I’m 29 today :)

morning at Sandy Hook, NJ had me feeling like I was in Danger on Deception Island :) (man I wishhhh I was in the PNW tho!!) me and my boyfriend looked for horseshoe crabs, found some regular crabs, and watched some snails, fish, and hermit crabs in the water!
my birthday is always so difficult for me. I have a good group of friends, a great family, and a lovely boyfriend but I still feel so alone. I don’t have many people around me that share the same interests and sometimes I feel like an outsider.
while I don’t contribute to this reddit often, it’s given me such a comfort to see other people love and chat about one of my favorite games. I was so excited to feel this way at the beach and was eager to share how I felt with this group :)

unsure about my new hair, don’t know what my next steps should be

I had just had my hair colored and I’m slightly freaking out cause idk if how to feel 😭 the last picture is my inspo pic. I really wanted a chocolate Neapolitan look with a chunky color block, which placement-wise I got. I also took a photo of how much I lifted too. as a result I got a more reddish, brassy color. in some lights the front pieces do look blonde but overall the colors are meshing and I’m unsure how to feel. I do like the color on me but in reality it isn’t what I wanted.

idk what my next steps should be. I do trust my hair stylist and I feel like I should tell her how I feel but part of me wants to wait it out. I just am unsure my hair should be bleached again (and honestly this was a 7 hour hair day and I can’t even think about wanting to sit through that again). should I get a blue shampoo and see if the brass is the problem? or talk to my stylist and see a solution?

or does it look good and am I tripping lollllll idk help please 🤪

hi guys - for some background, I’m a 28 year old who just started working at TJs. for the past 5 years I’ve worked as a server and I absolutely love it but I desperately have been looking for something consistent and I got very lucky to get a job at Trader Joe’s.

I started my first week last week and it’s been great! it goes by fast and I feel like I’m getting the hang of it quicker than expected. I’m working mostly the mornings and I prefer them, plus Friday and Saturdays I have to serve at night.

I simply can’t just work at TJs as my main source of income; unfortunately in this economy + renting in NJ, 18.50 an hour just doesn’t cut it. I sometimes make a week of TJ’s income in one night serving. however, the balance is absolutely killing me and I don’t know what to do or how I’m gonna be able to do this.

I know I have just started but it feels like even with 3 days off, I am working so much. as of now I work Wednesdays any time at TJs, Friday mornings (the 4am shift) then my serving job at 5:30, Saturday mornings (trying for the 6am but they told me it’s hard the get) then serving at 5:30, then 2pm at my serving job on Sunday. even my Thursdays feel overwhelming knowing I have to wake up the next day so early.

both jobs obviously need Fridays and Saturdays and I just can’t give it up. I obviously too down the line wanna work to get benefits for TJs but this balance is driving me crazy. I’m sitting here at my serving job crying because I just don’t know what to do about how overwhelmed I feel. I simply can’t quit either of these jobs and I want them but I don’t know how do handle the stress.

I know how TJs cares about the work/life balance so I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on how I can chat to them about how overwhelmed I feel and how to balance this.

realistically - does this sound worth it too? does anyone else have any other jobs and if so how do you balance it?

I just really need some help and validation. I wanna give myself this month to see how I feel too but I am so beyond exhausted already and nervous how this is all gonna play out.
