Heavy Anxiety Day+Interview+ 2nd Jab booking
4 years ago
So, today started off with heavy nerves, as in really heavy. Usually I can manage my anxiety pretty well but today was damn near unmanageable.
Had a shower, got dressed in barely-worn jeans that now fit me, got my hair braided by my support worker (she is amazing at french braids, oh my god), and we headed off to where I needed to go. I got there 2 hours early so I sat in an undercover area then went in, got turned around a lot because while CDS is in Costco, they aren't a part of Costco, so I got turned around a lot trying to figure out where to go. Finally found it with 5 min to spare.
Interview wasn't too bad, but my anxiety got the best of me for some things as I'm not used to the interview process anymore due to not having an interview since 2017 (That's when I got hired on the spot at Spencer's.). I explained about my disability and how it affects me but how I work around it as best I can.
I also found out my headphones had gone missing which is a huge pain in the ass because I really liked my headphones and I like listening to music while I'm on the bus...they must have fallen out of my backpack at some point...
Got home, got back into my PJs and crashed because I was just so drained after my high anxiety and the interview that I needed a nap to mentally recharge. Just going to take it easy and not stress because my friend who works with CDS reassured me that I'd done a good job as the boss lady had said to her that I'd done a good job in the interview despite the nerves I had.
Here's hoping I get the job, because I know I'll do well at it. I most likely won't be starting until after the 25th because due to being flat broke right now I can't get the shirt and pants I need for the uniform.
Which, the manager completely understood as they work with people that have mental disabilities like mine, along with Autism, ect.
So...keeping my fingers crossed.
On a secondary note, my 2nd Pfizer jab is scheduled for the 30th of this month :D
EDIT as of 10:39pm
I found my headphones!
