Nasty character letters :(
Ok is it just me or is anyone else frustrated with those stupid character letters we have to type in when we want to make a comment on someone's blog. I know you can just keep searching through them to find one that looks like it is the easiest to type in but I have had quite a few encounters where I thought it was easy then BAM! all my comments were gone because I didn't enter it correctly.
Personally I don't quite understand why they can't just keep your comments and make you just enter new characters. Oh well, just wanted to rant a little about it...lol.
Rant is over now..lol.
Well thankfully work didn't go as bad as I thought it would yesterday. The clients were not mad at me. I guess some of them were upset because they were unaware they had been written up. That is my fault but only because I really didn't quite understand that whole write up process as it is and finally spoke with another unit manager yesterday and had it explained to me better. I spoke with the clients at one of our meetings and apologized for the confusion I created and explained to them how the whole write up process works to make sure they understood as well. They ended up going on their outing which was good. It was a very beautiful day so glad they were able to get out and enjoy it. Right now I am feeling frustrated at my job. Mainly because I feel my training was a bit lacking and now I am trying to feel my way through it all which really sucks. Plus the whole write up thing has me a bit overwhelmed because I have never had a job where I have had to do that. I know it will get easier as time goes on but I really hate feeling out of my element. Until I get the hang of things, it will be a rough period for me. I think I am going to talk to my boss about my frustrations on Monday if I can. See what advice she can give me. Plus I work with another Unit Manager on Monday who I like talking to. He has been there for 13 years so I know he will have some helpful advice as well. I think after talking it out I will start feeling better.
In the meantime, my work outs have pretty much came to a halt. I am not sure why I can't seem to get back to them again. My schedule is out for the rest of the month so it is not like I don't know what I am working. I think I will have to ease myself back into it again and set small goals for me to accomplish each week. My stomach has been on the fritz lately. I think I might have gotten a hold of a stomach bug with the way I have been feeling. Hopefully things will get back to normal here soon.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend! Take Care!

I am right there with ya!
Hey. I am sorry work has been tough. It is so hard to train for a new job. I also know how hard it is to keep track when you are stressed out....you know that throws me under the bus every time. So just take it one day at a time like you have. If it gets crazy. Remember you have us extrapounds friends to lean on.
You are such a postive energy person.....use that for your advantage.
Keep your chin up and keep in touch.

I agree
The code letters are frustrating sometimes. I've had whole comments disappear. Now before I enter the code, I highlight the text of the comment and copy it, so if it disappears, I can just paste what I typed back in and not have to try to retype or remember what I was trying to say.
I'm glad that work turned out ok for you. It is definitely challenging when they just throw you in and expect you to know exactly what to do without a lot of training. Hopefully after the first couple of weeks you will feel more at ease. The beginning is always the most overwhelming.
Also, thanks for all of your encouragement. I always enjoy reading your comments.
