I've bee trying to lose 45 pounds for the last year and id weigh food but honestly id half -ass it so of course the scale never moved. I got sick of my own bullshit so I weighted all my food and I stopped eating sweets for a month. I successfully lost 5 pounds, I was feeling great and with the junk food out of the house the food noise just left. I decided to go to trader Joe's last week and I bought more crap because this time I was going to be in better control. Fucking NOPE! I returned to all the bad habits again. I just threw everything out. I feel like a horrible person for wasting food but I need to stop lying to myself. Im not one of those people that can just have a cookie once a week, maybe eventually i can but not right now. I feel awful and so damned guilty

I don't even know what you'd call it. I was speaking and I went to reach for a pen and I sent out the gutteral throat noise and turned into a wild board for a second. I have no idea what that but the caller had to have heard it. Anyway that was my embarrassing CC moment, what's yours?

This always happens when I start a new job. At my most recent job at a call center I was being trained on the software, I was just watching while taking notes. Im just trying to remember the steps and no questions are coming to mind at all. Once im put on the computer all the questions start flooding in. The trainer obviously gets annoyed because I had 0 questions during the training session. Is this normal or am I just really stupid?

The US government just released a games page. What do you think of it?

I can’t do my work of my computer program is not working . I called IT which is fortunately in our building and I tell them I need help. They say that they will access my computer remotely or someone will come to my desk . They never ever do anything until I physically walk over there. I wanted 3 hours yesterday and then I had to drag them to my desk to fix it. I’m new to office work, ia this normal?

I just realized that I only do my hobbies when life is going decent. As soon as things aren’t great I drop everything like a hot potato. What about you?

To be honest, this job does not pay very well so I don't want to do anything fancy. Im thinking of a $30 US budget. Everyone already has tumblers , earbuds and powerbanks.​ Maybe a snack basket?

Eta: the crappy pay isn't my doing, it's the hire-ups who determine the pay. Im paid crap too.

Ages: 20-50

occasion: just because. We are throwing a little office party with pizza and snacks with a raffle so that we can show the staff we appreciate their hard work.

I’ve worked for this company for 4!years in customer service and I was just promoted to supervisor of this department 2 months ago. I thought I knew pretty much everything but I still get tripped up. My subordinates will ask me something that I genuinely don’t know the answer to and it’s kind of embarrassing. Yes, I know a lot but it’s not like I took on this role and automatically downloaded all the knowledge into my brain. Since we are customer service I need to have an answer on the spot. I’m starting to wonder if this role just isn’t for me. How do you handle stuff that you just don’t know the answer to without looking like an idiot?

I have a 12 year old active chihuahua mix that has stage 2 kidney disease. He hates his kidney medication. I’ve tried mixing it with his food, I’ve tried broth and a product called kibble sauce. He will make a motion with his head like he is trying to bury it . I can’t hide it in normal stuff like
Cheese, everything has to be low in protein, calcium and phosphates . Does anyone have suggestions??!!

ETA its a liquid medication

I've only been in this role as a supervisor for 5 weeks and I feel overwhelmed. I just feel like my head is always on a swivel. Between making sure everyone is on time, making sure everyone is on time for breaks,answering questions from staff, helping ou 6 new employees, making sure things are actually getting done, having to console a staff member who's having home issues, while still doing my normal stuff that needs to get done.

It feels like A LOT. I just feel like there are just so many little things that I need to keep track of and I have to constantly write stuff down. Is this normal? Does it get better? I keep wondering if im not cut out for this.

​

I feel like thats the only genre that exists and im getting burnt out. I'd also like to mention that I have already watched everything cult-related. Are there any "happy documentaries" like Twinsters?

ETA: THANK YOU!! YOU GYYS ARE AWESOME!

I used to have e tons of hobbies and passions and I've slowly lost them over 20 years. The main ones were drawing and photography. I loved them so much i wasn't even that good but I loved them for over 20 years. I loved looking at other peoples work, I loved learning new techniques and seeing myself get better. I had some difficult moments in my life so I put them on the back burner. Ive tried tk get back into them but that spark is gone. I had other things I dabbled in aswell but I've lost those as well. I have one hobby left that I enjoy a but i scared to stop doing it in case I lose that one too

Its absolutely bizarre. I am so careful and make sure I follow the pattern until im left with 1 stitch on each side of needle after the gap. When I count the total number left on the heel needle I always 4 or 5 extra stitches. the heel looks good, its not crooked or anything but im definitely doing something wrong.

I work in the callcenter for a billing company.. im not a biller, I just a verbal punching bag. We have this constant issue where patients are being billed specialist copays for their PCP's. The patients call their insurance and the insurance tells that we are submitting claims incorrectly. From my research it seems the issue is with how the provider is credentials. I've explained this to patients and ​I basically get called a liar who doesnt know what they are doing. Im stuck in the middle and its getting frustrating. Ive had 4 patients yell at me today. thanks for reading

I have glaucoma and I just started taking Thc gummies as a way to unwind and I just discovered that CBD may cause increase in intraoccular pressure which is something I dont want. Do edibles exist without CBD??

I work in a call center, I was a customer service rep and my boss and I were promoted . She was promoted to manager while I was promoted to assistant manager . I am supppaed to help our reps when they get stumped but they are still going to my boss for help. I feel like nothing has changed, I’m still doing my old job.

I thought this would be a good step up but now I just feel like maybe I’m not cut out for this, I’m not the take charge authoritative type. I think my promotion was a mistake, I have no idea what I’m doing .

This seems super sketchy to me.

I was offered a promotion I was told I’d get the detail of the role and the pay the next day. It has been over a week and have not received anything. I messaged my boss and was told that they didn’t send it because I didn’t accept it. Now they are making me wait until the end of next week.

I don’t know what to do. I would love a raise but I feel like they are just playing games just so they can low ball me. At the same time I don’t want to press the issue unless they take the offer back. This feels highly unethical

It kind of sucks that noone knows the real me. Everyone sees part of my life and some of the stupid moments but noone truly knows everything except for me. Im glad of course but at the same time noone understands why I have low self esteem.

I've never been a supervisor before and im super nervous about it. I've accepted the role and now I'm having regrets. I have not started yet.

I was selected because im knowledgeable. Im more than happy to answer questions from my subordinates but im really concerned about having to handle large problems. Just the thought of everyone coming to me becase XYZ happened and is causing a major issue is freaking me out. I am going to try it out just fkr the experience but I've been a nervous wreck for the last 3 days
