Ab I think I'm gonna print that out. My usual remedy is a tripple shot of
tequila, but sometimes even THAT doesn't work. ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

Well I can't solve your problems, but I may be able to help with the sleep
aspect of things: I don't know how readily you can get hold of fresh herbs
or oils etc., so I've given you a list of options to choose from. Choose
whatever is easiest for you, although it may not be the most effective
method. For a good night's sleep, and to relieve some of your anxiety while
you're at it, I recommend:
-A sprig of fresh Agrimony under your pillow (refresh it every night), if
that doesn't work you could try adding a sprig of Birch too, but its
supposed to be the very best thing for sleep
-Either wear as a necklace, place under your pillow or near your bed a
piece of Amethyst (try and cleanse it first).
-Chamomile is a simple solution, but not always as effective as others, I'd
try it first if I were you.
-If you can get hold of some White Chestnut wood you could try burning
that, either directly or in incense etc.
-Corydalis is pretty good with sleep, if you can get hold of some fresh
leaves you could mix them up in an incense with a couple of the other
ingredients I've mentioned, like Birch, White Chestnut etc.
-Hops are good, (no, don't go out and get sloshed) in a tea maybe, or a
dried sprig under your pillow,
-Lavender candles might work, they're pretty easy to get hold of too,
-Equal amounts of dried, crushed Linden and Lavender flowers placed in a
sachet and slipped inside your pillow is a good idea if you have the
time,
-Burning Rose petals can never be too far wrong, I'd try that if you can
get incense or something,
-If you can get some Valerian oil put a bit in a bath you have about 30
minutes before you go to bed,
-Vetivert is a great herb for sleep and rejuvenation, add it to any of the
mixtures I've suggested to give them a little bit extra,
-Theres a thing you can do to make a skull cap out of Violet petals, you
wear it when you go to bed, but I find it is a little to delicate, but you
can try it if you can work out how to make one,
-Wild Thyme under your pillow, not as good as Agrimony, but it might
work,
-If you're any good at mixing oils yourself go for a mixture of 2pt
Bergamot, 3pt Jasmine and 5pt Lavender, it doesn't really matter what you
use as the base,
-Mixing Clove, Mint and Rose in incense might be a good bet too.
I hope one of these remedies helps and that I haven't reached you too late.
Get well very soon, I hope.
Blessed Be.

I can tell you a assload of stories about rude/discusting/sexist/cruel
people that work in kitchens, but im sure you dont want to hear it. the
best thing i can tell you, is that you should get yourself out. if it
strikes you that your not happy to be there, chances are its just going to
get worse down the road. it did for me. And sister, it aint worth the
stress.
your better than that. ____________________ "Thou shalt not be afraid of the dark, nor of graveyards nor ghosts nor the

Kiddo, I would either find another restaurant or get out of it alltogether
if you really really don't like it. Try Red Robin, and tho they have to be
spunky, it's not brainwashed spunky and they don't give you pre programmed
greetings. Inbound customer service centers are almost always hiring, and
pay well during training, and really there is nobody to bug you but
customers as you're tied to a phone all day, and the larger the company the
more the management minds it's p's and q's.
As for dear old salty, I've worked with a few of those in restaurants (why
do they always seem to gravitate to cook work?), but I had the advantage of
being a cook as well, and in the kitchen the shit can really fly without
anyone being none the wiser. When the customers can't hear you it's easier
to be rude. I had this cross-eyed ADHD motorcycle riding ponytail hornball
on my nuts for MONTHS when I was a cook. He asked me out on a date (he
was 45 mind you) for the umpteenthzillionth time and made a pass (I was 17)
and I'll tell you one thing sister, nothing puts ice on a man's unwanted
hormones quicker than turning on him with bloody clothes and a bloody knife
and telling him that if he didn't get off your nuts you were gonna cut his
off, and you didn't have a problem doing that cuz you're 17 and your record
is wiped clean in 6 months anyway.
However, you're a waitress unfortunately, and don't have the privacy of the
kitchen. Every time he gives you shit, flip it right back twice as bad, or
get the other cooks on your side and they'll take care of it for you. It
would be supremely funny if every time he laughed that you burned your
fingers if you threw the damned tortilla at his face, but that'd probably
get you fired and we don't want that. Stick to your guns and let him have
it, he'll get the hint soon enough. ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

Either tonight or this weekend. I have to go grocery shopping for a ltitle
while and I was hoping to get to sleep early tonight. Let me know which
works best for you. ____________________ "People always say what we are looking for is a meaning for life…I don't

Sadly no. Also, I figure temp agency jobs will look better on a resume too.
A friend of mine suggested I find a temp agency with a branch over there
and over here. I saw that Randstad and Manpower have branches. I'll look
through my e-mail archives and see if I still have all of that info.
Oh, and I still need help with putting together a resume. I don't have
one.

I've given you info on a few temp agencies but I can give them to you
again. If you are limiting yourself only wanting to work for a temp agency
that has a branch in hawaii then your going to be stuck at Azteca. I'm sure
there are some temp agencies out there someplace but it is a temp agency.
They will most likely send you on temp assignments that are a week here or
a few days there. You won't need to "transfer". Working for temp agencies
isn't like working for a company with branches. Try not to limit yourself
when disperate to get out of a situation.
If you would like I can send you the temp agencies info again.
I'm so sorry you are going through this. I take it you never heard back
from lovers package? ____________________ Suicide Hotline - Please Hold |
