?

I know I shouldn't care that much about what my co-workers think of me but i just started a new job and I was wondering if there was anything (writing them an email, bringing doughnuts, etc) that would introduce myself and that I am looking forward to working and knowing them? Am I just being too worrysome/needy and just wait to meet them one by one?

Thanks so much guys.

Hello,

I just got a new job at a bar/grill and it seems like almost everyone who works there is...not very similar to me? Everyone has tattoos and piercings (which is fine of course) and they wear very normal clothing to work (jeans, boots, hoodies etc etc). I want to wear nice professional clothes on the job and intend to work almost minute I am there. I am also feeling shy since this is my first food industry job and I am so new to how everything works. I am confident in myself and that I can do well but I would like to know what I can do to show my co-workers that I have the best intentions of working with them. Would sending an email to all of them introducing myself and what I look forward too be appropriate and let them know that I am someone they can like and respect?

Any thoughts would be great :) Thank you so much

Hey all of you food industry people out there!

I have never had a job before (paid work) and I am starting to train for a server position at a pub. I want to prepare as much as I can before I start training but I don't know where to start besides trying to become really familiar with the menu! Can anyone tell me what I should prepare for and/or what are the most important things I can do and remember as a beginning server?! I really want to work hard and be the best I can be!

I start training on Sunday!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH :D

I want to write a little thank you note for an interview i had this morning: What do I say? Is this any good??

Hello Brian,

Thank you for being able to talk with me this morning about a position at your business. I think a lot of items on your menu look very delicious and I will have to come by sometime and have a bite regardless if I get to work for you!

Best wishes,

MD

Any tips or advice please??? THANK YOU

Hello,

I have a 8 year old dauchaund/mini pincher mix and i have noticed he has been getting a odd skin problem around the base of his tail near the end of his back NOT near his butt/anus. He does NOT itch it often at all and I dont think its because of excessive itching OR fleas. (trust me its not fleas). The skin is kinda matted with the hair so the hair will come out if i try to get rid of scab like skin. The color is kinda brownish red (not bright red or pink) and Im wondering what can i do about it? Is it a rash? Food allergies? Can someone please help me? It no where else on his body

My dog thanks you.

Hello,

I am friends with someone who i think isn't a very nice person and I want to have more distance between us because of it. I will call this person Kevin. It is very hard for me to do because I hate hurting people and causing confrontation. Kevin invited me to a gathering with there parents but i declined because I honestly didn't want to go. I felt that I shouldn't go if i truly didn't think this person was a real friend, especially because family members would be there. Kevin asked me why and told me his feelings were hurt because i said no.

This person has good qualities, but here are some of the things that make me feel uncomfortable and stressed to be there friend:

-Kevin treated there most recent spouse with disrespect by breaking up with them while he was under the influence of alchohol and weed.

-He is very focused on sex and appearances of others (always bringing up how someone looks in a room and analyzing it; always talks about the cute girls he wants to get to know and maybe date, MULTIPLE ones at the same time. Kevin has also said that he would only date his ex back in HS if he really wanted sex.)

- Kevin has treated my boyfriend with disrespect (acting towards him like hes stupid even though hes just a silly guy) and he(my boyfriend) also feels he has felt disrespect from him.

- Kevin makes jokes at the expense of a friends roommate Jordan (She is annoying but also very nice) and these jokes are very aggressive and rude. (she will say something negative and rude and then say "Just kidding!" and then tell us later she wasn't at all)

- Kevin has also made jokes at my expense that make me feel that he is being aggressive and controlling. (for example if i dont do things his way then he will joke about it like I am wrong, bad and lame for doing it differently. Make me feel bad and insecure)

- Kevin does not treat our other friend Sally like this ever (so he does not treat everyone equally with the jokes and behavior) so i think it is about something personal for Kevin towards me, Jordan, my boyfriend and her ex.

I know no one is perfect. I am not perfect and I know this but...how do I tell him how I really feel and that I think we should have more space?

Do I owe him anything at all like a deep explanation?

Am I making the right choice? What if she tries to turn it all on me when I talk to him?

Please help me I want to make the best choices I can and treat him with politeness, respect, and dignity, even if I feel Kevin wont or hasn't done the same.

I need help understanding if this article is concerning a micro or macro economics issue. Im needing to adress a microeconomics issue and write a letter. I think it is but i wanted to make sure before starting my work. Thanks!

Hello,

I had my period in late January i believe. me and my boyfriend were messing around but his penis slipped out of his boxers and i think it might have touched my vagina. I couldnt really see.

He didn't *** or climax but i was scared of precum. At the time he said he didnt think it did touch me or that it was close enough.

I believe this incident happened in 2 and half to 3 and half weeks ago. I have no symptoms that would make me believe i am. I have not had an upset stomach, bad exhaustion, or tender breasts.My stomach has gained some weight from college food but its nothing new or different that it was before this incident i think i can safely say.

I was thinking of waiting till a few days in march to take a test if my period has not come by then. What do you all think? Im very scared.

Today I have noticed a darkish brown discharge. I am worried that this is spotting and not my period. What does this spotting mean?!

But Im not sure what to look for in a temple and if its the right one for me. What questions should I ask when looking for more information? Can anyone give me some tips or advice?

I want to name it SPEW (Students Protecting Environmental Welfare) because i think more people would be interested and want to join....what do YOU THINK? Yes I get the Harry Potter refrence thats why i thought it would be clever!

Because hes in the mountains in California near palm springs. Do You think this is a legitimate problem or is he LYING? Because right now my blood is boiling

Hello,

I know i might be over analyzing this but i just thought it wouldn't hurt to get some advice.

