Please tell me I'm normal.

I just got home and realized I may have made a mistake on part of an assignment I was given (it's one of those situations like when you can't remember whether or not you turned your oven off before you left the house... like I just don't remember if I did the project assignment the correct way. ****.). Not to mention I made some dumb errors over the last few days.

I'm super Type-A, so making mistakes/errors is SO embarrassing for me. Plus, I moved really far out of state for this job, so I'd hate to keep screwing up and then lose it during the probationary period and have to move home.

Most new jobs suck the first 6 months to 1 year. It's a HUGE adjustment period. We all go through it. Give yourself a break and allow yourself to go through the natural learning curve. See if you can find an informal mentor or buddy. Try to research things yourself BUT don't be afraid to ask questions if you can't find what you need on your own.

I'm sure you'll pick things up in due time.

The learning curve at many jobs is six months to a year. Your management team should understand this. I wouldn't worry about it. We all put a ton of pressure on ourselves to be perfect from day one.

It seems that you are not embaressed to use F word on a public forum. Forgive me if my mention of this makes you uncomfortable.

Don't be so harsh on yourself. You just start this job, it will get better and better. If it is necessary, do some practice work on your own time.

It's a "public" forum... but also anonymous. You don't know who I am. So, yeah, I don't give a "f*ck" about saying the word "f*ck" online. Your opinion doesn't make me uncomfortable, I just don't see how it's relevant.

If you don't see there is a problem, then there is no problem. My eyes are not very use to see this word and it is on your title of this post so It is inevitable to see. You get so ofensive of this, it says a lot about you. I will shun your post in the future. I admit it is my faul that I even click your post at the first time.

Yeah, I mean he could misspell **** all the time, leave definite articles (like the word "the") out of his sentences or something truly embarrassing like that.

I don't know what to say.
I can only speak my native language perfectly.

Then it might be best to not call others out on theirs.
