I was unemployed for five, almost six months because of my unemployment situation I've been applying almost everywhere, recently I applied at Burger King, Blockbuster and a Halloween store.
I just took a job today at Burger King, the day after I interviewed with Blockbuster. I told the manager who interviewed me that I would definitely give him a two week notice if I was going to quit, because I felt like that was only courteous.
The hiring process at Burger King is still incomplete, he will give me information about my schedule on Sunday. I'm a little worried about their reliability only because when I first went in to interview today, he wasn't there and one of the team leaders asked if I could come back at 3:00. He did apologize, telling me that the shifts had been screwed up.
My question is that when I interviewed at Blockbuster she told me that I had to run a background check but that I seemed friendly and outgoing. There's a lot more opportunities to make money, and to advance within the company and their parent company Dish Network, meaning that I could work at Blockbuster for a year or two (it's a commissioned job, depending on how well I do) and then transfer to Dish Network.
If I get a call from Blockbuster, is it okay to tell Burger King that I have a better offer? Would that look bad or unprofessional of me?
I have mainly office experience working with a temporary agency, and he had asked me if I got a call back from the offices if I would go back. I told him that I would be that I would give him a 2 weeks notice. I don't think that I need to give him my two weeks because I haven't even started
working there.

If I were you, I wouldn't give a two-weeks notice. What would be the point of having to learn the duties of the position only to quit two weeks later? You would get nothing out of that. Not even a reference.
Just tell Burger King that you received a better offer. That's all the explanation you have to give them.

Hi, so I'm a very active person, participating in yearly sports including cross country, triathlon, mountain biking, and the every so often hike or some other type of physical activity on my own. Last summer, my ex/bestfriend attempted suicide and I got depressed. As a result, I got a little out of shape.
I'm trying to work back up to my initial level of fitness. So far, my stamina seems to be setting back in; however, I cannot help but be a tad bit irked by my body's inability to reflect my fitness level.
I work hard daily, and yet I've not been able to see any chance in physical appearance. I'm still somewhat thick looking, and those extra few pounds don't seem to be falling off how I had hoped.
Is there anything that could be contributing to this lack of physical fitness being reflected in my physical appearance?
Also, something I'd like to add that may be a contributing factor; my daily regiment of food and nutrition intake is somewhat sporadic. I have severe GERD, and it causes me to not be able to eat as much as I should be. I try to get around 1000-1200 a day, but it's often times a struggle.
Thanks for any advice given.
Do you do any muscle building or toning exercises?
It seems like you do a lot of cardio, but cardio won't "shape" you. Cardio burns fat, but it's muscle building that will change your shape.
I'm 15f I can't stop crying. I don't feel like me I'm a sophomore and I feel like noone truly likes me. I've tried changing and I don't know who I am. I want people to like me but I just feel like I don't belong where I am. I feel selfish for crying and feeling like this crap. But I can't help it. It's sophomore year everyone is in there cliques and I feel like an outsider I lost most of my friends mainly because of separation of classes and they eventually found new people. I think I pushed away people.. I don't know. I just want change in my life I think that I need a boyfriend to make me happy but you guys allways say you don't but wouldn't a friend make me happy. I try to be myself but noone likes me I do have friends just not close ones that idk I feel alone. Please help I feel depressed and I cry everyday
I'm 20 now, but in high school, I went through the same thing. I usually was a drifter and the people I hung out with were more like aquaintances than friends.
Focus on you and the rest should fall into place. Work on your hobbies and do well in school. You will feel better about yourself when you achieve more success in those areas.
People will want to be around you when they see that you have confidence in yourself, so if you aren't confident, work towards changing that.
I'm feeling extremely miserable and empty, mainly due to the absence of someone in my life (they no longer go where I go), how to stop this and make myself feel better?
Some things in life are out of our control, such as people, their actions...stuff like that.
Something you CAN control is how you feel about yourself. There is no reason to feel empty if you truly love yourself.
