1st Job Options

[Fonzoman]

I got my fisrt job this week and it's kinda stressing me out. I feel SOO stupid and I feel like I'm never going to get the hang of things. My mom says that everyone feels like this on their first job and most people have anxiety and are stressed on their 1st job. Please tell me how you felt on your 1st job. Maybe I'll feel better once I find out what most people feel like on their VERY FORST JOB.

And dude, don't even worry about not getting the hang of things yet.

I had to learn how to make specialty pizzas (Supreme, Meat Lovers, Veggie Lovers, etc...) and I had to learn how to make it FAST. Come Friday night at the busiest time and you're on the make table and you've got 20+ orders to make... ::thud:: And people are screaming out for this pizza and that pizza and customers are angrily waiting for their oder... it gets frustrating and you forget how to make things and it slows you down. I got stuck on there the second week of work and I kept having to look up at the chart to see what toppings were supposed to be in a Supreme and whatnot... took me like 5 mins to make a pizza!

And guh, the computers? Taking the orders for the pizzas was horrendous. Each letter corresponded to a topping, and you know how people order their pizzas really quick... guh. When you're on the phones for the first time (especially if you don't like talking to people like me), and you're kind of quiet... taking orders was hard. I kept having to ask the people to repeat their orders. It took me a while before I memorized which letter was which topping. And to figure out all the damn coupons.

That was before I realized I could only do so much at once. But yeah, after a while, you get used to the rush and the routine... it just takes time.
