okay, not to much work done today...but i did meet a friend for lunch, which was a pleasant surprise. we haven't met in a while and it was nice to catch up. i am only working a few days a week so i have 2-3 week days to play around, and then usually 2-3 days to be at the office, depending upon how busy we are. this type of work i'm doing is interesting and i like it, and maybe one day i will be very good at it. i just cannot get used to the intense, boot camp style, this type of work is thrown at me and the pace in which i am expected to be doing it in. and then there are some questionable breaks i'm sent on, and the reticule that gets unleashed on me at times.sometimes i just stop listening, as if i am deaf and cannot hear, or i just pretend to be listening, like a kid....;-)! the biggest trouble is i am just learning this type of work and the person i am helping has been doing this complex work for over 25 years. and i do not have reference manual to help me. i do try to take notes, but the speed at which i am trying to comprehend things is at warp speed and i can only write in normal handwriting speed, which is also criticised. i mean who takes notes in perfect handwriting??? the work is very precise and very time consuming and i have to have complete focus when i am preparing documents and it is impossible for me to concentrate when i am interrupted 2000 times a day.and for some reason there is always something more for me to do as i am trying to leave the office. my commute is an hour and if i do not leave at a certain time, i am stuck in traffic all the way home. i am grateful to have this job and i am learning, but i leave with a headache everyday and it's not always because of the work. i hope one day to be able to have a more relaxed job, but for now i will suck it up and go in and take the insults with a grain of salt and do my best, but i promised myself as soon as something better comes my way...i ..am.. out.. of.. there...
