One small step for hankind

[cybermule]

As far as I'm concerned, I'm being paid to spend 10 hours a day listening to Personal Jesus on my MP3 player. My hands pretty much work themselves these days.

Which is a sad inditement of the challenge I get from my work. Leading to a fairly reliable performance indicator of my error rate.

I can do it with my eyes closed and one hand tied behind my back, so I frequently do... just for kicks.

I've put in a formal warning to my line manager that I'm stressed. A big step for me. I've told my family that I can't cope any more, and they're broadly sympathetic.

I have three options, which will pan out over the next month or so.

So I'm chipping away at the oppressive block in my life.

Expressing your real thoughts to people who don't want to hear it is difficult. But sometimes it's not just a better choice, but a matter of survival :)

Thanks. I feel better for it - at least they can't say I didn't warn them!

It's never pleasant having to reveal your human vulnerabilities to a line manager. They're usually ill equipped to cope and it sends them into a panic. But that's because all of a sudden it's their problem and not yours any more. Feel that burden lifting! :)

Oooh... do tell! **curious**

LOL - I'll tell soon. I need to put the work in first!
