I’m Going Back to Work!
I was just hired to work 12 hours a week at a major supermarket chain in our area. I have not worked for someone else for 6 years and I am a little nervous. I will be working only as a cashier because I fear that any of the other jobs would be too physically challenging for me. I have been wanting to attempt going back to work a few hours a week for quite some time now but fear kept stopping me. What if I can’t do the job? What if I have to call in sick too many times? What if my IC Disease acts up while I am working on the cash register? What if my chronic fatigue syndrome keeps me from getting out of bed to get ready for work? I finally realized though that I can’t live by the “what ifs”. I have to try this for me. I need adult interaction and I deserve to do something for me.
What’s the worst thing that can happen by trying? If I can’t physically handle the job I will just have to quit. But I feel that I need to at least try. I hope it all works out okay! I start next week.
