Always making mistakes at work?
Im 16 years old and have just started my first job. When I got the job I was so excited however I've been there a couple of weeks now and i feel as though I am constantly making mistakes and now I dread going in to work each day: I will go home and overanalyse every little thing. Many of the staff are very nice and helpful but I just feel like a nuisance and a waste of space. I feel like the management team are sick of my mistakes and regret taking me on. I am not naive, I realise that the working world is a lot harder than school and I understand that but I have always had problems with confidence and have little belief in myself. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice how to over come this so that I can stop feeling so worried
Am I making a mistake by moving from Chicago to Austin?
Congratulations on your decision, and Austin will most likely meet your desires. True, it is a little bit hot in the summer, but in the winter it is much more mild than the north, and it is right in the center of the beautiful Texas hill country. As for the feel, Austin is a decent mid-sized city which is constantly growing. This allows it to have the big city vibe you are looking for, but still remain a moderately safe and calm place to live. The Downtown area boasts one of the top tourists destinations in the city, 6th street, which if you have not heard, is home to one of the most recognized night life spots in the country. I do not really know many people from Chicago, but if you want fun and "All American," Austin is the place to go. The entire feel of Austin is balanced, because it is a music and nightlife hub as well as a political landmark being the Capital of Texas, but there are also enough large and reputable companies to keep the economy in good shape. Austin is truly a wonderful place, congratulations on your decision, and I hope you go through with it.
Am I making a mistake by going back to my home country? I came to Canada for studies but I don't like it here and I've decided to go back.
Assuming you finished your studies and got the degree you came to Canada for, it’s entirely up to you. It would be a giant waste of time for you to drop out in the middle of studies without a strong reason. If there’s no significant pressure holding you to Canada (eg. job offer, love interest etc) then really it’s an individual choice. Acclimating to a different culture is difficult, no matter how similar they are at first or how enticing it was before you came.You should just think about making the best choice for yourself and if you need some time to decide on it, take that time. Just be wary of going into the mode of “grass is always greener”.Ask yourself strongly what you want and where it is best for you to achieve that.
Am I making a mistake by moving away from family?
My husband wants to pursue his dream of becoming a mechanic in Arizona and I completely support this. The problem is moving so far away from family and my college. It is an eight hour drive and we are already on a tight budget. We have a six month old baby and his relationship with his grandparents is very important to me. He will have changed a lot by the time we would be able to come home again. I also don't know anybody there and would feel extremely lonely. I have online classes but was planning on taking some on campus classes in order to understand the material better here in our hometown.
Did I make a mistake by getting another cat?
ok, breath. Make sure you don't put the cats together right away. Put the new kitty in a quiet room, and let the kitties get to know each other thru the door...you can switch them around if you feel guilty about locking one up - but make sure you keep food and water for each of them in their respective areas. When you think they will get along put them in a room where they can be watched (best by using two people) and use leashes so you don't get in the middle of a fight. Also have the cats be able to get away from each other (like a tall cat house). If they start to hiss, take them apart immediately and put one back in the room. Give positive reinforcement if they get along.... IF you are having kitty-remorse, it's ok. Better to know now. See what your adoption contract says about it. You may not be allowed to give it to another person (remember Ellen DeGeneres?). Read it completely, and there should be a place in it that tells you what to do if it doesn't work out. Don't listen to people calling you a bad owner because you decided against it...better now than to just abandon it outside, or whatever. You are NOT a hoarder - you only have two cats....if that qualified as a hoarder, I'm in trouble. I have four cats (and two still don't get along after 8 years, but they tolerate each other) - and my friend has a lot more (she's a feral-colony guardian). BREATH. You'll be ok.
Made a stupid driving mistake and now I'm too scared to drive home?
Everyone makes mistakes. Hopefully big ones don't happen very often, but they DO happen to everyone and anyone who gets overly upset at someone who makes a mistake is not a perfect driver all the time, either. You've only had a license for two months, so you are a new driver. The good news is that you want to be a safe driver and you are very aware of making mistakes. Mistakes are to be learned from. This means that we do not repeat them, but we always keep them in mind so it does not happen again. Chances are very high that whatever you did, you will not do it again. It can take time to calm down after a mistake because your heart is pounding, and it's understandable to feel this way. Breathe slowly and calmly for a couple of minutes until your heart starts to slow down and the panicky feelings release. You will be able to get home without making that mistake again. If you continue to be afraid of making mistakes, ask an experienced driver to drive with you sometimes. This person can help you figure out where you need to improve, and what you are doing well. Sometimes it takes someone else to help you learn how to prevent mistakes, especially if you do not have much experience driving in a certain area. At the very least, you will not make that mistake again! And if you make others, realize that you can learn from it and become a better driver because of what happened.
It was a mistake to get married?
I only knew this guy for four months before me got married. His whole life revolves around me. He s so upset when he can t see me. I m only 19. I want to get through school and live with my parents. I don t want to live with him because he just got a job and I don t think he s financially capable. I also feel too young to go live with him. But, he s so upset when I can t go be with him and he s always trying to see me when I just want to be on my own. When I tell him that I just want to date, he ll blame everything on himself, stop eating, and be so depressed. He loves me wayyyy too much and I don t know how to get out of it!
Made a huge mistake at work, how severe is it?
I've started a job for a month now and things are going well and I'm learning fast. I make mistakes here and there but I call them "smart" mistakes. The kind you are learning from, the ones expected and be corrected or reviewed, the kind that doesn't cost or hurt anyone. One of my jobs was to issue a contract to Jane and it had her salary information on it. She was to return it after signing it. After 4 attempts she didn't respond so my supervisor said to cc her supervisor on a message. It worked, she finally returned the contract after the 5th message. A week later she emails my supervisor complaining I sent the contract to the wrong Jane and didn't appreciate anyone seeing her salary. My supervisor said just be more cautious and thinks hat the only reason she mentioned this was because she's feeling salty about me cc'ing her resume to get back at me. So it doesn't sound like my supervisor is mad but I feel awful. Bright side is I sent it correctly 4 out of 5x. 1. Have you ever sent confidential info to the wrong person and how did it go? 2. How many or how big of a mistake gets you fired? I don't think I will be if I really look outside but I always feel horrible if my mistakes affect others and get scared I will be. I guess I have to learn to double check always. How severe is my mistake?
