Sigh...
Not enough sleep, and PMS, and... ok that's enough with the excuses!
Got into a thing with my boss today, he's not happy and neither am I. But neither of us are wrong either. We just need to work on our communication. It's been a long dreary summer, work-wise, and it's possible I've gotten a bit sloppy in the slowness. But I'm resolved to fix it, and work on keeping my focus.
After many years of doing a job that I was really good at, but was really boring, it's tough to hear I'm not measuring up. As soon as I get my ego back in it's cage, I'm going to use this as a learning opportunity, and be all the better for it.
RT says that I take my work very personally, and that's true. For a long time work was all I had, all I was good at. Now I have a much fuller, balanced life, but I still take my work very seriously. The problem is that I'm reliant on outside validation and approval, to justify my work. Must work on that, do my best, know that it's my best, and consider my own approval enough.
But for the moment, pass the wine...
