Bleh I just feel absolutely awful. I'm tired, and I have to go back to work tomorow and work for another who knows how many days in the blazing sun in the field, where I don't know anyone at all. This job is so physically demanding that about 11 people have quit so far, and I'm seriously debating being the 12th. My parents guilted me into this great field job because I guess I do need some of the money to pay for phone bills, but I've already made more than enough to pay them off, and they still won't let me quit because my boss is kind of sort of a family friend, and my mom refuses to let me out of my "commitment" before it's done. I know this job doesn't last a long time at all, but the hours are awful, like 7 hours a day in the extreme heat, we don't get weekends off, and they tell you the day before whether or not you have to come to work tomorow.
I had my first day off in almost 2 weeks straight of working today, and I went to the movies with a friend, and it was great don't get me wrong, but it just made me realize what I was missing. My social life was never great, but I always had a bunch of friends I could talk to, and hang out with. Now my social life is completely non-existent. I mean my only communication has been maybe 5 text messages this entire time I've been working. My days with this job are get up, go to work, come home get everything ready for work tomorow, watch half an hour of tv, eat dinner, go to bed then repeat. That's literally all the energy I have after working, and it's just awful especially since we aren't guaranteed any days off at all, and even when we do get one it can be cancelled with 10 hour notice. I'm so sick of this job literally the only thing that has been keeping me from quitting is that my family will never let it go if I do, they'll compare me to my brother, and if there's one thing I can't stand it's being known as weak.
I made one friend there, and he's been making it easier to go but yesterday he just seemed really mad and wouldn't talk to me at all. I kinda got him demoted because he was doing a bad job because he was really focused on talking to me but I don't get why he's so mad, he's still getting paid the exact same thing, and it really wasn't that big of a demotion at all. It's basically less work for the same pay and I have no idea why he was so upset after that.
