Work. Work. Work. I'm getting into a pattern there, definitely, but I wish I could find out exactly how I'm doing and what I need to do in order to improve. And I want to be more conscientious.
I was called last week about picking up an extra shift and was away from my phone. That's fine, right? If you miss a call one time, it's understandable. The next time I was called, I answered and did, in fact, work. It was a pretty stressful shift, being that I had to close at a Hollywood Video I'd never even visited before, but I handled it fine. And tonight I was called yet again--but my phone was in my car. I'm petrified that I'll stop getting offers because of my relatively low rate of having my phone with me.
I need to be more responsible. I need to think ahead and realize that in order to get the money I need, I need to be reachable by those who can give me that money. I'm not going to be able to rest until I can talk to my managers tomorrow and let them know that I'm somewhat new to the whole "cell phone is by my side 24/7" thing, and that I'm happy to pick up virtually every shift I can. Further, I'll make it clear that I'll do my best to answer phone calls from now on. I just hope it comes across sincerely and they believe I'm actually dependable. I'm punctual as hell and have demonstrated lots of conscientiousness when it comes to making sure things go okay, but the phone thing is eating away at me now. Blugh.
