today was one of those days where everything that could go wrong, went wrong. my car broke down, so i had to drive my boyfriends other car to work. i tried my best to gather everything i needed for work out of my car, but i picked up the wrong apron (i grabbed a dirty one with no nametag) and i was in such a panic because of it, that i managed to forget my SHOES. so when i got to work and realized i was without shoes, i decided to go in anyway and have my boyfriend bring my shoes to work. i talked to my shift supervisor, and she told me it was fine and to just do the dishes while i waited but with protection (rags covering my clean socks). my manager comes to the back, sees my dirty apron first and proceeds to lecture me about it in the most condescending way possible. she then looked me up and down, and noticed my lack of shoes. as i was trying to explain to her the situation, she talks over me and lectures me and forces me to sit in a chair and stay there like im a toddler in timeout. i understand that im an idiot for forgetting my shoes, but i already felt bad enough and tried to make myself useful in the best way i could only to get shut down and treated like a child. i also absolutely hate confrontation, and failure, so all of the lectures i received in a ten minute span caused me to have a panic attack. on the bright side, i had a long conversation with my shift supervisor about all the stress that ive been dealing with in the past two days and she made me feel 100 times better about it.

but yeah, i get im an idiot. but im an over-worked, over-stressed 16 year old. i’m gonna mess up once or twice, or maybe a thousand times. but i do my job better than some of my coworkers who have been there for years and i learn super fast. idk, i just dont think i deserved to be treated like a toddler.
