Why Might This Be Happening To Me?

[abbeylee90]

Why is my life like this years single, still at home and not in a full time job.Since my ex just before covid I've been on dates bit no success first guy is my fault as I didn't make any effort I'm forever beating myself up. I meant go be meeting someone Saturday but don't think I like him. Also need a full time job I can settle in I shouldn't be at home at my age.

You said you liked working at McDonald's and found them supportive. 

[abbeylee90]

What do I say to him?

[abbeylee90]

Scoriojo I did when I started 

[scorpiojo]

That you can't afford them at the moment, and will get in touch when you want to restart them.

[scorpiojo]

But Abbey, you said you were there for 5 years, which is far longer than you've stayed in any of the jobs you've had since you joined AB.

[abbeylee90]

Yes I don't live in that area anymore 

[scorpiojo]

What I'm trying to point out, Abbey, is that even though you only "liked it at first", you still managed to stay there for 5 years. Can you not go back to a closer one?

[abbeylee90]

I liked it at first and I been told by a member of staff who works in closest one hates plus I've just on website and no vacancies

Try another food related place, they are always looking for kitchen, cleaning and waiting staff - I worked for three years as a kitchen porter in a carvery restaurant  basically washing up - was sent there by an agency and they offered me a full time job.  Only problem was it was split shifts so I was eating two roast dinners a day and put on about three stone!

[abbeylee90]

Lankeela they're unsociable hours

[1ozzy]

Grow up and take responsibility for your own actions!!

[lankeela]

What do you mean unsociable?  If you work sociable hours but have no money you can't socialise anyway.  Like I said knuckle down to a full time job for a couple of years and get yourself sorted then think about a job with better hours.  I did it for three years working lunch and evening shifts getting home at midnight but what I earned solved my financial problems at the time.

Have you tried praying?

Abbeylee, really! 'Unsocial hours' as an excuse not to work! 

You still haven't got your priorities right - besides, 'unsocial' hours working bring better rates of pay. My daughter and her then boyfriend did not join in the milennium celebrations with everyone else.  Why?  They applied to be security personnel at the huge parties everyone else was going to & they made a mint of money for a few  'unsocial hours' work.

You MUST change your priorities because in many ways you are bringing your misfortunes on yourself.
