    or school?

    Work is good. Ramping up. Sometimes it can be a bit too hectic to juggle. Had to leave work early for a class yesterday evening but I needed that time to finish an assignment. Spent too much time this morning going back on the stuff I rushed last night.
     
    put my two weeks in on wednesday and am very happy - moving from a high pressure corporate environment to a much less stressful community atmosphere with infinitely less red tape is what i've wanted for a couple of months now. enjoyed my time there, but to be honest, not sure if i accomplished anything and it just wasn't worth the pressure and the bitchy, dead-eyed coffee drones.

    but i got the fantastic recommendation so that's what counts! i enjoyed my job, but i'd much rather not be mentally (and perhaps morally) devoid by the time i started back at uni next year.
     
    Work is stressful right now but that is the joy of retail. The non consistent hours + constant call outs are really making me consider putting in my two weeks Right Now, but I know that I cannot do that until I find another job.
     
    College is great. First week went so much better than I expected and I've already made a group of friends. Not working atm because at this stage I'd probably find it too stressful to juggle work and college at the same time. I'll probably end up snapping up a part time job at the start of next year, though.
     
    I'm actually gearing up to return to the workforce. Right now the majority of my occupation is in freelance. I am excited. Hopefully I will be able to maintain projects on the side as well.
     
    I dropped my knowledge to be a trainer at one of my jobs a couple days ago. I am just going to be a regular person there now yay.
    I also am going to start my 2nd job this weekend so i'm excited.
    School is going alright tho

    That's cool to hear, I know not so many people in fact who really like their work :)
    As for me, I found a flexible-time job a year ago which is very cool because I can combine it with studying at university :) I work as a copywriter, I like writing different articles and being creative in that way :) Also I don't need to contact with a great amount of people which is good too because sometimes can be very stressful, like for example, in case of doctors and nurses https://nursection.com/nursing-informatics-job-description/ >_> Very many of my friends suffer from working with other people >_>
    And I have a good salary :)

    student here. im really enjoying school and learning about shit but my math teacher is kinda scenile so that makes things tough. overall, im keeping good grades (4.0 boys) so thats cool. im doing all vanilla classes at the moment (starting ap next year, hopefully). having a great time overall.
     
    We're about to end Q3 and start Q4 campaigns which is this gigantic headache of planning, reporting, analyzing, and executing a large number of campaigns. Due to people leaving the company, the person who helps out on my account hardly touches it anymore. It's great because that means more ownership for me, but it sucks during quarterly transitions. I've been putting in way more hours than I should be.
     
    Good. I do enjoy it for the most part but the constant anxiety attacks are a bit annoying, plus I jammed my finger in a door today are its all purple and gross looking, and far too many of my colleagues have seen me cry. (too be fair its hurts like hell)
     
    work is good, really nothing notable to say there. school is good too, but my math class has been really hard for me and I'm pretty worried about it.

    today definitely assured me that i made the right decision in leaving this job
    no way would i have willingly stayed for another few months
     
    Work is work right now. I used to hate it but now i try to enjoy it and the money that comes from it.

    Keyword: try
     
    I spent between 15-20 hours on a report, working late nights and weekends to meet the deadline only to be told before my last edit that they don't want it anymore.

    Then they gave me another intensive report for Monday.
     
    Im still waiting for my employer to actually text me for a job. i understand its slow season, but dang its been like 2 weeks. (i cater)
     
    I hate my job so much. I have been trying to leave there pretty actively within recent months. I recently got hired at a restaurant where a few of my friends from my last job went to after our job closed, and they love it there. I got hired as a food runner, so I wouldn't be making too much money. I want to scope it out and see how much money I'll be making before I let go of the job that I currently have. I made the mistake of jumping the gun when I finally got a chance to leave that I put in my two weeks notice of resignation. Then I thought it over and realized that financially that wasn't the smartest thing to do. So for a little while I'm going to be working two jobs.

    Regarding school, this semester I was supposed to go. But I checked my school email that I didn't know what all set up (I was under the impression student email addresses at this school weren't set up until two weeks after you registered for classes) until long after the due date for initial standard course length registration was and got a notice saying that I needed my financial aid to be verified, which took upwards to 30 days, which means I couldn't go this semester unless I took accelerated courses, and I simply don't have the capacity right now to put myself in that situation since I have been out of school for quite a while, and I have a busy workload.
     
    Work's mighty fine, my current contract ended yesterday and I'm starting my permanent position on monday. With slightly better salary, and it was already good to begin with. So the harsh financial situation I endured during 6 years of university, is certainly over <3
