(Mods please feel free to move this if I have put this in the wrong area, I wasn't sure)
This summer when anything would go the slightest bit wrong I fell into this pattern of holding my head and doing a mini-primal scream. I had reached a point where I couldn't deal with any problems or make a decision of any kind. I was afraid I was going to be stuck in that for good, it sure seemed like it for awhile as time seemed to slow down to a crawl during this.
Well today something went wrong. I had two phone mystery shops to do - they were targeted phone shops - meaning I had to evaluate a specific individual - and on a recorded line. Without going into a lot of detail, I couldn't do the shops as I called several times for both but the targeted people did not answer. And I could not call the mystery shopping company to ask what to do as it is Saturday and no one is there.
What bothers me is that I may lose my good standing with this company now through was seems to me to be no fault of my own.
The good news though? I didn't freak out or scream or get upset or stress out. I just called and left a voice message and also sent an email. Worst case scenario, I'm done with this company.....The world will still go on. There are other mystery shopping companies and other ways to make money, too. What is important to me now is to get better and move on to whatever life is going to be like for me now. Gotta learn when to let it go and here and now with this seems to be appropriate for sure.
