I have tons of questions and no one ever really gives me a straight answer. As a former trainer I guess it's frustrating to see so many people do so little to help new hires. I feel like I am dealing with very dangerous chemicals but no one will tell me how to handle them without blowing myself up. I think I may be over thinking it and in reality the reason no one gives me a straight answer is because the answer is " no one cares how you do it just sound nice." But I guess since I am a new hire I have some wiggle room to fuck up big time and maybe learn from it. I just wish I had more confidence in what I am doing.

I know all this yet I can't seem to calm myself down.I always feel like I am fucking up everything really really bad and I am going to get fired at any minute.

I totally feel ya bro. I have worked in retail for 9 years, and it sucks. A terrible job is terrible. I have just reached the point in life where I am finally starting to transition into what I want to do.
