First day was ok

School and/or work
1

Today was my first day at work & It went better than I could have asked for, the line manager made it really easy, and it looks like I maybe be able to work less for the same amount, what I mean by that is that he said I only really need to be there when it gets busy so I can shave 30mins or so of the morning and 30 of the afternoon, he said I can skip the afternoons for now as well.

I got all my work clothes as well :slight_smile: I felt really anxious after but it settled down, it makes sense I would feel that way as its a new environment and new responsibilities, new people.
hopefully it works out and it feels a lot more likely now :smiley:

Thanks, I hope you get your situation sorted out as well,

I am a little worried as my legs have been sore and I just hope the cfs doesn’t bite me in the ass again.

It was my first day on the crossing myself today and it went really well, I kept everyone safe and a lot of the kids and their parents were thanking me :slight_smile: I felt really good, its twice a day and I am hoping to do some things in-between shifts, like maybe my art group or go to my Mi charity.

Second day on the crossing myself, I started earlier and the head mistress asked my name and she said she’d put me in the school newsletter.

After the morning shift I pushed myself to got to the art group and I enjoyed it mostly but my chest got a bit sore near the end so I headed back for the second shift and had Lunch in a cafe with nice music playing and this settled the pain in my chest (anxiety).

I started early on the crossing again and a bunch of 10yr olds with their teacher came up and asked if I wanted a kindness card, I said that’s very nice of you and they said it was for mental health, it made me feel really good, Kids are great :slight_smile:

The only thing that’s been annoying me is the cost of travel, today I spent £4.70 for the train & £3.50 for the Subway and it would have been less if I used my concession card but I was too embarrassed as I had my work jacket on, people were saying just to use it, I will try and use it tomorrow. Its £20 a day and travel eats up a lot then my Lunch was about £10- its ok though, i’mm not sure why I am counting money but ‘hey ho’ lol

Thanks @Vaiana I have 3 days off Mon-Wed next week so that’ll be great

I found an id card on the crossing today so I’ll hand that to my Line Manager tomorrow, I should have given it in today after the shift but I didn’t.
