[QUOTE="whhhhaaaazzzzuuuuuppppppp, post: 2226655, member: 780369"] My first day. Hot, sweaty and mentally exhausted. I’m not particularly in the mood for writing anything at the moment but feel the need to get something down while emotions are fresh. Today was the first day of my new job, and I found it to be extremely stressful. I should have seen it coming really, as the supervisor said I would most likely hate working the Saturday shift. Just to weigh the situation up before the big day, I found myself passing the shop to check how busy it was. I suspected the supervisor was slightly exaggerating when she told me how busy they would be, as most people say their jobs are worse than they are so they sound more capable. The store didn’t seem too busy each time I passed, but this was clearly a mistake on my part. I felt overwhelmed by the amount of things to remember, and constantly wiped the sweat off my face hoping nobody would notice my stress. Things were good to start with as I was buddying with someone else. But I branched away and somehow started working independently and there was lots going on, and lots of people needed help. The end of the shift could not have come sooner, and just to add embarrassment, it was only 3 hours long. I’m sat at home thinking about the next time I am in, and am already worrying. Sigh, why must everyday situations be more stressful to me than they appear to others? [/QUOTE]
