Long story short - I have worked at a restaurant as a host for two years part-time while in high school. My manager had always disliked me, she had her favorites and I wasn’t one. I didn’t mind, as I knew I was a great employee.

Well today, she promised a group of 12 they’d be in within the hour (which was implausible) - so to do that she asked me to skip about 10 different parties for this table that were already over their quote 10 minutes! This would have had them waiting an additional 5/10 minutes! I told her I would not do it, because I didn’t feel comfortable doing that. Her response was “You’ll do it because I’m your boss!” I responded negatively with this and said “I will do whatever I see fit, I’m not lying to customers.”

She’s used the phrase “You’ll do it because I’m your boss” a lot in my two years there. It’s clear she’s a terrible woman. Now I’ve been written up for “Review of termination” meaning I’ll be gone probably within a few days.

I’m pleased, really! How do I go about explaining this whilst looking for new jobs? I’m still in high school but this 2 year job was my only experience. Do I still put on applications that I was employed there? Do I explain? help!
Rumble rumble roar, spammers will be shot on sight.

even though I doubt you’ll heave this warning.

I am in college and where I live we have a big dining room like a restaurant.
Any way one night I was sitting at the table eating my dinner and I noticed these girls laughing really loudly and I looked up and they were looking in my direction.
I thought they were laughing at me or maybe I was being paranoid. Then I stared at them and they kept they kept laughing and they tried to stop laughing when I was staring at them. When I looked down again I’m sure I heard them saying things like “look at the way she eats or look she’s scratching her hair”. (it’s true that I was scratching/rubbing my hair or face but only once it’s not like I sit there and do it all the time.)
The next day I asked one of them why they were laughing at me and she denied that was.
She said “you were just there when I was having a laughing fit”
The thing is the girl I talked to seemed normal and approachable when I confronted her about laughing at me.
She seemed like she was telling the truth but I still had doubts in my mind. She even told me she was studying medicine and a college RA so that is why I think I am paranoid because why would someone like waste their time laughing at me???
The next night (this was after I approached her) I noticed them laughing really loudly again like they were doing it on purpose so I would know they were laughing at me. one of them said “subtle” in a really loud voice. If someone says that I take it mean that they are trying to imply that they are not really ’subtle’ and trying to get my attention/make me feel unconfortable. If I think this way does it make me crazy/paranoid/self-centered or would people really do that?

Does this whole thing sound insane to people reading it because if it does I guess I am paranoid.

I AM FED UP!! Plain and simple! I have been trying to tell my partner for awhile that I am just not happy. Things have got to change…I believe that I have done all the changing in this relationship. I moved hundreds of my miles away from my friends and my job. I uprooted the kids in order to be with him his life just carried on as I struggled to fit into it..into the restaurant and a very difficult situation there. I lost my independence and confidence.
Now here we are 6 years on with money worries no home to call our own and a total feeling of uncertainty.
Just because I do everything for this family does not mean I can keep doing it all by myself and I am sick of everyone expecting me to. I’ve had all the responsibility for everyone and everything in this family an no one appreciates it.
There is no intimacy between us, no sex and no real communication. In my efforts to be perfect for him I now feel invisible and like the real me is disappearing and the harder I try the more of a failure I feel

My resume is based mostly around my experience as a musician..handling equipment, performing at various places, how long i’ve been playing.. etc
I have my highlights of qualifications : reliable, punctual, self motivated etc and my education and volunteer experience on there also, but no real job experience.
If i’m going to be handing these out at
grocery stores, clothing stores, book stores, restaurants and any other places for a part time job would this music experience be completely irrelevant? Or is any experience good? How could I go about changing my resume to fit all sorts of places if I don’t have the experience to back it up?
Please + Thanks!

