. People learn to deal with it. And most people have issues with confidence when they start out. I lost count of how many times I nearly ran to the loos crying in my first job. I was very shy so did get targeted by bullying customers, but over time I learnt to deal with it. I now train young new recruits and I see them go through their own issues. I had one lad who would physically shake before he had to work on the front desk, but after a few months he was chatting away to the customers. It really does take time to learn how to deal with work.0 -

Who are you to judge someone from a post on the internet?
Can I judge you for judging people?0 -

I remember a job doing night work at sainsburys. Never worked out and was tin tacked. Luckily I got a job a month later at a quite hospiltal ( got 3 days extra annual leave for doing the first year without having a day off ) and did the job from 1997 upto 2012.
Was offered a job last year at a private hospital but I got a police caution and they never took me on in the end.
Cleaning flats now two days a week and doing 2 paper rounds.
Have you thought about portering. I loved it working in A&E.0
