I have to always be understanding.
I always have to keep my mouth shut.
I have to be available to work all the time.
I am asked to work whenever it’s known that I am not working.
I can not be bothered by slights and people being annoyed at me for the way I speak, whistle, sensitivities, the way I count things. Everything about me is not seen as endearing or admirable. I get eyerolls left and right for almost everything I say and do.
When I am upset about the lack of caring I feel people who expect me to be nice all the time get rigid with me.
They can be irrationally upset about things I do by mistake but I can not be upset with what they do intentionally.
I don’t get back what I give no matter what anyone thinks they know is right. That is not true for everyone and to blame people for how they are treated is insulting.
Let someone else get help on my thread. I want someone to get help. I want it to be productive in some way.
I have to go into work again tonight on my day off and that is what I’m good for. No one is worried about overworking me. I wont turn them down because I want full time. It seems I am working full time but not having full time benefits.
I can not quit my other job because I am not guaranteed a certain amount of hours for my new job that I want. Plus I am a caregiver at my other job and I love the animals I care for.
I am simply not respected. I am the person who gets called in when the women with real lives do what they want and get all the praise and company.
When I am not working I am of no use to anyone.
I can’t tell you how that feels.
