Okay, my brain isn't really blank--at least not all the time--but yesterday I had moments that were very frustrating.
We worked at a fundraising event yesterday. Most of the day, we were at the merchandise tent. I was filling out simple sales receipts. I made a few mistakes, then it seemed like I couldn't do anything right. I asked my DH if he would handle his job and mine for awhile, and I simply sat and greeted people.
Then, I was asked to fill in at ticket sales while someone took a break. I was okay until someone handed me a $20 bill and needed change. Three times I made a mistake--the tickets were $1 each, so it was supposed to be easy. I then switched with another woman who was counting out the tickets, figuring I could at least handle that. I sat there for awhile with tears in my eyes, blinking furiously, determined not to cry.
I get so frustrated!! I want to participate in things like this, but it's hard not to feel useless at times and just want to stay at home and not be in these situations.
