Frazzled · 3:52am Sep 15th, 2019
I can't lie, and while I feel bad about it, my new position at work has me completely overworked and frazzled. I can't do anything but get a breather on breaks, and after work each day I just don't want to do anything. On the weekend, I do have things I do, but it's just very... brain off.
I really hope I can get back into where I was after EFNW just before I took the new position.
Jesus Christ this is a fucking mood. I know for me, part of the problem is they have this idea that I have to have enough time to completely finish a task and so I never start it rather than just breaking up tasks into manageable pieces.

At my work, it's just nonstop for the whole time I am there. There's no real break. I take phone calls, and it's literally that once I finish with one abusive customer, I am on to the next, and they are just as abusive.
I get paid a lot. More than I have ever made in my life, which I guess is how it goes if you're succeeding, but I just wish I could do something I enjoy. I am damn good at what I do, but it's not enjoyable. I am so glad I have the next two days in a mentor role and only have to help other reps rather than be a rep.
Oof. It's the same with me, though at least I don't have to be on the phone as much. Even reading new chapters of stories I'm tracking sometimes has to wait a few days if they're longer than a few thousand words.

Thanks to you and Supertramp up there for commenting. I am enjoying my time as a mentor. I've been trying to think positively and move my mind back to thoughts about TCOL to be honest. There is more downtime and I just got my laptop back up. If I bring it with me and use it for brainstorming on breaks, maybe it'll inspire me to where I can feel able to do writing after work.
