"Hi Boss. I applied for a volunteer position at the local museum so I could contribute more to the community. This was before you changed my hours. They'd like to meet with me briefly on _______. Would it be possible to reschedule my shift for that (half day) so I can take advantage of this opportunity?"

Easy peasy.



So far five people have voted for me to stay and two want me to go.


What are you implying? :?


I was feeling worse yesterday than I do today. However, I honestly have become burned out being here.


Are you saying that every single person here on Wrong Planet wants you to leave WP?

It's not true.

I didn’t say that. I just feel burned out that I have ghosts of failed dreams haunting me here.

If 8 people want you to stay, and 2 people want you to go, what do you think that means?

It means more people want me to stay than go but the ghosts of my failed dreams, the loss of support I’ve had to deal with since November, and seeing others post success stories while I have nothing to show makes me lose the incentive to stay.
