Welcome to Documentation Hell! Population: Me.
NMS told me my job wouldn't involve travel. Yet, for more than a half a year now, I seem to be on extended stay in Documentation Hell. I don't complete useful tasks, I have no feelings of satisfied accomplishment. Microsoft Word does not facilitate such things.
Ya know the worst part of it? Each documentation task has had a deadline associated with it, and was to be followed by something interesting. And each time, the deadline extended, and the interesting task was replaced with a bigger and more annoying documentation task.
This has happened to me no less than four times over the past 7 months. Finally, I have been given a unwavering deadline for when certain coding tasks must be done. It's for real this time.
Yet, I can't seem to get this last documentation task done. It's the biggest and hardest one yet...and my brain has gone on strike. I feel everything closing in on me all at once. Housing search around the corner, relationship concerns, allergies. I can't breathe (literally and figuratively)!
The good news is, I'm learning how to better deal with such things by venting :-D
