I am so tired I feel like crying. Didn't help I was up at 2am--just anxiety and then at work by 5:30am. He wanted me tomorrow too but I told him I need one day in between.....So I guess it's Friday and then Saturday I'm there alone with only the cook. The pay is not great and I may have taken on more then I need right now. I'll give it a shot still I sure am not going to do the cooking thing and I think that is what he really wants.....We'll see--I am just sad and tired.

You just need a hug, and someone to tell you it will be OK. Of course you are overwhelmed right now, because its all so new. Everyone feels this way with a new job.
You are not a quitter, so get some sleep and keep at it. You might find that this is not a good fit for you, but you need to gain mastery of it first, and that will make you proud of yourself.

Do what you do for everything else: one step at a time. Watch, learn, and see if it fits you or not.

Good thinking elston...I seem to always make things more then they really are. I am still tired and sore and no they didn't ease me into this at all but for now I will do my best. If I feel better and we can work out the amount of days I work and such then we will see.

Joining work force after a long time can be very stressful Cyn. Once you get the hang of things, perhaps it will get better.

So sorry to hear that your first day was so rough, cyn. Your feet and legs must have been screaming! Good for you not going in today. Wise words (again) from elston. Other than being physically drained, how did it go? Remember, you can always quit if it is too much for you. Don't let them bully you into staying if you really don't want to stay. I have worked for small mom and pop places when I was young and they can want you to bleed for them. Soak your feet in Epsom Salts. That helps.

I have not had this bad of anxiety since my DH first passed away----so I decided that my body/mind is trying to tell me something--like maybe this is to much to soon. I do have a tendency to push myself to much at times but I refuse to lose all of that good I have accomplished over the last 8 months over this so I went down and talked to the owners daughter (he wasn't in yet) I told her my situation and told her I would come in tomorrow and Saturday so they wouldn't be left without any help and she said not to worry they had enough people to cover it and if and when I ever feel strong enough and want to work there to come on in. How nice! So for now That job is over. I am just not ready. I can make that much on ebay if I sit down and do it. I guess I got tired of being home but lately I have been getting out a lot more so working at home doesn't seem that bad now!
