What To Do When You Dislike Your Coworkers

One of the worst things ever is disliking your coworkers or having to work with coworkers who dislike you. Its something that happens to everyone, as we don't necessarily always get along with everyone we meet, but it just seems to be so much worse in a work situation. Why? I guess because, lets be honest here, especially when we're working a part time/minimum wage/transition job while working towards our dream career, we're not exactly working a job we really love. We probably don't exactly shiver with excitement every time we're on our way to work. What makes an unenjoyable job just a little better is having coworkers you get along with and can have some laughs with, to get you through the shift.

But what happens if you don't like each other? I've been in this situation time and time again. You're working with some people and you just don't quite get along. Whether its you or them, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you now have to work through this shift with this person.

My advice is not to let it bother you. Bottom line is, this is a job, not your whole life. I completely understand that having a good relationship with you coworkers will increase your job satisfaction but at the end of the day, you're there to do your job, make some money and get out. I don't take it personally. I understand that there are some people in life that I won't get along with no matter how hard I try and I try not to let that get to me. In the end, I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to do my job. Of course, I do think this way since I'm currently just working a part time job while I'm in school. I'm sure I might see things differently if I were working in my career of choice. If I could give you any advice to take away from this, is just not to take it personally. Not everyone will love you, and thats okay. As long as you're not deliberately being mean to anyone and you're doing whats expected of you at work, then your job is done. Don't lose sleep over a few people who you dislike or dislike you. Keep to yourself, stay out of drama and don't cause any drama and you'll be just fine.

Are any of you in this kind of situation? What do you do if you dislike your coworkers? Let me know xo

The BEST and EASIEST Waffle Recipe! (Blogmas Day 9)

1 Year of Covid-19: A reflection

It feels like just yesterday we were all feeling the anxiety and uncertainty of a new disease that was spreading quickly around the world that no one truly understood yet. We were facing the first wave of cases, the fear of going outside and being around people and the first round of quarantines and restrictions. It feels like just yesterday, but also so long ago. I, and I am sure many others, am feeling a mix of emotions. Sad for the loss of comfort we once had. Grief for all the lives lost and permanently changed. Thankful for my health and that of my family. Gratitude for the scientists and frontline workers alike, working tirelessly behind the scenes I hope that one day we can return to a new normal. I hope that one day I'll be able to go to work and not feel afraid to get too close to my coworkers and patients. I hope that no one will ever again have to face the end of their lives all alone. I hope that no one has their life cut short because of...

Review: Lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout Shampoo

Hello there! So I've been on the hunt for a shampoo to tame my wild hair for ages, so I picked up this during my recent Lush visit in hopes that it would help with my thick, coarse, dry hair. According to Lush , this has: Stout to calm: For all hair types but especially beneficial for fluffy, hard-to-manage hair. Friend to all scalps: Yeast improves the health of the hair and scalp. For a polished finish: Organic lemon juice is a gentle cleanser that adds masses of shine and gloss. After using this for a little while now, I can say that I'm pretty much still on the fence about it. Pros: Though my hair is still a little frizzy, its definitely a bit better than it used to be. My hair is also softer to the touch and shinier. Cons: I've noticed my hair gets greasier a lot quicker since using this shampoo. I also feel as though it may be drying out my scalp, but it'll take a little more time to know for sure if its because of th...
