Ack!
I’m sorry Nathaniel, I don’t have time to read your LJ right now, but things are improving. Like today I finally went to the doctor. (even though I was supposed to go about 40 days ago) The doctor was not impressed.
Today I have seen (again) (As with CLI and engineering) that it is not good to become frustrated with a job that I work alone at. (ie: my Census job) Because then when the going gets really tough, and I try to take people’s advice and it doesn’t work - then who do I turn to? I just keep thinking “but they don’t know what it’s like - there’s only so much I can do”. I’m at a point with this census job where my improvements are not going to increase my pay substantially. Perhaps one next step is to actually lower the quality of my work (like not visiting a respondent’s house more than four times - because I’m actually not paid to do that - 3 visits, max! - I should talk to my supervisor about this.) My brother tries to help me out - but if he were actually doing the job, then he would see that improvements in efficiency are not easy. Anyway, I need to go to bed - it’s an early morning tomorrow.