My husband and I are both in our early 20s and noticing that we’re getting a little… pudgier, and our clothes aren’t quite as comfortable and loose as they were a few months ago. We are cutting down restaurant eatings to once a week starting next week, and I’m going to ATTEMPT to cut out carbonated drinks altogether in favor of water and juices. Neither of us like sweets, so that’s not a problem. The problem is that I, in particular, am ALWAYS hungry. I can eat a normal meal, and be hungry again in the next hour. We don’t exercise often, but we are almost always constantly moving throughout the day.

What are some healthy ways for us to slim back down to our normal size? I am not looking for a number of pounds to lose, or to lose it so quickly it’s unhealthy. We just want to fit in our jeans comfortably. :/

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

My GD is 11 years old . Her waist measures ‘37 inches and her height is 58 inches. How much should the average girl her height weigh ? She gets sad looking at all the clothes that don’t fit her (I’m saving them). She also gets sad b/c she cant fit in at school and fit in to the stuff they wear . Last year she skipped her lunch every day (which I didn’t know until her teacher told me) she gets bullied at school. She tells me she don’t want a belly anymore . camp is coming soon and I’m worried about her. I know this is suppose to be my DD’s account but shes in the hospital. I don’t keep junk food in my house or soft drinks. I think my GD is over eating on the weekends but shes with her uncle who probably over feeds her, but i cant put the blame on him . how do i help her and help her lose weight ? please help me
i know i all ready posted this in other groups but, i really need help.
now heres the venting part.
Why cant healthy foods be cheaper? why cant they post calorie counts on local restaurants and dinners? why dose my son have to eat every under the sun when my GD is around it only encourages her to eat! why do kids have to be so mean?

thanks x

My daughter is 21 months old and she frequently has temper tantrums. At home I can deal with it. I just let her scream and throw a fit until she wears herself out or forgets why she’s upset in the first place. She usually stops after a few minutes. But in public most of the time I can’t just ignore her. When we’re out in public she gets so excited, wants to run around and get into stuff, and do stuff that I often can’t allow her to do. At restaurants she refuses to sit still for too long and starts to wiggle and whine and eventually throw a fit. In the grocery store she gets anxious in the basket. When we’re out shopping she wants to run in the opposite direction and gets very upset when I won’t let her. If we’re in an environment where I can let her run around and do what she wants then I let her, but most of the time I can’t. I try to redirect her attention as soon as I see a tantrum boiling up, but she goes from 0 to 60 in no time flat, so it’s hard to catch them. It’s getting to the point where I don’t wanna take her anywhere anymore. I need some mommy advice!

I feel sooo unattractive….when I’m on the road, on the streets, at a restaurant…just ANYWHERE. I always look around to try and find a woman that I find attractive to try and talk to her but sometimes when I do…they stare at me and look away. I’ve always heard that when that happens that they dont find u attractive….and that happens ALOT. one time I was on the road and these girls were next to me, i noticed the driver was staring at me, then she looked away and a few seconds later her friend got out of her laid back position and stared at me for a second and looked away smiling but I always feel that when they smile, that they are laughin at me in a bad way…I’ve never had the guts to ask if I am attractive so I guess this internet thing might help me….can some women comment back lettin me know what y’all think? of my picture?

I am not very good with computers or the internet so I had to make a new question sorry…
No need to be sorry Sarah S…..I’m here for opinions and yurs is just as important as all the others…thanks for sayin somethin
Please someone else answer me….. :\

I want very small script across my both of my wrists. It’s going to be on the underside of my wrists (the part of my arm that would only be shown with my palms up) and it means a lot to me. I’ve wanted it for a while and I’m soon going to be old enough to get it. My only concern is jobs. I want to become a graphic designer. Do you think a field as artistic as that one would mind such a small tattoo?

Also, it wont effect my chances of getting into college will it? I will be applying to art schools, so I think they expect a few people who don’t quite fit the mold of “normal.” lol

The tattoo will be very small and easily covered by long sleeves or bracelets, but I’m worried that even asking employers about their tattoo policies could cause a problem. I used to work with a girl who had a ring tattoo and she said she was turned away from a local restaurant because of it even after she offered to hide it with a real ring, or make up.
