First hurdle

Hey there

I recently relapsed and came back on here to try and get back on track. So today I had a couple of incredibly important tests today. I passed them all.

But not after an incredibly difficult day at work.

The only way I can describe it is working with a high school clique, and I'm not part of that clique. Talking behind each others back galore, I swear I'm waiting for one of these 250 pound middle aged guys to break down to Taylor Swift just to complete the experience.

I don't do b*****ng, I'm 23 and already too old.

My job is great, my workmates are awful.

Instead of getting drunk and hating them I got two other job interviews, if I'm stuck in a hole I might as well build a ladder.

How's everybody's weekend been?

Ben x

Good for you. There is little worse than workplace gossip to cause negativity in your life that you take home with you. Stepping aside and loving the job is great. Good luck with your job interviews.

Thanks guys. I have a 4 hour shift today. My plan is to just be polite and communicate about work stuff, but that's it.

There's a guy called Sam there, at first I thought he was a little rude. Now I realise he just refuses to discuss anything other than work in order to avoid this nonsense.
