Deadlines and work


Guest

297 views

I'm under all sorts of deadlines in the next week. I look at Monday on my calendar and start getting nervous! I'm in meetings all day with two proposals due for Tuesday. I have two donor walls to complete and one more that has to be designed by next week.

And I'm SO disorganized, I can't even find my desk. My short term memory is worthless, so I have no idea HOW to do what I've always done. Jerry bought a new coffee maker - a perkolater. And I can't remember how the freaking thing works and he's taught me every morning this week! And these people are trusting me with their donor recognition!? I've spent three hours -3- trying to figure out the sheer weight of some bronze castings on 1/2 thick acrylic panels. If I'm right the Alzheimers Association will have a stunning donor wall! If I'm wrong - the damn thing is going to weigh 12,000 lbs. and tear down the entry way wall. Why am I doing this? I should take a job bagging groceries, where you don't have to think, or meet anyone's expectations. It's too damn bad that I'm too young to be a greeter at Walmart!

vicki, i TOO am under GREAT pressure at work. although everyone KNOWS about my stroke and KNOWS about my memory loss and how it takes me TWICE time to do HALF the work, they STILL expect me to perform as usual. not so much at first, but it has been 14 months and i guess everyone thinks i'm just honky dory now!!!!!! it's MADDENING!!!!
