I am completely stressed out over my upcoming certification test for my new job. Apparently, they test us with 'live calls' and I am fReAkInG oUt. I am so afraid I will space out in the middle of the phone call and only be able to utter, uh, uh, um, uh..... I think you get the point. I was a nervous wreck all through class yesterday and more so each day as it gets closer and closer. Everytime I think about it my palms start sweating{this has never happened to me before} and I have this tightness in my chest. Last night after class, after homework, I was a complete and utter mess. I started baking to try and calm my nerves, we now have banana bread, cake{from scratch}, and if I think about it much longer, I'll be in there making cookies.....My kitchen looks like a bomb went off in it, total chaos. This madness has got to end! I'm sure it will be okay and in the end I'll wonder why I stressed so much to begin with. BUT, I'm not at the end yet{one more week} and the fear of the unknown is going to exhaust me.

Nope, didn't work. Still stressed out! Off to the kitchen I go for more baking....
What kind of calls are they?
ReplyDelete*sending calming vibes*
awww ((hugs)) you'll do fine!
ReplyDeleteOh no!! Maybe you need to get more energy out. Go for a run! If that doesn't work, bake some extra cookies and send them to me ;)
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, you WILL do fine! Just prepare as thoroughly as you can and do your best. It will be okay! (((Hugs)))
You'll do fine! Everyone freaks out about the first call & it's never as bad as you anticipate. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies! Oddly enough, I felt better when class started. I took my last final exam today and aced that puppy!!!! So feeling a bit better. I'll try not to freak myself out too much before certification. ;()
ReplyDeleteYou can do it!! Think postive thoughts (says the most negative blogger in the world right now ;)..
ReplyDelete***positive, calming vibes***
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome that you aced the test! You sound like me, getting in the kitchen and cooking/baking! At least hubs will be happy with the goodies:)
I completely understand your anxiety. Like Steph said: everyone freaks out about their first call but you just have to take the plunge and you'll do fine.
ReplyDeleteahahahaha I can picture a kitchen full of egg shells, milk and flour!!
ReplyDeleteI hate being put on the spot like that.
You will do great!!
