ramble about changes at work

My store was bought by a different company in January of last year. They are now remodeling our store to make it look like one of their stores.
I hate change. I sometimes worry that customers will think I am stupid because I don't know where anything is at. I think they will have re-done the cash register/photo area when I go in tomorrow. I wish things wouldn't change.
I try to tell myself that noone likes change. I was crabby at work yesterday. I hope my co-worker doesn't think I am weird. I don't want to cry at work again. I had thought I was going to cry myself out of a job until I discovered Lexapro. But, I hate change. I cried after work yesterday thinking about change. I cried some this morning and some this evening. You'd think that I would get tired of crying. But, I must love to cry. I get to talk to T next week. I miss her.
I want my store manager to like me. I don't know why I even care. He only like one supervisor whom some of thinks is lazy. He talks on his cell phone sometimes rather than working while on the clock. I wish my store manager would promote me to supervisor just because it would make me feel like he likes me. Why do I care whether he likes me or not? I thought I was done reacting to him like he is my step-father. Is this some kind of transferance or do you worry about whether your boss likes you even though you got a decent performance review in October. I mean I have never been written up in my three years with the store. But, I want him to like me rather than just keep me around. Why?
I jokingly told some of the people at work that I wish I could take vacation during the re-set/remodel and come back afterwards. I was jokingly told that my store manager would kill me. There is so many construction workers and we don't know what to do sometimes. yesterday, I did hardly nothing except cover the register for breaks and lunches. I helped to pick up some shelves that fell down and moved product to make room for where the cash register is going to be. I was there for eight hours! I was busy the whole time but just spent most of my time moving things or picking up a mess. What will the customers think when I don't know where things are anymore? Will they think I'm dumb? Why do I care what they think? T tells me not to worry what other people think. I know that I am a good person regardless of what other people think because I work hard to have a good character. I am a hard worker. I work hard to be honest and reliable. I try to refrain from judging others without knowing them first.

Dear Hopeful,
I am sorry you are in such tormoil. I think your T. is right, though. Try not to worry about what your store manager thinks as long as you are doing your job, then you have nothing to worry about.
As far as you thinking people will think you are stupid for not knowing where everything is, don't worry about that. It takes time to figure out where everything is after a remodel. Just take things slow and you will be OK.
Wishing you the best of luck!!

for me, as a customer, a reply such as "we've just finished remodeling and changing things, it may take me a minute to get you directed to the right area".........would be enough.......xoxoxo pat
