"You never worked a day in your life until you were 22? Wow! How did you get hired at such an old age without any work experience?"
To whoever left that comment, I previously worked for a short period as an intern for the same institution that offered me my first job, therefore I was no stranger to them. Oh, and I started working at "such an old age" because 1) was pursuing my bachelors degree full time 2) my parents paid for my tuition and all other expenses so I can focus only on my studies.
Next time leave your name so I can return the rep favor.
That's interesting that you didn't work while in high school. I'm definitely going to encourage my kids to work in high school and college. Millions of kids do it while handling school and it's doable for the average high school/college student. Work experience can really help kids learn about life while making their own pocket change and not having to rely on mom and dad for money.
Not having a job until you are 22 does put you at a disadvantage, but it seems like it worked out for you so that's good.
Oh my goodness!!! best night at work. I was the dinning room assistant and I loved it. My manager said that I did really good! And my other manager told me she needed to talk to me before I left and she told me that I did rely good and that I had really good people skills I was so glad. Even hough I did really good I know my nerves will come back. Oh I have a meeting with the councler in two weeks so I will hopefully find more answers (:
I'm glad you had a good day. Just keep thinking about your good days when you're getting ready for work. But you can't just rely on your good days and then regress when you have bad days because EVERYONE has good and bad days and it might not be smart to categorize every day as either good or bad. Good luck with your counseling. Hopefully your counselor will give you some helpful tips to manage your anxiety.
Last night was a fun night at work. All my friends were working so it made it fun and not that stressful. I work today also. Its during our rush. I am always scheduled during our rush.
Hello!! (: Things are going pretty good. I just got off work actually. It was good! I was a little nervous at first but not a lot and I did fine the whole night.. I didn't get down on my self when i messed up either. they asked me to work a double tomorrow. So i'll be working for a while! Ahah but I don't mind. Atleast right now I don't. Last night the nerves came the next day. So i'll have to wait and see. (:
yeah I am glad that I got asked to work that double. It went good! I wasn't short on my drawr or anything. I thought I would be because I was working so long! I work today. And tomorrow. And then Saturday and Sunday. I do DRA tomorrow. I'm nervous for that. It'll be only my second time. I'm always so tempted to call and say I can't come in but I always make sure I don't and go in.
It's great that you realize that calling off will make things worse. Never call off.
It's clear that you're an excellent worker. Don't be nervous about doing DRA. You had the best night ever last time you did DRA. You loved it! Just remind yourself of that!
