Thumbs down I might be paranoid

I went to the Eatery today. My thoughts were set on getting the job done and doing it well. We were slow.....very, very slow.
I sent a message to my boss about filling out paperwork like my W2 and time card. I have yet to do that since I started working there 4 days ago. I got no response from her and still havent gotten a response yet. The eatery is closed for the night. My husband asked me if I did anything? He doesnt understand why I would be worried. I told him that it seems a little unusual to not get back to a new employee. Am I working tomorrow? Am I not working? Am I fired, again? What do I do? My husband has asked me twice if I did anything to be fired? My track record over the last week is horrible.
I thought that everything went well with the Wedding. Yet, I am in limbo.
I know that this doesnt have anything to do with Alcohol. This has to do with my lively hood and my self esteem. I can not handle another FIRED in my life. Not now. Not ever again.
Im worried. These circle head emotions are comical.

I have no experience with this kind of employment but I think you might be letting your fear run away with you a little Miz.

There's lots of likely scenarios to consider before you get to 'I'm fired'...

Sometimes employers are a little behind the ball, too...

It's hard to stop ourselves from having negative thoughts, but try not to indulge them too much. One day at a time..... If your boss hasn't said responded, there could be lots of reasons (like not wanting to deal with work on their day off).

All we can do really, is worry about our end of the deal. I hope things work out for you, Mizz!

Mizzuno, it might be paranoia, but ya never know, boss's can't be unpredictable as it gets. If you haven't been drinking please don't let it be a trigger to start.

Deep breath Mizz...........now, exhale.....

One thing that I really had to work on (and not as much these days) is spending too much time worrying about things that never ended up happening...I had to untrain myself to this way of thinking.

This kind of thinking combined with my drinking almost ruined me.

It uses up sooooo much energy....you simply just don't know why you haven't heard back and that's it...all you got is NOW

True, I simply do not know why I havent heard back. Its out of my hands.

@ Neferk. Yes, people can be unpredictable. I know I have been in the past. No drinking for me. Skittles and water with a dash of SR. Oh, and don't forget Dual Survival. I need to learn how to survive in extreme conditions with a piece of plastic, a rope and a Dijurido.

I think it's more likely if you were fired again you would have heard from the boss. Maybe he/she just took a break from work for a day. Try to overthink everything and just concentrate on bringing some peace to your life. Even if it were the worst case scenario, you would make it through it-you are resilient and competent! Enjoy your skittles

Maybe she got caught up with something? I am guilty of that. Insert sheepish grin.
