Christmas with a conscience
The High Street is dead, right? A combination of COVID, online shopping and out-of-town retail parks has killed our town centres. It’s time to move on without waxing nostalgic over the days when granny did her shopping in a collection of local, specialist stores where she knew every shopkeeper by name.

What I learned in 6 weeks unemployed
It's been an interesting 6 weeks of job hunting, interviews and really asking myself what I want to do. I have learned a lot in the last few years but I don't think I realized how much until this experience, so I thought I would share some of those things.

I hate my job...who doesn't?
The title says it very clearly why I am writing these words. I hate my job. Not all aspects, but a good majority of what I am tasked to do. It is demanding and sucks the life and energy from me. I am left wanting, knowing that I am good at what I do, hoping for approval. But it doesn't come often. It feels more like continuous criticism reinforcing my internal struggle for acceptance. I am the general manager at a decently sized restaurant and all I want to do is prove that I am capable. I know I am, most days. Other days I feel as though I am the biggest fraud, pretending like I know what I am doing. My confidence has begun to deteriorate from all of myself that I have given to my job and the responsibilities. It slowly chips away at my soul each time I must address employee issues, concerns, firings, write-ups, etc....anything involving hurting someone else, even if it was their fault. I feel it. I know that to be a leader you must be able to handle these hard moments, but I don't know if I can anymore. It is wrecking me and adding to my anger.

Struggling to be a good parent..
So I have come to realize that even when its 16 degrees outside and the wind is blowing so fiercely that you think your face will fall off, it is still a good time to stand on your back porch and scream like your being murdered. Just to get a minute away from your children.

The Day I Quit My Full-Time Job
I reminisce a moment while filling a scrapbook in 8th grade that had a question: "What is your aim in life"? I wrote that 'I want to work for an MNC' when I did not even fathom the meaning of Multi-National Corporation (MNC).

Just Over Broke
Let me start by saying that during this Pandemic, I have not worked a regular 40 hr a week job since April 2020. After applying to several positions, I am still not working full time yet. The last unemployment data I saw for my home county was 7.2%, with just over 30,000 people living here, that 7.2% is a decent amount of people that do not have a steady income.

The Car in the Rain
The rain came down lightly on a grey, cool day just minutes from Spring, it seemed. I drove my recently acquired mid-size luxury car down a moderately crowded street just before the lunch rush. I wore a dark suit and a wool and cashmere overcoat. I left the coffee shop minutes before. Left because my appointment never showed. A text yielded only a one-word response. A follow-up, nothing. This may have been the last chance.

CSR Story: Spoiled Customers
Besides having worked on multiple retail jobs I have also worked several customer service jobs. The stories are just as interesting as the ones from retail. Through my experiences, I have collected a lot of interesting stories and thought you might find it interesting too. Of course, not only is this for entertainment, but also as learning lessons to CSR (customer service representative) pet peeves.

2020, Chapter One
We all have certain truths we take for granted. Truths we hold dear to, ironclad truths backed by sound logic and prior experiences. Truths we know we can always count on. If we’re honest with ourselves anyway, we all have these truths we cling to. These truths will never, and could not ever, fail us.
