I got really stressed out today. The main kid that I have throughout the day at work was gone for the first half of the day. Not a big deal, obviously. I could have found something to do and still be productive. But instead I was thrust into filling an absent para's position where I didn't know what to do or what was really going on. They gave me her schedule and told me to follow it with no more direction than that unless I asked.

So basically I was left to fumble through everything in an unfamiliar job on my own. Granted I myself am a para, but the job I had to do today was different from what I normally do by a long shot. It was no fun at all and very stressful. It was stressful because I hate not knowing what to do or how to do something and I hate having to ask others for help and depend on others for direction. It was a horrible day at work.
