Low bar set

My goal is no crying at work today. The first day of my goto rotation yesterday was epically awful.

For the most part, I love my job. But not when I'm loaded up with time-critical tasks that I don't know how to do and no one wants to help. It's one of the things that keeps me from looking for a new position, because a raise isn't worth that kind of stress on a daily basis.

Oh, honey, I'm so sorry.

I was near tears this morning at work myself. Am working on calming down now. I send calming vibes your way. *hug*

*HUGS* Thank you, sweetheart.

I hate that kind of negative feedback loop, where you're so stressed out that you're crying, then it's stressful and humiliating that you're crying AT WORK so it amps up the emotions even further, and so on.

Here's to a better day for both of us.

I hope today's been better! And hey, at least it's Friday...

I hear you on the stress thing. I brought home two stacks of papers this afternoon, muttering "Who assigned them all this damn writing?" the whole way.

It was soooo much better. Someone actually stepped up to help me through the rough spots, so I got through the tasks assigned to me without crying once! It's amazing how stress relieving it can be to have your questions answered. *sigh*

Hope your grading went well! Perhaps this year's crop of clever ducklings will amuse you with their efforts? :)

Nothing is worse than people who won't help, especially when you're feeling in over your head.

But you got this. <3333

In over my head, at a remote location, so I can't just walk over to someone's cube and say "Can you look at this for me?" *ARGH*

Thank you! :)
