I can only get paid vacations if I am fulltime. I
work for a grocery store with a pharmacy.
And I have no intentions to become one. They already work
me and my boyfriend too much. We're both part timers but
we both work 32-40+ hours a week. I got 24H this week for the
first time in over a month. I am going to relax this week.
But yeah. Call outs are the worst around the holidays.

@Ava:

You should get out a recipe she loves
and you loved doing with her and ask her
to bake it with you! I went through the same
thing with my mom. We had to move because of my younger
brother needing surgery after he was born and my mom went
through PTSD and anxiety in fear of him not making it. But
my dad, sister, brother, and I got together and asked her to
bake with us, and it really helped her. She still needed medicine
to help her cope, but she felt better and was able to smile
and laugh that day.

@Count Trashula:

Oh, it is actually quite easy! It might take a month or so to get
the gist of how to work in a bakery, but it'll be worth it because once you get
the easy stuff down, you can go to learning the 'How to' with baking and
decorating! It took me nearly 2 years to get to where I am because of
nerves. I wasn't confident in myself that I would do a good job. But
now that I am working on the decorator side, my confidence is becoming
stronger and stronger!! I made my first Chantilly Cake and my manager was
very proud of my work. Now I do the Chantillies at work! I will be learning
how to do the Ganache next!
You can't let your nerves control your actions. Take the step and try it out!
If it ends up not being for you, there are plenty of other jobs out there
that are just right for you!
Working in a grocery store bakery is a pretty good start. But I believe
self owned bakeries might be easier since their guide lines and rules
are more flowing than a grocery store. With grocery stores, everything has
to weigh a specific amount. So being creative isn't always easy.

@Ouja Akuma:

Well geez.... There's something wrong with your manager.
If your manager doesn't take his/her position the
way they are meant to, then management isn't where
they need to be!! I'm sorry you have o deal with all that bs.
And it's okay to rant about your day! This topic is basically
a ranting topic. I have many days I just need to rant. So if
you ever just need or want to rant about work, come on
by and blow this topic up! xD lol >,-> Don't really blow it up
though. I don't feel like making another one.
Do you have any other job interests? Maybe you should look
into other places that are looking to hire someone. A job
that you will feel mentally better at. Working somewhere where
your constantly getting mentally abused or hurt is too toxic for
anyone. So try to get out of that nasty toxic place as soon as you can.

@Jolly:

You were working at a Wal-Mart bakery. That is why it sucked xD
My mom worked at one in the mid northern states and she said it was
a living hell. And that was just her in a bakery... At night. during the dead hours.
She was also 7 months pregnant. But it helped her realize her passion for
making cakes was something she could do from home. And thus her freelancing
bakery job started! She's been baking ever since and even added sewing, embroidering,
vynal to her business. She is no longer a freelance baker, but a freelance business owner.
She works from home making whatever she is asked to make along as it follows
her simple rules. Like nothing inappropriate and such like things.
So just because the temp job at your Wal-Mart bakery didn't turn out as you hoped
or wanted, there are plenty of stores that have better bakeries. I work at a Publix bakery.
It's an Eastern US grocery store. And even though in particularly, my Publix I work at has
pore managers, it is still quite fun to work there. I enjoy doing what I do.
