I have to work today & I'm a nervous wreck.?

Question

at a (nice) steakhouse. My section should only be 4 tables, but they turn over & over & over & over and I'm exhausted thinking about it. how do I get through?

Break? Are you kidding?

Answer 1

When I feel horrible about working, I seriously have to change my attitude and find someway to be upbeat, for me I usually say a prayer and start thinking about things to be grateful about today. Some ppl are all alone during this holiday and are lonely, or some ppl are having family problems. Some ppl have struggling to afford a Thanksgiving meal and are stressed about Christmas gifts. Then there are the ppl who are gonna be in a good mood going to dinner with their families, and you get the privilege to enjoy their company. Have fun today and don't think about it as "work".

Answer 2
