Lost job =(

[prettiestmess]

I need a bit of a hug right now. I've been working at the local bakery for the last seven months. It's not as if this is going to send me into financial turmoil, losing my job... I'm like, 16. It's just that it was a distraction, something I was doing as opposed to sitting around doing nothing.
The boss's big reason for sacking me was my surly demeanour around the place. Not with the customers, I never do that to customers... but she used the excuse that I wasn't happy to be there.
I'm not happy to be anywhere.
I was meant to be saving up my spending money to go to France at the end of the year. Three months, seriously, and I only have $500 or $600... definitely not enough to last me.
I'm not sure wht to do with myself now. I feel kind of stunned that it's happened, even though it doesn't seem like a big deal.

im not sure how it works in australia but here in the uk we are able to get jobseekers allowance while out of work and searching for a new job.

if you need the money i would say apply for any job you can.. even if it is mcdonalds (they always look for ppl)

is there any way you could speak to your previous employer and explain you like your job and want it back?

Well, the thing is, my parents are good for giving me the money to go to France. Very much so. They'll just be angry about it. I'm in no financial difficulty whatsoever .It's just a little complicated.
I'm going to try and look for another job, though.

Talking to a doctor... hmm. It's one of those things, crazy_rabbit_lady, that is definitely a good idea, but I cannot bring myself to do. I went through all that a few years ago, and now I'm back there and I don't want to bother my parents with it again. It may sound dumb but... yeah.

Thanks all x
I'm feeling a little beaten at the moment.

Have you thought about applying for jobs at other bakery's or even cafes/ shops. Now you have some experience it should be a bit easier and then you can get the money you want to go to France and it will give you something to do. If it is mainly because you want something to do then maybe see if you can work somewhere voluntarily doing something you enjoy. I'm currently doing some volunatry work when I can until I go back to uni and it is keeping me busy as well as keeping me up to speed on things I need to know for my course. If you do it in something you find enjoyable you can get a lot out of it and it looks great on your CV. But, if you need the money then it's not really the best option
