My journey in college and beginning of my career.

Firstly, my journey with school has not always been so easy simply because I have a really hard time to keep my concentration up and running hundred percent of the time, but, my love and dream to become a dental hygienist as always been bigger. I started my college experience at Montmorency and simply got into "Springboard to a DSC" witch is a program that lets you do only your basic classes and then asked to be transferred in my dental hygienist technique at Maisonneuve College. I am not going to lie by telling you that it was the hardest experience in my life but it was totally worth it because now I get to actually enjoy what I do in life as well as my career. Fast forward three years later after getting my diploma it was a normal morning when I remembered that one of my coworker actually hate me for no reason at all. She is actually in the way of retiring, so she only works on Wednesday and Friday, we are Friday today. I am beginning to ask myself if I should take a sick day since I have never taken one before or actually go to work and confront her regarding our issues.

Choice 1 : Calling my boss and tell her that I don't feel good today and that I would like to have a sick day.

Choice 2 : Being brave and deciding to still go to work and facing my coworker France.

Calling my boss and tell her that I don't feel good today and that I would like to have a sick day.

The reason why I wanted to ask for this sick day is because last week one of her regular patients requested me for the first time, and she took that as me trying to step on her steps, witch was not my intention at all but, since I am fresh out of school I can be using different techniques and also having a different approach, and she did not like that at all. I am not someone who likes confrontation, and I am only being the best version of myself at work and if that can bring me new patients I will not say no. Finally, I think I will take some time for myself, maybe take advantage of this situation and go to the grocery store or then again maybe I should take this opportunity to catch up on some of my paperwork.

Choice 1 : Going to the grocery store.

Choice 2 : Staying in my house and continuing my paperwork since I'm already a bit late with that.

Being brave and deciding to still go to work and facing my coworker France.

After going in I had one of my regular patients for a cleaning and also for a print of the patient teeth to send at the lab for some possible orthodontist treatments. My coworker was there as expected and was still holding a grudge against me just like I anticipated and that really intimidated me simply because, like I said I hate confrontation. After taking some time to myself to actually build up the courage I initiated the uncomfortable conversation and try to solve the problem. I talked to her, and she started crying and explaining to me that my boss actually had a meeting with her because some patients reported to her that they did not like their experienced because she could be a bit rough and not really compassionate. The difference between France and me is that in school I had a whole class about communication skills to help me maneuver sticky situations and maybe France has not the same vision as I go regarding that. I think I will maybe propose to her if she would like me giving her some tricks or simply comforting her.

Choice 1 : Asking France if she would like me to give her fresh advice.

Choice 2 : Comforting France.

Going to the grocery store.

I had been dreading going to the grocery store for the whole week because I had to do overtime every day since my patients have the really awful habit of being late for their appointment witch have to be one of the disadvantages of my work and working with the public, some people can, not take you seriously and take some of your personal time. After a whole week on eating leftovers I decided to treat myself by buying new food and it feels like these days that is my only alone time, so I will definitely take advantage of it. When I got to the grocery store I saw my boss from a far and instantly panicked, I was completely ambushed. Do I go over and tell her that I really needed some food to help and make me feel better and also to look like I have nothing to hide or do I rush out and not buy anything?

Choice 1 : After seeing my boss at the grocery store I go and say hi.

Choice 2 : I rush very quickly out of the groceries store.

Staying in my house and continuing my paperwork since I'm already a bit late with that.

After brainstorming for a while I chose to be reasonable and stay at my house to finally complete my paperwork about new dental forms to always be up to date with my work. After a couple of hours home I get a call from my boss but I'm scared to answer maybe I should just let it go straight to voicemail.

Choice 1 : I answer the call from my boss.

Choice 2 : I decline the call from my boss and go about my day.

Asking France if she would like me to give her fresh advice.

After France pouring her heart at me, I decided that it would be a good idea to offer my help by asking her out at a cafe, so we can sit down and revise her old ways of communication. The only problem is that she did not like my offer and sadly took it pretty personally. I like to have a sane environment at work and keeping a good relationship with everyone in my cabinet is truly important to me. I tried to apologize without any success. Should I try to redeem myself ounce more or do I go talk to my boss about her being a bit childish facing this situation?

Choice 1 : Redeem myself to France.

Choice 2 : Go and speak to my boss because I don't know what to do.

Comforting France.

After seeing how upset France was I decided to only comfort her and be there for her because I realized that her frustration had nothing to do with me, she just felt like she was not good enough and needed a shoulder to cry on. Maybe, I could ask her for lunch so can we can talk more or then again just go about my day.

Choice 1 : Asking France to go eat out for lunch.

Choice 2 : Go normally about my day.

After seeing my boss at the grocery store I go and say hi.

I was really not expecting to see my boss at the grocery store at her only day off, I never see her anywhere! I finally went and said hello even if this is the last thing I want to do. I catch her completely off guard, she is very confused since I sounded really upset earlier on the phone. I explain to her that I had no food home and that coming here was a necessity and thanked her for giving me the day off, I'm not really sure if she believed me or if she knows something is wrong.

Choice 1 : My boss actually believed me.

Choice 2 : My boss did not really believe me.

I rush very quickly out of the groceries store.

After seeing her from a distance I did not have the energy to explain myself I was having a bad day and I don't really like her anyway, it would only be unnatural. I dropped everything off at the cashier and told her that I had to leave and that I was sorry, rushed to my car and drove directly home, instead I ordered some pizza from this new place in my town!

Choice 1 : Give this section a short title.

I answer the call from my boss.

After letting my phone ring multiple times I decided to answer the call from my boss, so I don't seem shady. She basically told me that France went and talked to her about her issue about me and explained to me that she would like it if we could have a meeting to sort this out as a team. I am not sure yet if I want to.

Choice 1 : I accept the meeting with my boss and France.

Choice 2 : I decline her offer.

I decline the call from my boss and go about my day.

When I saw her name come up on my phone I decided not to answer because it would add up to the effect of me being sick and not feeling well.