I mean, it may get you down that you won't get to see this person very much, but try not to dwell on it. Letting a person complete you leads to sadness when they can't be there. Let YOU complete you.
You are going to be in your company for as long as you live, so it's important to find comfort in yourself.
It seems liek everyone is talking about cantaloupe deaths and illnesses right now and I don't know if I should freak out or not because what if I ate some cantaloupe yesterday? Am i going to get sick or die? do I need to go to the emergency room?
Is any cantaloupe safe to eat? If it is then how do you know which cantalopes are safe to eat?
thank you for helping me!
The cantaloupes were from Jensen Farms in Colorado. (There should be a sticker on the fruit that will tell you that) All other brands are safe to eat.
"Listeria generally only sickens the elderly, pregnant women and others with compromised immune systems. The CDC said the median age of those sickened is 78 and that 1 in 5 who contract the disease can die from it. Symptoms include fever and muscle aches, often with other gastrointestinal symptoms."
Assuming you're young and have a good immune system, I wouldn't worry.
I would like to know the best way to kill yourself.i have been out of work for 5 months I have lost my job,pawned every puece of jewelry I own,pawned my lap top,wrote check loans,title loans,about to loose both my vehicles by the end of the month im ready to die.
The things you lost can be replaced. You are not your possessions. Now is the perfect opportunity to see who you are beneath the stuff you own.
My best friend is a Lesbian and is trying to "get it on" with me what should i do
Tell her flat-out you're not interested. If you're not interested, that needs to be respected. Don't be afraid to be straight-forward just because she's a girl.
We fight every single day! It's so annoying and I'm getting tired of it! He's 8 years old and I'm 12 years old. My mom is always mad at us and I just want a happy family again.
I'm guessing that because he's the younger sibling, you find him annoying.
Try to involve him in what you're doing without telling him to "go away" or "leave you alone".
I'm the youngest child myself and to this day still bug my brothers, but it's only because I want to be around them.
I'm sure your brother looks up to you and just wants to spend time with you.
Hey i'm 20/f and i'm 5'7 and weigh about 180 pounds. I'm wanting to lose like 30 pounds within the next couple months. I do eat healthy and exercise regularly but i feel like the weight just isnt coming off. I know some diet pills are bad and such i dont want a lecture please. I'm looking for a diet pill that will work and actually work, i know theres no over night cure but anything would help please!
Eating healthy and exercise doesn't necessarily mean you'll lose weight.
You have to, without exception, eat less calories than you are burning. Try eating 500 calories less than your maintenance and you will lose a pound a week.
I'm sorry if that doesn't seem like fast enough progress, but it's the safest way. You didn't gain the weight overnight nor will you lose it overnight. Be smart and lose weight the healthy way. Forget about the diet pills.
What does it mean when your itching an burning when you pee and white stuff is all around your vigina?
If it's burning, it could be a UTI.
Or maybe it's a yeast infection if there is white discharge all around. It's best if you go to a gynecologist now instead of relying on us to diagnose you. Whatever it is, it needs to be treated.
I made my friend cry because I was teasing her and I was making fun of her favorite band. She's really upset with me and she's crying and I keep telling her I'm sorry but she won't forgive me. What can I do to make her feel better ?
My guess is that the fight wasn't really about the band. Maybe she was having a really bad day and being made fun of was her breaking point.
My suggestion is you ask her if something you don't know about upset her and ask if she's ready to talk about it now or if she needs time.
Hi Im Gracie and I'm 13! Remember me? No? That's okay. LOL :)
Anyway, I have a question about, like guys and dating and stuff. Kinda, 2 questions actually.
Well, Im 13 and he's 16.
Okay so my first question is, is it weird to date someone with the same name as your brother? His name is Matt and my brothes name is Matt. It's kinda awkward and my friends say some stuff like its gross and stuff and it's kinda embarrassing. What do you think?