Im a fun loving and friendly person but i have trouble making friends and keeping them due to common inconveniences life can throw at a person. Im 19 now and ever since being bullied in middle school, i have these weird episodes of sadness. They used to be ALOT worse. I would have panic attacks and cry myself to sleep almost every night for two years. Over time though, i have gotten to be more self confident and more positive in my thinking. I just worry a lot though even now and it doesnt take much for me to get in a sad and tearful mood it seems like. I dont know if its just a habit ive grown over the years and its easy for me to be sad or if its something more.

Also I think i tend to get more sad during evening times. These sad episodes happen maybe a few times a month, sometimes more then once a week. The only person I talk to about stuff on a personal level is my boyfriend of four years.It seems like almost every month or more i am crying to him about something stressful im worrying about. Hes great and so kind to me but were kinda going through a rough patch as we are both in college and deciding on our future together. I've decided im going to go to counseling at my college next semester and take things slow and see the results of that.

Also...i dont really have an ambition to do new things that people my age do. Its not that i don't like doing them like listening to new music, going to see concerts, going to parties etc etc....its just that i don't ever feel a strong enough desire to pursue it. Even so, I feel that the number and involvement of interests i have are not as big or passionate as potential friends so i feel insecure when i cant connect to them as much as id like to.

I feel like im in a constant tug of war with myself. I feel like the real me is so awesome and really amazing but I just dont show it to people or they just dont see it...i just dont fight for it and i wish i did.

I dont know if its just a mental habit i have of not following through with goals, keeping everything inside and just living with the disappointment of not living life to the fullest or is it something more? I was diagnosed with ADD in seventh grade and went to a few psychiatrists through 7-9th grade if that makes a difference. Do I have a chemical imbalance? Any advice or insight would be helpful please.... :/

Ok it was just a little bit on a cotton swab after swabing my mouth but i think i swallowed whatever my spit had in it and i feel weird and drunk right now and my tummy aches. Its about a 3 in pain on a scale from 1 - 10. My head most of all feels light and numb but doesnt really hurt much. I called the poison control and they said i should just have a bad stomach ache at most but to call back if it got worse. DO I DRINK WATER TO FLUSH IT OUT OR NOT? Should i eat? I already went to the bathroom. Also this incident where i swabed my mouth was about 40 minutes ago. PLEASE HELP

I am sad because i am essentially alone on christmas and it makes me feel insecure and doubtful. My question is why are we supposed to give to others without asking for anything in return. I feel like recently i have been trying to give and give myself love, kindness, affection and attention on people who will just not return it. I feel like i am setting myself up with false hope and it makes me feel disappointed, even though being loving and selfess is about not asking or wishing anything in return. How can i free myself from this mindset? How is it even possible to not truly care if i get love and affection back if i have so little to begin with? If i want it and need it?! HOW? I know its selfish but i deserve to have people love me and treat me with sincerity and loyalty and honesty! I just want back what i put in! please someone help me!!!! I have no friends even though im so nice and loveable and beautiful and deserve the best.

It seems like many times when Im upset and i need my boyfriend he just isnt there for me...

Im crying right now and hes at a party...i just dont know. maybe i should just try not to feel disappointed?

Hello,

I am a very nice, fun , sweet and confident girl but i dont have any friends. Friends that I can talk to about my problems and inner self with security and comfort. I am dating someone right now but im afraid that because he is my only friend in this world that i can talk to about serious or personal matters that It is unhealthy....i feel like i have to be a stronger person for him and become better. We love each other very much but sometimes I feel like I should do more to make myself better for him and me. Right now i've been in my dorm room sad that I cant talk to him cause i lost my phone and he hasn't been on facebook. I get too hopeful and too disappointed when he cant be there for me and I just dont know what to do. I feel weak and need advice.

Hello,

Me and my boyfriend have been dating for four years. Our anniversary was just two days ago. Lately however I've been feeling detached in my emotions and feelings towards him and I dont know what to do about it. I feel like i still love him but im not sure if im in love with him anymore. We are both college students and I sometimes feel overwhelmed that we have been together so long and he has been my ONLY boyfriend ive ever had. we are each others first love. Im thinking of our future together and I just have doubts that I cant know if they are serious enough to worry over or not!

I have been playing with the idea in my mind that it would be wise for us to take a break and to focus on me now, gaining strong friendships and focusing on my career/education. If were meant to be together then we will know it when were apart wouldn't we? but this makes me feel really guilty and scared too. Also, my boyfriend is 21 and still acts so...immature sometimes that I have doubts about if i want his behavior and habits in a marriage or in the future. He says things that are very goofy that can be akward in public and around my friends, he is a very messy person, he isn't very healthy even though I try to help him (eating bad and not exercising ), he hardly plans for things so we get lost trying to go places,and I can't really talk to him about my feelings without him answering me in a jokeful way, trying to cheer me up, instead of talking to me directly and at my level. last night for example he was drinking beer and watching beavis and butthead and i just felt so unattracted to him. He is the sweetest guy in the world though and im pretty sure would do anything for me.

When I go to concerts and parties without him (with my girl friends) i see and talk to men that are older and seem more dignified, knowledgeable and mature and i find it very alluring and attractive. Sometimes I kinda wish my boyfriend would act like that, but i know he loves me and is very sweet and kind. My boyfriends roommate is like that too and I know it might be wrong but sometimes i daydream what it would be like to date him. I would never and have never cheated though.

I really want to try and make it work but I just feel so distant and numb almost. I think i've just lost my passion for him and id like to get it back. I dont want to hurt him or try to change him from who he is. I really do want to love every flaw but i just want to know if i could be with him in the future and marriage. Are things serious or just too routine between us? We were talking about going to couples counseling, would that be helpful?
