work trouble

[quietann]

I've been futzing around too much at work, and my supervisor has noticed. Less internet, fewer long phone calls to Ben, etc. are required. Weekly meetings and deadlines (which I need anyway; I need externally-imposed structure, moreso as I grow older...)

Now I can get all defensive and say that *if* they'd given me enough work from the very beginning, I wouldn't have fallen down the Net-hole.

The key is not to spiral downward... when stuff like this has happened in the past, it has been the beginning of the end of every job I've ever had.

Back to SAS. Need to be more engaged. I am... Bored. Mad. Embarassed. Shamed....

well, you've been pretty clear that there wasn't enough work yet to keep you busy (and i assume you were just as clear with them...)
Now they can get you enough, and a (realistic, i assume) schedule of deadlines too!

You'll probably like the job more that way anyway...

indeed this is the case. I think part of the problem is that I did develop soem bad habits while waiting for more work, and now I have (some) more work and am not very efficient about it. Denise says she will try to be more clear about deadlines with me (which I really need...)

it's lunch, BTW :)
