Mind was somewhere else

Was working a shift last night at Sonic with a lot of family stuff on my mind and I put the wrong drink on one order and entirely wrong food on a nother one. I was jus rlly distracted and spaced out but the second guy got sorta pissed his order was wrong.. I know I messed up but how does everyone else seperate work and like family personal stuff? It just takes up so much thought its imposible to not think about especially when its slow at work and theres nothing to take up your time

Try breathing exercises and you may have to step away and take a couple 5 min breaks during your shift just to calm your thoughts.

Sometimes, you can't separate them. But I recommend that you write the issues down, pray about them on your break or before work, And stay off your phone during the day (if this is an issue). I say that because usually, I get stressed about home-stuff when i am constantly getting phone calls and text messages about home. And so, I have to turn off my phone. Usually, this provides a temporary "out of sight, out of mind" barrier between me and that. And if that doesn't work, maybe talk it out with someone you can trust at work. For me, that's the person who works at the same station as I. But I don't give too many details. Other times, I send a quick email of the problem to my pastor's wife and she usually sends me encouragement or a prayer back before the end of the day. But the exercise of venting it to someone I respect and trust helps a lot... and turning my phone off.

It happens and everyone is human. Just apologize, try to fix it and move on. I always had a pad that I would jot things down on and try to get it out of my head.

It happens to all of us, your battle is half won by knowing what you did wrong and why it happened. Let others know if you need assistance It really isn't anything that you couldn't rectify.