My second question is, Do you think its wrong for us to date each other because he's older? I really, really like him and he says that he likes me too but he doesnt want his friends to know we're dating because they're gonna say stupid stuff about it because he's older and everything. I mean, I don't see the bid deal and it kinda hurts my feelings a little. He wants to keep it a secret that we're dating. It kinda makes me feel like he's ashamed of me or something. Maybe Im just being over sensitive?
But I like him alot, maybe even love him a little and I dont want to keep us a secret. I told my bestfriend Natalie that we were dating now and Matt (My boyfriend not my brother) found out and he got really mad and he hit me. I get why he was mad. He's popular, and has lots of friends and tons of girls that wish they could be his girlfriend and he gets mad when his frinds say stuff about him hanging out with me. It makes him upset. Its just that I've like him for a long time and I've alwaysed wish he would like me back and date me. I dont want to hide it from everybody. What if other girls start flirting with him because they dont know he's dating me?
Am I being stupid?
(FYI- We're in the same grade. I skipped a few grades. Im the youngest kid at my high school. Im a sophomore.)
Hey :) My brother's name is Matt, also! Well, there's nothing wrong with dating someone who has the same name as your brother. It's just a name, nothing more.
I do think that dating a 16 year old while being 13 is too big of an age difference. 3 years may not seem like much, but when you are young, it is.
If he can't tell his friends he's in a relationship with you and wants to keep it a secret, I would take it as a sign of immaturity...
And did he really hit you? Hell no. Don't ever take that kind of treatment!
I'm bisexual and would like to tell people. Not everyone, because I don't see why I would need to. Just my immediate family and a couple of close friends. After that it's just something I'll mention if necessary.
The thing is, I'm not sure how to do it. The people I want to tell won't have a problem with it, but most of them I never talk to about anything personal and so it will seem really strange. My dad and little brother, for example - I never talk to them about serious things, they only ever know these things because my mum will mention them to them. But it feels like a bit of a cop out to just tell my mum and count on her to tell everyone else.
Do you think I should tell people individually or together? Should I wait until we're all eating dinner and tell them all, or bring it up to each of them in individual conversations?
I just really don't know how to go about it.
I think it'd be really weird to bring up. Would you randomly tell them about your other likes/dislikes...? Such as "Hey mom, I've decided that brussel sprouts are amazing! I hope you'll understand..."
I'm not saying to hide it, but until you have a girlfriend/boyfriend of the same sex, why bring it up?
I want to lose 20 pounds but every time I try I cheat on my diet. This summer I kept cheating and telling myself that Id just start my diet over the next day, but when the next day came I always ruined my diet. People around me are always eating junk and when I see it I have to have it and I over eat. How can I stop craving junk food?
Maybe you're not eating enough. You should eat at least 1500 calories if you're under 21. Even more if you exercise.
how do i delete my facebook completely, not deactivate it, i just dont want a facebook at all? thank you :)
I just deleted mine last week. I followed the instructions on this site:http://www.wikihow.com/Permanently-Delete-a-Facebook-Account
lately i havent been eating as much because i want to stay skinny and maybe lose a bit more weight and be more skinny. last time i checked i am about 43 kilos. are there any easy diets that anyone knows about? im half vegetarian and hate vegetables :)
Sorry if this offends you, but I think you only want to be a vegetarian to cover up for an eating disorder.
Being skinny will be a lot easy if you actually eat. Otherwise, starving yourself will lead to a binge and it will be a very messy cycle.
Are there any painless ways to commit suicide? I have given up on life and pretty much want it to end since nothing seems to go right anymore. If you want some back story then I will be breif. I am 22 and have attempted suicide two times and they were obviously failed attempts. The first time I shot myself in the chest and survived, the second was overdosing but again failed. I have tried changing my life around but to no success. I have no parents to turn to and I have no siblings. My friendlist is zero and well...I think this can only be fate I suppose. Can anyone recommend a simple method?
Everyone has trouble in their life. Anyone who doesn't isn't living. It's human nature to get down about life, but it's part of our purpose to figure out what needs to change. What do you have to do to make your life better? Give yourself a chance to make a change. You know what, I have no friends either. That says nothing about my value as a person. Taking your life would be a tragedy. You are here for a reason!
