It's always hard being the new person at a workplace, you get given all the grotty jobs that no one else wants to do, and because you're new you don't have the skills your coworkers have. The trick is to treat everyday as a learning day and also look beyond your workplace, use the Internet to find information about your job read up about products and procedures that way you'll build up a solid base of knowledge that over time your managers and coworkers will come to recognise and appreciate. But do not flaunt your knowledge, that's the best way to annoy people! Just get on with things and apply your skills quietly.
Final tip: If you're offered any training courses, grab them with both hands especially if the company is offering them for free.
Oh wow! It's been a while since I was on the forum. But, I have certainly learned allat about interacting with others. First off, people judge others for being rude, then gossip about them?? I didn't think it was humanly possible to be that annoying! And so many people alienated me for acting like a boy, as if that matters. Anyways, the efforts of my hard-work, art, and self-care practices are finally coming together! It's like the strings have a been pulled, and now I can have friends! Yay!

I'm really impressed that you've managed to save up so much money for your trip, very well done, and excellent achievement.
It sounds like you've got a good itinerary planned out so all that needs to happen now is that you have a great trip and enjoy yourself, which I'm sure you will.
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate your kind words! I spent most of my summer and school year working and I'm so glad its paying off!! (@0w0@)/

That's really helpful! Working has been a challenge and I'm glad to learn more skills from it like this. I'm taking a child development course at school right now, so hopefully that will improve my skills. And even more so, trying my best to communicate with my coworkers. I tend to ignore and avoid people I don't like, so I could defintely work on pretending that I like them since working with kids requires a coordinated team. Maybe then I wouldn't be left out as much and feel more comfortable talking to them about work related things.

Being a White Collar isn't all it's cracked up to be. I wanted to be one, but maths and me are not good friends, so I ended up as a Blue Collar and over the course of my career I met lots of White Collars and most were stressed over deadlines and high workloads.
I've never even considered being a white collar because of my painful relationship with math too.
And being a blue collar kind of feels off the table as well because of my weak constitution. But even if I had a stronger body, I don't think I would enjoy working as a blue collar because of it being male dominated field. My appearance makes me seem very demure, so I really hate it when people, not just men, overlook my abilities because of it. So I have to ask, is the typical blue collar workplace really that sexist?
As of right now I work in childcare, which is fun because of the kids, but my coworkers are absolutely unbearable at times. Its my first job and I'm learning a lot of new skills though, and I may be blaming the uncomfortably of those frustrations on my coworkers. But still, even the men/boys who take care of children stare at my butt, belittle me, and leave me to do the menial tasks of cleaning. Even the girls my age who work there ignore me and make fun of me for my countenance. Sometimes I think about quitting, but then I remember that its probably worse at other places.

I certainly plan on updating it!
About your fantasy, I've heard a little from my Japanese friend who's studying to get into a good company, and she said that working in Japanese workplace can be very rewarding because of how great some can be at teamwork! Although there is black companies and also karoshi (death from overwork) problems in Japan. There are also many companies that are great to work in as well! Other than that, my least faborite part of working would be the commute... most communters are packed into the densha (trains) like sardines, plus the perverts who take pictures. But they usually target high school girls. So it might not be all warm and fuzzy, but there are also many ways it can be fulfilling as well!
