    Awww, I'm sorry your first day wasn't all that great, but glad your second went better.

    Hope it just keeps getting better from now on.

    Have a nice day!

    Always takes a while to settle into a job - you'll soon be an old hand at it and be able to smile knowingly when someone else has to go through it!

    *Hugs* a new job is always so scary. It takes about a month or so before I usually feel comfortable. After that, it gets so much better. Good luck!

    I hope your third day is going better. Jobs are never easy to start out with. I remember my first job was at Arby's...oh my gosh, I stunk! It was horrible. But, by the time I had to leave (due to moving from the state), I was training people and really hated leaving. I loved that job. It was fun, and, never boring. But, the food industry isn't easy, but, it's worth it. Good luck, and, remember that who you are and what you do are not the same thing. Something my dad told me recently that has really helped me a lot lately, in my search for the future.

    Sorry your first day didn't go so well... I hope it gets better. It takes a bit to get used to how you need to pace yourself.

    I'm going on my second week at my very first job and i've loved it since day one. I'm lucky to know almost everyone of my co-workers personally and none of them have said anything but nice comments and told me i'm doing great.


    I really hope it gets better for you and your co-workers learn how to teach and help you instead of put you down. That just makes the workplace miserable.

    Well I've survived day 3. It was a bit easier than yesterday but not much... they kept me there an extra 40 minutes too, blah! I'm sure I'll get the hang of it once I've been there a bit longer. The staff keeps assuring me it WILL get better and that I got hired at their busiest time of year.

    I also ran into an old friend of mine today too, I had no idea she worked there, she works in housekeeping though.

    Luckily tomorrow is my last day of work for a few days, I work Sunday-Tuesday from 9am-3pm.
