Hi 👋, former batista here , I read your post about your work situation and even tho you and me live in completely different places in the world , I have experienced exactly the same thing . My heart goes to you my friend. I know it sounds like a lot right now bc you're in uni and finding another job seems like a massive hurdle, been there myself, but you have to find another job in retail if you must that isn't so exhausting. I now work in a supermarket, and even though I have other things to look out for , at least I'm not by myself, and if I need help others will help me ,also I'm not cleaning all of this place alone.
You can try working in a clothes shop, sweet shop (idk how to say that in English sorry) ,or as a tutor for young kids or as a full time waitress, (these are all jobs I've considered in my country) . My advice is to choose a place with lots of other people working there .
I don't know your living situation so I'm sorry if this message offended you in any way , I really hope you find another place that is 10 times better than your current one .
🩷😘
oh dear, thank you for caring enough to send me this! it doesn't offend me at all! i've actually worked all those jobs before. working at a supermarket might be the worst job ever, followed by retail. i really want something related to my desired area, but it's impossible unless i do an internship first (which doesn't even cover my rent). i did end up talking to my boss because i had reached my limit and she promised she'd find someone to share the tasks, so i think things will get better soon :-)

#i'm a barista who's also a cashier and cleaner that whole damn thing#and we're supposed to work in 3 here#but most of the time i'm by myself#and she manages another coffee in another city#so she isn't around as much#and the fucked up thing is that i'm good at my work i shouldn't be this good but i handle everything flawlessly and#that's what's fucking me 😃#i'm constantly overloaded i can't go through a week without feeling so so so stressed#and i get minimum wage. it isn't enough#i was exhausted Before starting uni. now imagine how i'm feeling with uni#i'm so tired my god#the girl that helps me out in the morning#works 6 hours#didn't come today so again i had to handle everything myself#and she told me privately she didn't came because she was exhausted and having body pain..#likeee can you imagine how i feel???

study of the love note
there is something about the action of folding that is integral to the love note. once folded, it’s charged with a furtive and hopeful magic, like finishing a spell
