Can I get through this?
This job is taking it toll on me this week. Mainly, because I do not have an assistant because she is on bed rest for her bad back. This is how it was when I first started the job. The difference is that I cannot just do thing the way I want them too. I know that part on my problem with this is that I have been do it one way for so long that it is very hard to be suddenly doing it another way and being criticized for the way that I was doing it. And I know the criticism is constructive and will help me write better, but after you have been criticized for the way you are handling one thing and then get reviewed on your work and their are so many marking of what should be changed, you wonder why you are doing this. And then have to fix what was just reviewed because I work on deadlines and it has to get done to be turned in tomorrow.
Then your boss tells you that you cannot do it all by yourself, but when you are the only person there that can do parts of the job, what are you going to do. You are going to do the job. Especially when deadllines are involved. I have been doing this for almost a year (Feb 1st will mark the year) and it has been nothing but turmoil the whole time. Part of me wants to ride it out and get it to a place where it would not be so crazy and when major request come up, we can handle them without to much extra work. But the other part of me wants to get out.
I have never seen myself as a quitter as law school proved. And this feels like law school all over again. Except I have a family that I have to take care of and not just a cat.
Well, I need to go get ready for work. Have a brief to turn in today and another one to get ready for tomorrow. Hopefully, my Asst is there and can work. ( I don't mean to sound insensitive, but I really need her to be able to work.)
I will figure out what to do or go insane.
