What is your job?

I work in a certain type of shop which requires customer service, i pretty good at that side of things just there is so much to do and learn and there is no training plan and my messages to people and *complaints* are just not getting through, i have my own personal issues that are affecting me and im just literally giving up on life. Im very very tired of it at the moment.

That sucks.. I really hate the feeling of being unsupported at work. And to have other personal things on top of a stressful work environment.. Im just sorry to hear its like that. If you need to vent or anything you can hit me up.

I really appreciate you not doing what i have had said to me before when feeling like this and thats be thankful you have a job etc....

I am totally unsupported, they know of my difficulties, plus the company training is a utter disgrace, i hate my life and i hate it more when im there and on my way home from there, it actually makes me cry and wish other things. Cheers for your supportive words though

Northlad, if you are in customer service, you have a bitch of a job--no two ways about it. Please try to be specific about what is worst for you and folks here will be able to help more than if you just say that things are awful. That is a given in dealing with customers. It is VERY hard work.

Most such jobs have gazillions of procedures and do not have very good ways of wxplainging them. They also have lots of people who are not sure of what they are doing with those procedures so the information you are working with is orften shaky. Sound familiar?

First, do the best you can. When you need to learn how to handle something, try to limit yourself to that problem and take notes. You can't solve the whole thing at once.You might keep a little diary that notes recurring problems to work on, but you should try very hard to keep your frustration focused.

Also, close the door on work when you leave. Work hard, and I mean like it was a second job, on developing things that make you feel good. Walking? Gym? Volunteer work? Playing music? Taking care of your house? Learning to cook or garden? Collecting videos? Whatever it might be, go for it and distract yourself from work. But even more important that distraction is that you have fun.

Take good care of your physical self. That means exercising your genitalia too. Eat decently, get good sleep, find a mate or two and play hard.

Just a few hints from someone at the other end of the span. Keep in touch and know that we are pulling for you.

Ive always hated that sort of response.. "I had a terrible commute today.." "Yeah but children are starving in Africa."

Its like.. thanks for the perspective.... but no one wants to feel like their own experiences or emotions are invalid simply because they are not the one individual in the entire world who is suffering the most at this moment.

Its ok to have a crap day, a crap job, and to feel like crap. That is life. And its not a reflection on you that you feel that way. What is important though, is how you respond to it. And I don't think there is one right or wrong way to do that. You say you want to run away from it all.. sometimes a fresh start is the right choice. Sometimes buckling down and pushing through is. But only you can make that choice and only you can know which is truly right for you and your own life.

But it can be helpful to know the opinions of others. And if you feel stuck, its a good thing that you can reach out for advice and help. If at the very least, to know that you aren't hanging out in space all by yourself.
