    Doing the job was sort of like a puzzle, so I found that part fun as well. What's the best way to organize your boxes? You can hide some boxes, but then write down the number on another box of the same type. We have union protection here though, and I've heard the job is way worse in the US, so I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. It was also a minimum wage job.

    One of my primary goals in life has been to get by for as long as possible without ever taking a service or customer facing job. Thus far, I've mostly succeeded. I'm just saying, that I totally understand what you are talking about in regards to your job. Having unclear instructions and unrealistic expectations really sucks. I hope things get better for you. All jobs are not created equal.

    Thank you. I am a lawyer working in a very small office but the responsibility is so heavy. There are so many things i don't know and i am so scared of making mistakes. No one helps me either

    I always get self conscious when i watch movies or shows with autistic/socially awkward characters in them with my parents. I get so anxious that they know about me but don't talk about it

    Yeah i hate watching shows or movies with autistic characters in them. The only one i liked was Mozart and the Whale

    I also liked Big Bang Theory. sure, very exaggerated, but that´s quite normal for a sit-com and I found that they did their work good with the autistic characters.

    I.. hate that show Hahaha. Hated every character even though i watched very little, it was enough for me

    My coworkers left together without inviting me. I am so used to being ignored and i have come to such a stage i didn't feel much sadness. I won't be a likable person to these people's standards no matter what i do. It's my limitation

    They met up somewhere i was also at. And they knew i would be there too, we wouldn't be in close contact either way. It is an open space.

    That was stupid of them. You continue to be your great self. I find a lot of cliques in work places. It is usually not nice people who clique. I would have just gone over and say hey- hi. Funny running into you here. Then left smiling.

    I worked from home today as well, since my coworkers were scared of getting infected.
    Tomorrow will be a busy day though, *sigh*
    AprilR
    I decide to wait and see if i get fired until february. On february i will be working for one year in this office, so i will have the right to demand compensation. That's why i think he will do it until then.

    I found that a lot of Europeans are beautiful people. Even eccentric at times. You may do just fine in Japan. Just trust your gut if a situation doesn't feel right.

    Ah i am sure that nothing bad will happen, Japan is a very safe country. But i am worried about being isolated there as i am here. But i have heard people are more lenient of differences when you are in a foreign country since you are well.. A foreigner. We will see

    They can be racist, so just be aware of that. I was waving to the gypsies in Europe, and l was told, no, no, no, don't do that. In Finland, a young girl walked up and asked my employer if l was a gypsy. Lol

    Losing my friend feels like i lost part of myself that i was trying to hold on to.

    Even the most precious relationships fade over time. I couldn't make it last. I feel empty.

    I'll work from home tomorrow too. My coworkers seemed to want that, since i am coughing a lot and they might have been scared that i will infect them too.

    Mom's are a necessary evil. I did my best to really support my daughter.

    I am so used to keeping my problems to myself even writing things here seems strange sometimes. But when i keep things to myself it seems like my problems aren't even real, they don't even exist
    AprilR
    I am ashamed of myself everyday at work. It requires too much responsibility and i keep making mistakes

    I know, thank you for saying that anyway. Sometimes i feel like i have no value whatsoever apart from the job i do.

    Sorry you're feeling down about this. You hold a job. That is the definition of success. There are some people that can't do this. I can hold jobs but l would rather quit then put up with rude co-workers. I make mistakes too. Nobody is perfect.

    Thank you so much, i am also proud of myself for lasting this long. It will be a year soon!
    Just wish people would appreciate how hard i try.
    AprilR
    Yes i already know i am dumb, No i can't just quit work even though i am. Because no one believes me when i say i cannot work, they all think i am so smart. I am so tired from thinking about this stuff so much.
    AprilR
    I am not adult enough for all this

    My mom can walk now with a walking stick. We are still being careful not to leave her alone in case she gets dizzy

    Went to an event that is compulsory to attend for me. Needless to say, i escaped right after. Too many people too much noise and it reminds me of school too much

    Pros: I also met with my friend, and talked about some stupid mindless stuff. I am glad to have someone i can be a child with

    Made a Major mistake at work, i basically misunderstood the situation while trying to understand on my own by researching. I don't care as much as i expected though.

    There is something freeing about giving up, about understanding your limitations and those of your environment. I was never meant to work in this field, thats all

    Not caring can be a good concept from anxiety.
    AprilR
    Taking tomorrow off from my job bc my mom still can't get up on her own.
    AprilR
