Hey Guys!
So I know you’re all waiting to hear how the new job is going… and I’ve been quite bad at responding to comments/reading posts lately.
Well.. the thing is… I’m miserable. I don’t like it. It’s not what I expected at all and really… I just miss my old job/my life.
The people are nice, it’s just the work. It’s not what I want to do… at all. I want a more creative job. A marketing/design job. This is more accounting.
And sure, I’ll get my own office, and have a lot of money, but is that worth it?
Two days. Two days was all it took for me to call my old boss and leave him a voice mail. I haven’t heard from him yet, but I’m hoping to get my old job back.
Because really, I’m miserable here. I spend my days anxious and stressed… I cry during my lunch break, and I cry during my drive home.
It’s not even the longer hours, it’s just the work. I am not a bookkeeper. I am not an accounting person.
I am an artsy girl, and that’s what I want to do.
I miss my old job 
A lot
And apparently I’m not in my right mind because I gave some guy at Shop Rite my number lol
It’s been a long 2 days… full of headaches, tears, and vomiting…
Gross? Yea….
I’m praying my boss calls me back and lets me come back soon because I don’t know how much more of this stress I can take.
I just hope it won’t be pathetic if I do come back….
Any advice?
Sorry this is so depressing, I just really haven’t been in a cheerful mood lately.
xx

I’m really sorry it isn’t what you liked or thought or wanted. I would say stick it out for a bit longer and see but only you can really tell that you know? Sometimes you have to sift through muddy waters to get to a clean stream. Thinking of you.

Oh no sweetie!! I am so so sorry this is not turning into what you want it to be
I think you might try to stick it out a little longer. These sort of transitions are always really hard and sometimes it gets a bit easier. hang in there and reach out to family and friends for support. Try to do something good for yourself everyday after work. I’m sending you happy thoughts!!

Awwr hun I’m so sorry to hear that the new job isn’t what you thought it would be
It might be a good idea to stick it out for a while and see if you get used to it, since sometimes it’s mostly the change and the fear that we made a bad choice that makes us the most miserable… but if you really, REALLY think that things won’t get better and you hear back from your old boss with some good news, then I suppose you can always go back. Still, it sounded like you were ready to move on from that old job, so maybe staying with this one for a while and looking for something that you’d really like to do would be best?

Oh man, I’m so sorry girl! Try to look at the positive (easier said than done, right?), like your coworkers. And always remember that no job is forever!! I’m sending lots of happy thoughts in your direction.

oh no I am so sorry. i think you should maybe to talk to those that know you and really say what you don’t like about it. maybe you can find that silver lining so you can hold out for a bit. maybe it will get better with a bit of time.
