I know exactly what you mean. ...Deeeeeear Celeste. I know exactly what you mean. I felt like I was the scum of the earth for about the first 2 months of my job at Desert Star. That was until I realized I was one of the few who actually cared about my job...hahaha. But I mean, every time I ordered something wrong or dropped food and it had to be remade, I felt like a complete and utter failure. I felt like I was letting EVERYBODY down. I just have to tell you though, I don't find it completely prideful to compare yourself to others in the workplace. I think it's a good way to know how you're doing. If you look around you and feel like you aren't doing well, then you will only work harder. Then by the time you feel like you're above par or on track, you'll be used to working hard and you'll only continue upward. That's just my opinion though. If you work hard (which I'm sure you do), you'll be surprised at how many people pay attention and respect that.Katie Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01958959255269212281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324154446950590659.post-37863368095377677862010-09-25T10:32:17.633-06:002010-09-25T10:32:17.633-06:00Ya. I started working at a new branch this past we...Ya. I started working at a new branch this past week and it's been a rough adjustment. Everything you said hit the nail on the head. For me it's hardest to go from being the one who's been at a place the longest and knows a lot to being a stranger where everyone else knows more than you. So ya. I guess it's pride for me too.Kristiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16999630986750362849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324154446950590659.post-73942265338889013962010-09-24T20:40:54.581-06:002010-09-24T20:40:54.581-06:00Oh, girl. You are SO not alone!! I'm right the...Oh, girl. You are SO not alone!! I'm right there with you. On every aspect. It isn't a fun realization, is it? <br />Yeah... And I certainly know how you feeling being new to a job! You're flustered and frustrated by your lack of knowledge and abundance of mishaps..! Look on the bright side: at least you still have your job and they're letting you learn! I got fired for my mishaps.. After only a month. Really, people?? Really? So no. You are NOT alone, and you have people who believe in you--you will learn and get the hang of it. Look at how well you drive now!! ;D <br />And you have people who think you are great, regardless of how you do or don't compare yourself to others.<br />:) Thanks for sharing your weaknesses. It helps me realize my own (we have a lot the same!) and help me want to work on them.<br />Ilikeyou. :) Thanks, Celeste.
