I had the most fun @ #EckerdDrug when

On truck delivery day, ,stocking the shelves, also enjoyed running the register and helping customers find what they needed. As an asst mgr I enjoyed doing the balancing of all the registers, ordering merchandise, training new hires, setting up endcaps, etc.

The Heart of Self-Worth

At its core, your level of self-worth is your answer to a single internal question: "How deserving am I?" Or, to put it more directly as it pertains to your daily life: "How good can I stand it today?" If you observe your life very closely, you will discover that you don't necessarily get what you deserve. Rather, you get no more and no less than what you believe you deserve. Only to the degree that you appreciate your inner human worthiness will your subconscious mind open up to life's bounty. Success involves talent, effort, and creativity, but first of all, it required a willingness to receive. You know, rain may pour down from the heavens, but if you only hold up a thimble, a thimbleful is all you receive.

When a window of opportunity appears, do you pull the shade?  Do you know, the most sensitive, self-reflective souls among us - those of us with the highest vision, ideals, and standards - often have the lowest sense of self - worth, because we constantly fail to meet our own idealized standards.

If self-worth had no impact on your actions - if it were contained within the feelings dimension alone - it's only power would be over your moods. Sometimes you'd feel worthy (a pleasant feeling) and sometimes not ( an unpleasant feeling). And that would be that.

However, low self-worth also influences actions, generating tendencies to sabotage your own efforts, so that things just don't seem to turn out well. You feel unlucky at times or feel as though you are being punished, when in reality you are only punishing yourself. You do this through behaviors of which you aren't fully aware. Or, like the alcoholic who knows he drinks but doesn't view it as a problem, you may be aware of your behavior without acknowledging its destructive impact.

I have never known anyone who wasn't affected at some time or in some way by self-sabotage or subtle self-destructive behavior in the areas of money, relationship, education or career. The question repeats itself in different forms: How high will you rise? How good can you stand it?

The moment we recognize the degree to which our difficulties are self-imposed, we begin to heal them. We end self-sabotage only by taking responsibility for our choices and actions that created it. Only when we stop blaming our boss or government or parents can we change our lives and say with conviction, "I chose where I am now, and I can choose something better.

Inside you is untapped strength of will, of spirit, of heart. The kind of strength that will not flinch in the face of adversity. You have only to remember your purpose, the vision that brought you to Earth-the vision that will take you to the stars-to the depths of the oceans and up the stairway to the soul. Great strength of will resides within you, waiting for expression.

Reminded why this job can be great!

I've been trying to switch careers from food service to healthcare for a long time now. Ever since I got my certifications I've had one foot out the door at my current job while I look for jobs in healthcare, which is why I was so surprised today when I got the sweetest compliment ever while working today. I was serving a family of three and brought them their check. The little boy must have been about 6, but he whipped out his little velcro Spiderman wallet and held out a dollar, "You're the best waitress ever!" He said. Me and his parents laughed and I graciously declined the dollar. After they left I was cleaning up their table and I noticed that he'd drawn me on his paper placemat with a chocolate milk walking to his table with "best waitress" written under it. I showed it to the other girls and we all "awwwwed" at it and laughed. Even though I've been dying to leave this job it was nice to be reminded of one of the positive sides to it. It's certainly going to make it easier to come in for my shift tonight!

Getting rid of my baggage

I never realized how much my bad relationship was affecting my job until I was out of it. Many of my coworkers have come up to me to say how happy I seem now that I broke up with my ex, and I am! See, my ex-boyfriend was an alcoholic and I spent most of my time outside of work supporting him.

I had no idea it was so apparent to people at work, but now that I look back I can see that it was probably obvious. I'd come into work tired and stressed because I'd spent the whole night up trying to control him and nurse him when he was drunk, picking up bottles and things he'd broken late into the evening. Toward the end of my shift I'd start getting anxious because I wasn't sure what I'd be walking into when I got home.

Now that I'm single I know that the house is just as I left it and I'm not coming home to some unpredictable situation. It also made me realize something about my job: I really love it! Before, I felt miserable about work, miserable at home and everywhere in-between. Now that I've gotten rid of the thing that was making me miserable, I feel so much better about everything. Here's to getting rid of people and things that drag us down and really TRULY allowing ourselves to enjoy life! Life's too short for anything else. I know that now!

TIRED OF THE BS!!!!

I'm just looking for a simple front desk receptionist, Administrative Assistant, or Back Office Support position. Not a position where they micro manage, and you end up doing everyone's work, with no time for your own. Or, everyone is supposed to cross train, but you get stuck STILL doing everyone else's work, and are undermined every step of the way. Tired of traveling to North Bubble f..., just looking to work in Center City Philadelphia. I am great at everything I do and I'd like to be Paid for it!!

Signed,

TIRED OF THE BS!!!

Drama at #Dominospizza

The last time I had a unpleased customer they had received the items they ordered late and it was cold. When he called I apologized to him stating I will give him the order he paid for and voided the payment while on the phone. I told the upset customer I will remake his pizza and send it free also. He said " thank you, so much it's my daughters birthday I really appreciate it". When the customer told me that I immediately thought I should send a Marbled brownie fudge cake to cheer the family up. Once it was received 2 hours later he came to the store and told me his daughter said it was the best birthday ever when she received her marbled brownie and handed me $50 for a tip. He refused to take the money back so instead I reordered everything and paid for it so my inventory wouldn't be messed up and gave the rest to my driver

Not getting hired at all.

Been A Freelance Web Developer, Graphic Designer and Marketer since 2001. I'm not getting hired as Entry Level because I know too much and I'm not hired as a Senior Position Because of my lack of corporate experience. All the computer jobs are 70+ miles from where I live. I am applying for everything here!!!!!!! General Labor, Construction, Restaurant Jobs, Dog Walker, Postmates, Car Washer, Sales, Pretty much anything close to where I live to make ends meet. I advertise on all classified websites everyday and send hundreds of emails a day to prospective clients needing web services. I talk to recruiters every day with no end result. Feel like my life just stopped and the whole world keeps spinning. Can't remember the last time I was happy or stable. I'm not on Unemployment, SSI or Welfare. I really want to work. Whats going on? Seems like I know too much for some jobs and too little for others.

Hope everybody that wants a job gets a job!
