Shadowing

Well I leave to job shadow in about 15 minutes. I am incredibly nervous and I am not sure why. All I am going for is to watch the other hygienist do a few appointments and ask her any questions I might have. I guess I am scared they will get me to actually work. But I am sure they won't since I am going in today on my own time, I actually asked if I could since my last office chucked me into it and I had no idea what I was doing.

I am actually shaking as I write this. What is wrong with me? Why am I so scared of the unknown? I guess I just really worry about not being good enough, about messing up, and looking stupid and/or being incompetent. I know I can do this I have been training for 2 years and I graduated, if I could get through school, I can certainly get through work.

Work is just so different from school. Here it seems like you are completely on your own and you decide when you are finished and if you are doing a good job. It's up to me to do it all and that scares me. What if I miss finding things, what if I don't do 100%?????

Well enough worries for now. Hopefully I'll get through the day in one piece and will feel more at ease about the whole dh position when I get home. I just hope I am brave enough to ask all my questions!

Well I'd better head out.
