She’ll find some guy at work. Stupid autocorrect.
Good God! I wonder how she would have fared being a divorced mother with two sons to raise, going to college at night full-time, while working full-time during the day. That’s what I did in order to get my degrees. And the salaries back then were $hit. I wasn’t even making $6,000 a year working for the county.
Bimbos like this are the reason my 4 boys have thrived in the workplace. They all have a great work ethic and put in all of the time that is needed.

“True that. And before I finished high school I spoke with people already working in the field I wanted to go into (software programming) and asked them what kind of training was really good and worth spending time and money on. Every advisor at every college I talked to told me their college was the best -— I realized they couldn’t all be right.”
I went to a two year technical school for “Business Data Processing” (programming). The classes were taught by guys that were already in the field so you got the real stuff. Started out as an Assembler programmer for a bank. If I’d been a crook I’d be living on an island now. If I had to do it over I’d have taken engineering. :)
“But for those who didn’t bother to watch it…the woman isn’t complaining about her job. She is complaining about her commute and how it leaves her with little time.”
I read the article in the daily mail.
basically she said she applied for 100s of jobs and this is the one that hired her. She moved in order to work, but could not afford rent on any place closer to her job.
now she has a 2 hour commute each way and it sucks.
I can totally understand her frustration. I have had 1.5 hour commutes in rush hour and it really sucks
I confess I have not seen this girl’s video, but that never stopped any of us from commenting.
First real career position can be a shock even for non-snowflakes.
Every brand new graduate nurse will cry at work, on the way home, in the shower at home many times during the first year. The reality and responsibility overwhelm all the training, education, and idealism. It takes about a year experience to get in the groove and habits to become really comfortable.
I would tell new grads it is normal and expected to cry in the supply room or driving on the way home. Just don’t stop at Walmart to apply for the greeter job.
It gets easier, you get stronger.
Welcome to LIFE sweetie. Now sit down, shut up and get to work like the rest of us.
We were interviewing a new graduate chemical engineer and I was the first on the interview schedule. During the interview her every other word was “like”.
Toward the end of the interview, I told her that she might try and drop the “like” thing as it will hurt her in the following interviews. She did and we hired her.
I remember my first 9 to 5 job.
After working 7 to 7 jobs in construction and in the oil patch I couldn’t believe someone paid me to sit on my butt in an air-conditioned office for only 7 hours a day (8 hours with one hour off for lunch) and considered it a full-time job.
Welcome to the real world sweetcheeks.
Like oh my GAWD its like like like SO unfair you don’t have time for like friends and like Starbucks and its dark when I get home and like like like oh my GAWD you get off at 5 but you’re not home at 5 and like like like om my GAWWWWD!!
My thoughts exactly!
She should just stop whining and start working!
Parents need to make their kids work starting as soon as legal. Part time work as teens will give them a clue about human nature and how things work in the real world. I have a friend whose son started working as soon as he was able, and a daughter who was a princess. The son has done very well for himself. The daughter was married and divorced twice before age 30. She’s on #3 now and that seems to working so far.
Six 6' tall racks full of equipment mostly obscured by a mass of twisted gray spaghetti. That was the front. The back was no better, maybe even worse as I discovered 4 24 port HP Procurve switches mounted upside down with their own cable messes.
It took me several weeks to thoroughly map that mess which included documenting function and traffic flow, during the course of which I discovered not one, not two, but FIVE network loops. Their network (flat, with no VLANing), which included IP phones was having the equivalent of a heart attack every 60 seconds or so. Monkeys could have done a better job of putting all that together. This is what you get when a protected employee is allowed to put things together and "manage" it all. Oh, and no documentation.
So I ordered a couple thousand dollars worth of color coded ethernet cables in standard lengths and a kit for making my own custom lengths. Picked a 3 day weekend and with the help of my counterpart from the West Side, stripped out every cable save for the incoming fiber and methodically reconnected everything which included moving those upside-down HP switches to the front of the racks. Installed proper cable management hardware, as they had next to none and they weren'tusing it anyway. Visio diagrammed everything and connected that to a simple Access db. Made the protected guy and his mini-me flying monkey assistant look bad, but that's another sordid tale.
Me too, but for a different reason. I'm one of those who was programming a Commodore-64 at the age of 14 (I just showed my age) and decided to make my hobby into a career. But only because I didn't have the calling to go into the ministry (my 1st option, but I didn't want to bastardize the ministry by going into it without a calling). My 2nd option was to go into the military, but a supposedly incurable disease I had at the time (thank you, Jesus! I'll never forget the day my doctor said, "I think we're looking at a miracle of God") prevented me from going into the military. So I went for my 3rd option which was software. I wish one of the military recruiters at the 3 services I talked to told me I could serve the military by working for 3rd party contractors 200 miles north from my home in Huntsville, AL doing rocket engineering. Back then us Alabamians didn't talk about our good things going on in our state, so I didn't know that was an option. I assumed incorrectly that Reagan's missile defense was done by military personnel, which wouldn't be me.

Honey — if you were where Nature meant you to be — ie. barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen fixin’ Daddy a sammich — you wouldn’t be so unhappy.
I haven’t watched it.
Are we sure it’s legit and not just another attention whore needing clicks?
A few days of USN duty as a “deck ape” might correct his attitude. Reville at 0530, 0545 out on deck to sweep, scrub and swab. 0600, reville for the rest of the crew. 0630, breakfast. 0715, quarters for muster, plan of the day and sick call (“All weak, lame and lazy report to sick bay”). 0800, “Turn to, commence ship’s work”. Scraping, sanding, prepping and painting, sometimes over the side in a Bosun’s chair or on a suspended stage for hull maintenance; in a Bosun’s chair hoisted aloft to slush down (lubricate and preserve) standing rigging, or working on bulkheads, ladders and hatches. Polishing brass and other brightwork. Cleaning the bilges of the Captain’s Gig, the officers’ motor boat and the 50 foot utility boat.
1120, early chow for the oncoming watch. 1200, mess call. 1300, Turn to. Continue ship’s work. Holystone wood decks with sand, wash and swab. Working party to strike stores delivery below. Frap/unfrap mooring lines and install/remove ratguards. Sweepers to the pier. 1600, “Sweepers man your pbrooms. Sweep down all decks, ladders and passageways. Empty all s**tcans in the dumpster on the pier.” 1600, Liberty call…but that’s only if you’re not in the duty section. 1630, early supper for watch relief for 1600-2000 watch.
Typical watches in port: messenger of the watch, deck security watch. 0000-0400 (midwatch) , 0400-0800 morning watch, 0800-1200 forenoon watch…etc.
And we haven’t even got to sea yet!
