The effects of retail (on me at least)

The Destroyer
I've been working retail for a paltry 2 years now. I originally planned to only be there one year before moving on but that just hasn't happened. I was going to also write about what I experienced there but I just stopped giving a :red: so we are left with pulp like this.. so here are the things I have experienced physically while working this "job".

Starting from what happened today. This is pretty much every time I get home from work. I can barely walk. My knee pain can be taken care of with turmeric and one or two pain pills but the worst is that I simply cant actually walk properly anymore. Just got back from a smoke and I had to use the walls to help me walk both ways. I am constantly tired all the time and it doesn't matter if I get 5 hours of sleep or 10. Nothing really gets me going besides an unrealistic amount of coffee.. and turmeric. Energy drinks do nothing, energy drinks AND coffee pills do nothing. A few of my more questionable concoctions.. nothing.

And you have seen turmeric come up a few times now. Used to it was just a simple pick me up for every now and then. Now I cannot function what so ever without a haphazard mix of turmeric, protein milk, and coffee. I need more protein in general lately or else I cant feel like I've eaten anything, that and eating bigger meals. Haven't gained a pound more from this. In fact I've actually lost a few pounds.

I cant sleep when I need to anymore. Leisurely time has become a holy activity and anything that interrupts it makes me extremely irritable and on edge. That includes sleep. Plus my sleep schedule is beyond :red:ed because of all the *random* hours I have to work each day. Now, even reality is unstable for me. I see things the way I've never seen them before. At least the researcher in me is intrigued.

I feel like I cant / there's no point in escaping it.
 
Well, that's pretty bad. Have you seen a doctor?
 
With the way this Thread is setup, it is primarily a rant on your personal experiences in Retail which doesn't open much for discussion overall.

If this Thread was opened with the premise of discussing Retail in general, that would have been fine. But after reviewing it, because it is mainly about the individual member. It is not acceptable. Rants such as this are best kept to one's profile.

Thread Locked.
