I was a
little nervous that my boss didn’t like my work ethics and the quality or
quantity of work I had done. I walked in the office a little shy then sat down
at the conference table as ready as I could be for the morning meeting and
hopefully prepared for any questions I would be asked. But the whole meeting so
many thoughts were going through my head, “be yourself”, “no, never mind! Act
normal”, “I bet what I just said made me sound dumb”. I was freaking out over
every little thing so nervous that I wouldn’t live up to his expectations. But
then I remembered what my mother always taught me. Every time I ever went
through a break up or bad school picture my mom would always repeat the same
advice, “Breathe. If it was meant to happen, it will and there is nothing you
can do about it. Breathe.” That worked for all of three seconds and then I
started thinking too much again! I started thinking how proud my mom said she
was, my dad saying I am doing a great job, my sister getting fired and so much
more that I almost forgot to answer my boss’ questions! I think he realised
that this job was a new situation for me and that maybe I am a little crazy, so
he reassured me that I was doing well and that he didn’t expect perfect which
took a lot of stress off my shoulders and made me relax for once! Thank
goodness the people around here are so understanding because if they weren’t my
first day could have also been my last!
