My training starts almost an hour later than my normal shift, therefore I got to sleep in an extra hour...wow, heaven! But holy hell, who would have thought traffic was that bad an hour later than normal. So, not that I was running late but in my mind, it was nip and tuck! Then a quick run in the rain, made it to work!
The morning was crazy. So much information thrown at me all at once, my head was spinning. I wasn't keeping things straight and I thought I was a goner. Especially since the other person training seemed to be flying through it.
By noon, I was almost in tears. I took my lunch bag upstairs, couldn't eat lunch due to the fact that I was sure I was going to throw up and sat down to text my friends.
Thank god for friends! They lifted me up and told me everything I know about myself but seem to forget. That I am amazing and will do amazing. To breath deeply. To do my thing. That I am a superstar. To stay positive. To ignore the negativity. To not stress. That I am smart. That their money is on my in the long run! And that to be overwhelmed on the first day is an excellent sign that I will enjoy the challenge of the job in the weeks to come. That anything you master on the first day, I am sure to be bored with it by the next week.
After that, I was able to pick myself up, go back to work and the afternoon went much better. I kept my positivity up and ended the day on a positive note. And even though as I walked back to my car, my umbrella caught the wind, snapped and cut open my hand.
Just keep smiling =) Friends can get you through everything. They remind you of who you are and who you can be. Those are true friends. I am so thankful for my friends....each and every one of them.
