pressure

Sep 18, 2006 13:51

yesterday i had like an anxiety attack at work. I don't what happened. A customer came in and was angry that no one told him that the one hour photo was closed the other night when he dropped them off and that he had to wait till morning to pick them up. I called Karl over because he was there that night and he delt with him. then i went back to working on film and all of a sudden i start crying and on the verge of hyper ventalating and i can't calm myself down. My co-workers are telling me to take deep breaths and to calm down and tell them what's wrong. And i tell them it's because i can't keep doing this, i can't keep being the only one taking care of photo, and having them ask me to come in on my days off when i have homework to do, and how i'm stuck between work and school because joyce is gone, perna's on medical leave, and monica is on vacation which makes us short on people and how i try to hurry and do photo so that i can check at the same time so that whoever is on the floor can straighten and put stuff back that customers didn't want.
then karl came over and told me to go and calm down in the breakroom and that he was sorry that he put all this pressure on me and how he's going to have me teach him everything i know about photo and something about how he's hired some new people and all that they'll learn first is photo. then he told me to take monday off.

it took about an hour for me to completely calm down.
