I feel so stupid for doing this?!


Question: I feel so stupid for doing this!?
I finished a diploma of information technology last year and had to do 120 hours of work experience, which I did with our local councils IT department where I didn't do too well at all, I didn't work well, I was late, and I even ended up crying at the end in front of the man in charge there because I was so behind in my work!. They couldn
Answers:
Don't you hate when you do something you know was just really idiotic and then can't keep from replaying it over and over in your head!? Anyway, has she actually said you can't do your work experience there!?!?
I know it's easier said then done but maybe you should wait until she gets back to you - then you could have an explanation ready for why your work was not up to scratch!. You could tell her you were really not enjoying your placement and were dealing with some personal issues which you now have under control and if she would just give you a second chance you could prove to her that your a great worker!.

Hope it helps - and again, please don't beat yourself up!. It won't really help!. People do stupid things all the time! - Well I do anyway :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Calm down!. We all make mistakes!. Would you honestly have felt better if you would have lies to her!? I know I wouldn't have because I have a huge guilty conscience when I do something wrong!. Maybe there is a way you could work this out!. Try to explain the situation to her!. Some people are understanding!.

Best of Luck!

You poor thing, I just wanna give you a cuddle!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The stupid things that I do in life make the smart things look even better!
Life will go on and in 20 years you will never remember it!. Just kidding, you will forget it and get over it!. Don't worry, that is something you will never do again!.
Learn from your mistakes and go forward!.

Good luck and learn from your mistakes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

We all make mistakes, it's called being human!.
As yet you have not heard back from the personnel dept!. so you may be worrying for nothing!. In the meanwhile think of some good excuse as to why your performance was poor at the IT dept!.
If the worse comes to the worse you can get your work experience somewhere else and then look at seeking employment there further down the line!.
If it turns out you fail in your attempt to get work at the place you want there are still plenty of other places you could work!.
As the saying goes ' As one door closes, another one opens'!.
Good luck for you future, and try not to beat yourself up about it so much!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, what can any of us say to you other than it is good to know that there are honest people in the world!. Sometimes though it may not turn out as you think it will!. I had a job where I was bullied for four years and was working under incredible stress near the end!. It ended up that not only did I get a redundancy payout I also got two very good referrees from that workplace even though everyone said that they hated me and ran around spreading rumours behind my back!. Im going to cross my fingers for you though and hope that everything turnsout ok!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi There!
I can tell by the way you spell your words that you are not from the states, where I live!. That gives me misfortune of not knowing how available other places of employment are available to you and why you believe you are 'completely screwed'!.
I do know however that you do have to stop kicking yourself in the butt and calling yourself an idiot!. If you finished any type of a higher education you are obviously not that!.
My suggestion to you, and it is only a suggestion of course, is to go back to the woman you did the interview with and talk to her again!. Tell her you were nervous, that you answered her question on impulse, and then explain your situation!. If you were under some sort of duress during your internship maybe you can explain that!. If in fact you were just being an irresponsible worker, were you maybe a little overwhelmed and tried to do this all too quickly after getting your degree or whatever, maybe you can make this woman understand!.
If the whole situation is impossible, guess what, maybe all private fitness facilities are not that 'god-awful'!.
Please think about it and PLEASE stop calling yourself an idiot!.

On a side note - if you are familiar at all with the movie icon 'Tom Cruise', maybe you have seen the movie he was in (showing my age here because it's one of his first) 'Risky Business'!. If you have seen it, think back on a phrase that came up in it: "Sometimes you just have to say 'what the #$%^'"!. If you have not seen it, try to rent it and watch it!. It sounds like you need a good laugh, after all it is 'the best medicine', and it might turn your perspective a notch and inspire you to come up with a good solution to this problem you have found yourself in!.
Some people think I am nuts, but I have found a lot of inspiration from movies and the contents in them!.
I really hope this helps and please know I am rooting for you!.
