Awwww Chicken A) You probably haven't miss counted ... And B) even if you had it's no big deal , honest  

I just feel so anxious all the time Know ill probably not sleep tonight. 

*agrees with Bazzy*

Where you given instructions and supervised?

Best to try not to worry. Go in tomorrow and see what happened. Don't feel embarrassed.

We all make mistakes (if indeed you did) Cracker

Try and keep things in perspective.

You're a new starter, mistakes bound to happen, everyone makes mistakes. Your colleages will have made plenty.

Its better if you have a relaxed attitude about it or more errors will follow.

People will respect you more if you are reflective and accepting of your error rather than uptight.

After all ... is it that disasterous if you did make a mistake?

Yeah was someone telling me how to do it. I cant stand this feeling tho. Its crippling!

I do sympathise Chicken ...anxiety is really horrible ...but you can worry about it all night , it won't change it ....if there is anything to change that is And in the scheme of things it would only be a tiny mistake , even if you've made one Trust me , I made much worse mistakes  during my working life So try not to dwell on it .... 

I made some 'gems' when I was picking and packing many many years ago Cracker. Nothing like opening a batch of many thousands of items and finding they are not the many thousands of items you ordered

I was still the 8 years later until I left of my own volition

Thanks guys. I just wish I didn't feel like this. I know ill be so worried going in tomorrow and its really annoying. I thought I was starting to get to grips with the actual job. Its like 1 step forward and 2 steps back

Is the size  of your anxiety equal to the size of your error?

Think about it

I dont know , possibly. I just dont want to be in that situation 

Come on mate - be brave.

Get in there tomorrow and face up to it. Take responsibility.

Looking back on my errors ... they were never as bad as i feared.

You can do this - get in there!!

Things will be ok PrawnCracker

You sound like you really care about doing your job well  - your employers will have noticed your good attitude hopefully   

i was knocking about with a girl years back who was quite high up at BBC-i went back stage with her on a children in need night

a floor manager asked me to go on the phone (dont forget this is live tv) as they were an operator down-he explained very quick about taking pledges/money etc..

i hadnt got a clue

i just kept picking phone up & putting my finger on receiver button, nodding & pretending to talk

so dont worry about a few stamps

i probably cost an african village its water supply

 Oooh you are awful

Prawny - it's so right what everybody has said.  I fully understand why you feel as you do - it is awful when you worry all out of proportion to what you think you have done.  However, I'm sure it'll be fine.  You can't do anything until tomorrow, so try and relax - I know it's hard

Oh pirate

I agree with all of the above We've all been in this situation, and don 't be afraid to ask for advice whenever you need to. You'll get there!

Wise words ... 

It'll be fine Chicken, really

If it makes you feel any better, my newly graduated son recently started a new job on a three month trial period.

The day they told him that he was now on a permanent contract he was so excited he left the office without (a) doing the post (b) turning out the lights and (c) locking up.

He remembered at about 9 pm - he was in the pub having some celebratory drinks. He legged it back to the office at a rate of knots  

Priceless, pirate

Try not to be anxious over what seems like a trivial mistake, and that's if you have made one. I panic over things that never happen, so I do know how you feel  It doesn't get us anywhere, I always think to myself what would be the worst case scenario and the worst case for you would be someone pointing out your mistake, if indeed you have made one and if they even pick up something like that. Please try not to stress out about it, this time tomorrow you'll be annoyed at yourself for getting wound up over nothing...and I know, I am that worrier  

*I really laughed out loud at Pirate's post*  

Pirate  

Chicken, remember what achievements you have managed over the years. If you DID make a mistake it really doesn't matter. Life is a string of mistakes and successes, heartbreak and joy. None of us are exempt from this. Let yourself off the hook. You're a fine human being.

Chicken, you may not have made a mistake at all, and even if you have, it's unlikely that it's a serious one. Try not to dwell on it - and that advice comes from one of the worst worriers in Scotland.

Pirate, you crack me up.

Pirate !  

So did I!

....and chicken, I agree with everyone else!

If you are so wound up about it, you probably DIDN'T make a mistake!

Cracker, pop on later and tell us how work went today, please

Well said that man.

And that man was Moonie
