I am excited for my new job but I'm worried I'm going to bother people asking for help or ask something that they will think is a dumb question. As far back as I can remember I've hated asking for help. It just felt embarrassing. First job help as either not available or I was made to feel stupid for asking. (Why didn't you pick up on this in training, do you have a learning disability?, etc). Current job no one asks but I keep finding I have to call because there are no cheat sheets or something pops up that needs someone with more expertise to answer. I reluctantly asked but I always say "I have a really stupid question, but how do I do this?" or "Dumb question, but did I do this right?" The job I'm going into is going to be busier and I'm afraid I'll be a bother if I ask too many questions. I'm bringing a notebook to take notes in (I do better if I have it written down and cheat sheets help keep it straight) but eventually I'll have to ask....How do you do it without feeling you've asked the dumbest question in history?
