Guys,
I pulled a summer job in a photo studio. I sweat to death in it. No air conditioner. I get to the point where my ears almost pop and I want to faint. I only pulled it as a summer job because I work in education and I have a pretty little student loan. I'm married and I don't want my husband to pay a cent towards it.
I really don't want the job. It is not like what I thought it would be. I do the job, but it seems like it's not good enough. I was judged for pictures that my manager helped me do. She was the one judging them. It was really her doing the shoot, I just took the picture- she posed, helped the client, etc. I have been nervous but steady in prayer over this job this whole summer (since May). I had to practice sessions on family. My cousin asked if my manager was nice. My aunt said she thought that she was too hard on me (this is the red flag that made me worry). These comments after the first time my manager spoke to them. I thought it was just the way she talked. I already know how to do my job, it's just that I can't seem to give her what she wants. I already do this job professionally for myself, I just have slow traffic due to the overload of "cheap pictures" in the area I live in, so I decided to try something different.
My manager can really be a team player, I just don't understand her even though she is super empathetic. Maybe that is just how she is in the beginning??? Not sure. She wants me to stay through the Christmas season because she can "work around my first job's hours." I now have a full time job, and I will lose my sanity in this place. Only 3 days a month is all I have to work, but after a 40 hr week where I drive about 1:10 to get there and 1:10 back home, I can't do that! Even clients are not happy with her. Other photographers in the studio have the worst customer service. One almost made a client cry. It was super sad. I almost walked out that day. It made me so mad. That photographer was also off the clock shooting under my name. Which is A OK with me, but she cut into another session's time. I had to rebook that one. I love having excellent customer service.
Rant almost over. I am just so uncomfortable working there. My new job only lasts 9 weeks and I cannot continue to work at the studio while working full-time. I took a vacation week just so I wouldn't have to go in. I book fake sessions under family member's names and #s just so I don't feel rushed and sweat to the point that I pass out because I have to work alone. My boss says cuss words that triggers past thoughts (anxiety and OCD over here). I mean she says she's a Christian and she sits around saying MF and GD and I mean it's not because she's mad, just casual and that kills me for someone to say God's good name in vain. It sticks in my mind.
How do I write this notice? I feel like she has put a lot of effort in me. I hate working her to death to help me for me to turn around and leave. She KNOWS that I only wanted a summer job. Prayers please. I start a new job in August. My husband works out of town (who knows how long), and I live in a house that gives me the creeps and then strangers show up and it just gives me the creeps because I live so far off the road.
