I'm in kind of a shitty situation at work here

1 / 2

tl;dr

>I am the only employee besides the manager
>there is no air conditioning in summer / no heat in winter
>I work all day by myself on Saturday (manager doesn't come in at all. We're open 10+ hours saturday)
>I work more hours than the manager a week but obviously get paid less
>I work between 35-40 hours a week for "part-time"
>I need time off to get shit done but i cant get any time off

Originally I worked 3 days during the week + saturday, which was fine. I was going to school and studying. The other guy that was working here left, and the manager asked me if I could work everyday.

It's been almost a year and he has not hired a new person. I've told the manager time and time again to hire someone else but he has not done this.

I know it is not my decision, but when I'm alone in a store and get 10 customers waiting for me to help them, it gets fucking nuts. There is literally a line out the door. Sometimes it takes up to 30 minutes for me to help just one customer, and another 9 are still waiting for something - plus it's not always the same thing. I work in a third party pack / ship/ print shop, so could you imagine one person wants me to pack something worth $1000 while someone else wants to print 1000 posters or something and needs it done in an hour? Impossible - but happens every week!

I've only gotten one day off within 2 years - I had to ask 6 months in advance for it. The manager went away TWICE - January and February, leaving me by myself for 4 weeks total in the store. Opening and closing. Counting the money. etc.

I ask for a day off? "I need to see."

The guy takes off once a week and doesn't even show up on Saturdays. I could not go to work at all on Saturday and he wouldn't know about it since our security cameras dont even fucking work.

How do I tell my sister and husband I want to move out early before the lease is up? I can easily afford my own place and I know they can afford the remainder of the rent I paid. It just doesn't feel like home and I've felt like an unwanted guest since I moved in..plus my room is soo tiny and my stuff doesn't fit. They also have kids and while I love them the house is always a mess. Plus they hangout with one of my exes who left me for another dude I'm still not over it and they go out their way to invite her out but not mee, which I am pretty butthurt about. What do I tell them without leaving on bad terms??

So I've been in a committed incestuous relationship with my first cousin for 3 years now. We're both 23. She says she wants to get married with me, and want me to ask her parents..

I've never actually thought about getting married and having kids with her until she proposed it.

How do I go about doing this and making it work?

Please spare me the religious moral stuff and myths about how cousins have retard kids

When and how do I monetize my art?

I've decided to catch up with my art friends and start taking art commissions. But the thing is, I'm pretty insignificant and not well known.

How would I go about gaining a following big enough to open commissions.

Also, If this also helps, I cant churn out art as quick as i want because i dont have a cintiq. Any artwork i do has to be drawn on paper and vectored in Adobe Illustrator.

've never really done anything with myself other than work >home >internet so obviously no one likes me. I'm ugly poor on top of being boring and unhappy so obviously the only girls that ever liked me were huge and I shit all over them because much standards.

But life's gone by and I'm 24 and tired of being alone. Tbh you girls are probably so disgusted with all these virgin guys.

Point is, I'm years away from being good enough for a hot girl, I'll have to spend at least a year at the gym and learn to be funny and interesting and dress better and socialize and learn charisma and all this shit girls expect when I'm such a pussy I start stuttering and blushing if I have a female waitress at a restaurant. It's that bad.

But I'm fucking 24. Do I spend the end of my youth in cocoon mode just so I can pull an average basic girl when I'm almost 30 and still have zero dating/sexual experience or just give up and settle for someone I don't like because something is better than nothing

So recently my gf of 3 years stopped taking the pill for 10 days. She didn't tell me until the 2nd time we had sex last weekend. I hardly ever cum inside her, but she was on top and I never came while she was riding me. So she took the plan b pill the next day.

When she told me I was obviously upset, scared and overall just flabbergasted. We have had many many conversation about pregnancy, where we are at in our lives and what our next steps are. We often discuss how it's odd that people have accidents, and how it shouldn't happen in a relationship if both people are responsible. Well now I can totally see how "accidents" happen.

I get forgetting to do something happens. But forgetting to take a pill for 10 days? Her pills don't have OFF days. They have placebo days. so everyday she is popping something. Sometimes she doesn't take the placebo ones cause she doesn't see the point.

anyways. someone please explain or enlighten me on women. How the fuck does this happen? How does she not tell me?

When I asked her she said "I didn't want you to be mad at me". I've seen this pattern of thinking before where it's HER EMOTIONS > everything.

wtf. please inb4 faggot. trolling. bullshit. throw me a freaking bone.

My dad was sick and I traveled 8000 miles away from home/work to watch him die. Now I'm with family. I wanted to leave after 8 days but they scheduled the funeral for 13 days from today.

Is it appropriate to skip a funeral? I can honestly do without all the theatrics. I want to return to my own home, fiancé and work.

what are some things i can do, that i can learn quickly, that won't make me seem like a loser?

>literally all i do when i come home from work is browse 4chan and exercise sometimes
>no friends
>coworkers don't do anything either except gym and do something with friends/gf (go to restaurant/bar, watch movie, have friends over or go to a friends place for a get together, etc.)

since i have no friends, was thinking of telling people i do something productive in my spare time. but everything i can think of requires time and i likely won't be good at it (like learning a language or instrument).. what should i try to do to seem productive? would rather learn a skill than do something like read a book tbqh

Hi /adv/,

I need help with my sexual impulses.

I'll start at the beginning: I discovered masturbation at a very early age (maybe 9 or 10 years old?) and did it frequently. There was a point where I would do it four to six times a day. This carried on until high school when I eventually cut back to maybe once or twice a day, sometimes going a day or two without it. With this came the need for porn to achieve a better climax every time.

The whole situation is almost like using gateway drugs. I started with "normal" porn, then I needed weirder and weirder stuff to have equivalent experiences.

I am now in college and drift in and out of the habit, but I'm on the down slope right now...
It's to the point where I'm worried that my impulses will lead me to looking at something illegal. It's one of my greatest fears. I have accidentally stumbled upon POTENTIALLY illegal images (no source or information so I had no way of confirming legality) that satiated my need for erotic material. It scared me because I wasn't appalled. I've become so desensitized. For the record, I do not deliberately search for illegal porn and did not explore further after the aforementioned instance.

I can't keep living like this. I'm always paranoid about getting an email or a phone call that I'm being investigated for viewing illegal images. It's a problem I don't want to have. It has affected my view of certain people and has driven me to act upon my impulses in ways I do not wish to disclose. I never hurt anyone and hopefully never will, but I'm not happy with my current trajectory.

Any advice would be appreciated.

One of my biggest fears is my parents' death.

My parents are a little more than 30 years older than me (I'm in my 20s, they're looking on 60).

I dread the day's going by late at night and I even cry to myself knowing that the day will inevitably come where I will get the phone call that my mom/dad passed away in the hospital or had a heart attack. It's a borderline crippling sadness and I don't know what to do about it.

I've been feeling this since my teens. I'd have a birthday, get my drivers license, get my braces off, all the "teen" things that were cool... And is just look at my mom and dad and just see wrinkles appearing, grey hairs showing, and it just makes me sad. And I can see it in their eyes that they yearn for the days of their youth, and it makes me feel even more sad.

Is this normal? Do other people feel this?
