Today’s been easier, and not… I’ve had an easy (kinf of) chore, together with cashiers duty (with the same coworker as yesterday), and we’ve been talking a lot. So, my brain was tired after a couple of hours. Then another coworker, after he ended his work hours, started talking with me and telling a story. He’s a kind man and I didn’t want to be rude and cut him off, so I stood there, listened and talked with him. One of the bosses tried to save me, but after I’d answered her, he kept talking. Another coworker tried to save me, but after I’d answered her, he kept talking. I felt tide up and a bit stressed…
Afterwards, I spoke with the boss and told her the situation. She said she saw on my body language that I was stressed and tried to help. I need to say something to cut the conversation, if it happens again, in a friendly way.
We didn’t have any customers, apart from the talkative coworker and one of the bosses, so not much practice today. But, I’m starting to feel more comfortable as long as I take a breath or two, to calm myself and take things slow.
