Another tough one and I only worked 5 instead of the normal 7. Remembered my knee sleeves which helped some. Getting proper shoes and getting into a regular routine hopefully will get better. People get to listen to music via speakers so today I brought my earphones as I listen to alot of lengthy podcasts that will hopefully make days go by faster.

Everything from my dinner break on was rough. Love the place but the isu athlete supper rush puts the busiest day at oc to shame. Got emotional in office with gm and head chef as I was in pretty rough shape physically but superiors are amazing told me tomorrow to come in couple of hours later. They care more about my well-being. This was my longest day on my feet in like 4 months.

But mbb was down 2 starters at Houston and they didn't back down and I'm going to die trying before I quit.

Work your way back into shape. You've got this !

Having another emotional breakdown. The mind is willing but I this is too much for me. The amount of dishes need to feed an entire division 1 college is insane.

But I hate to let down the guys who gave me an opportunity when no one else would, friends and family which includes all of you.

  • Breathe slowly in and out. Again. And again.
  • Get a pen and paper and write down the two best things about this job.
  • Do the same for two things not so good.
  • Write two things you would never change about this job.
  • Then two things you would change if it was up to you.
  • Then, two things that could help you do your job if only your supervisor knew.
  • Then, two things you could do that would help with this job.
  • Finally, from these lists, choose one positive thing you can control and give yourself a high five; then choose one thing you need help with and make an appointment with your supervisor.
  • Know that every single one of us wants you to succeed.

As someone who started a new job one month ago I can say it gets nothing but easier with time. My head was spinning and my body sore for the first week but now I am mentally and physically use to the routine, hopefully that will be the case for you as well!

Just know that even those of us who have lurked since you started this thread we are all pulling for you and want what's best for you in the end and that you wouldn't be letting any of us down no matter what happens!

The head chef was there still around 7:30 I told him I was having issues. I had come in today at normal time of 1 so he told me the offer he made of coming in at 3 on Tues was a continuous offer. The supervisors and coworkers are amazing people.

You have found employers who want to help you succeed. That is rare any more. Just like the athletes, you are in training too in order to build up your strength until life and your job gets more manageable. Sounds like they believe you are worth the effort. We all do. And so should you.

You’re through Wednesday so just two more days to get a couple off. Every day and week you will get more efficient and get a routine. Within that routine you will find a ways to make things easier on yourself.

Your co-workers and bosses are wanting you to succeed. They and the rest of us believe in you. You got this.

My head is swimming lately, too. We got this.