I'm 18 and I'd like to learn something new, I really love all sorts of music and I'd love to be able to play the guitar. If I were to print out the tabs and music reading guide is it possible to teach myself? Any tips welcomed.
Yes! I taught myself :)
I wasted so much money having teachers teach me when I could have been teaching myself all along.
I suggest you learn these chords: G,D,Em,Cadd9,Am,A
You will be able to play so many songs with just those chords.
Also, buy a capo. It changes the key of the song.
I really need someone to talk to and need advice. I've been in college for about a week and I'm not enjoying it. Today was a really bad day for me. School doesn't actually start until the first week in september, but I moved in early because of fall sports. We are in preseason right now and its taking up the majority of my time. My roommate is one of my friends. I've known her for 5 years and we play on the same fall sport, so we pretty much see each other every minute. We get along okay... We don't hate each other but there are some things I don't like about her. She is boy-obsessed- meaning she already has a boyfriend but is already flirting with the football team and getting guys numbers and possibly hooking up with them later. She doesn't really respect me because one night it was 3am and she couldn't sleep so she turned the lights on, watched tv, and skyped with a friend.. while i was trying to sleep. We still get along but I kinda wish I had a different roommate. But I admit its nice to know someone in my college.
There are just so many things going on right now that make me feel bad.. my boyfriend won't return any of my calls. He was supposed to pick me up and go to the mall today (since it was my only day off from practice) and he was 2 hours late and didn't bother to call and tell me that. I had to wait for him. Another thing is that I just feel so lonely. My fall team isn't too close with me. There are some cliques/groups starting to form on the team and I really don't like that. Nobody on the team really matches my personality. Most people on the team are party freaks. They drink and stay out late and hook up with guys. Its not my personality at all and i really don't want to be around them outside of the sport. But it makes me upset that I'm not really good friends with any of them. I really don't know what to do.
I've considered looking into a therapist because I honestly feel like I have nobody to talk to about my feelings. I tend to keep my feelings bottled up. I can't talk to my parents about it because they live in a different country (europe) and its long distance which is expensive to call. I don't have a car so I can't leave. I just really wish I had someone close to talk to. Oh and I can't really talk to my boyfriend about these issues because he says i'm weak sometimes and he says I need to toughen up. I'm scared to talk to him about stuff like this because I don't want him to think i'm a little baby. I just really don't know what to do. I'm not enjoying myself. I'm homesick, lonely, and just exhausted. What do I do??
Also, i'm not very outgoing so its kind of hard for me to make friends. I also have trouble finding the right friends.
thank you.
Wow! You pretty much just described me! I know how hard it is to be around people that lack morals. (Drinking, partying...) I'm not religious myself, but if you are, try to meet some people at church (or another place of worship). I'm not saying every person that goes to church is a quality person, but it's worth a try. Also, try volunteering with little kids at the YMCA. You'll probably meet some nice people doing the same thing you're doing. Good luck!
hi! female, 18. soo i need serious help. i have had a serious issue with food for about the last 5 months. it started when i became very self conscious about my body and i went on a very calorie restricted diet and lost about 30 pounds then i gained it all back. i am very embarrassed to talk to anyone about it. i binge eat a lot and when im done i feel awful and guilty and ashamed. i have been able to maintain my weight by working out and starving myself after a binge. i know this is very unhealthy but i have no idea what to do. food is seriously controlling my life and im scared its going to get worse when i got to college and it will affect my sports. pleasee help :(
The only way to stop this cycle of binging/starving is to let yourself binge. If you're going to binge, then binge...but don't try to reverse things by starving. Depriving yourself of calories for any period of time will just trigger another binge. Also, after a binge, don't exercise. Eventually, you'll want to stop binging because you won't be able to justify your behavior by starving or working out after.
I know this all sounds backwards, but it is what has worked for me.
