Is it the sales or the templating that you don't look forward to? When I started my career there was a point where they put me out there making decisions that had dollar implications that spooked me. I guess I did not feel qualified, and feared I would screw up and cost the company big money. It never happened. I made mistakes, as we all do, but learned to not beat myself up and get down to the work of making it right quickly. Eventually I was able to look at myself as competent, no, excellent, at what they were asking me to do. You will get there, and you will get there faster if you start giving yourself a pat on the back for everything that goes right.
Sales is another thing, I would think that countertop sales is a design job more than anything, help people find what they really want, and they will be happy working with you. I tried car sales for about an hour when I was young. Glad I didn't continue. Nothing in my personality was OK with any of that.
"I absolutely cannot stand people having a low opinion of me or failing. I am sure there is a clinical name for that."Actually the part I dread the most is doing something wrong and disappointing my boss.
I guess it's a pride thing in a way. I absolutely cannot stand people having a low opinion of me or failing.
I am sure there is a clinical name for that.
The job itself is actually pretty easy and like I said I get to do lots of driving in the mountains.
6 hours of it on Monday.
Part of is also I am used to doing things at which I am an expert.. to be the new guy who knows nothing is harder than the actual work..
On a good note, I just found out our car has been paid off for 18 months and the bank that was carrying the loan was just dumping the payments into a saving account.... they are sending me a check for $5300..
I've never paid full retail for a new high end fly rod, but I might just go shopping.. and Montana is next week..
That's what I was wondering as I was walking out to the van...Where's mama?

This is one reason medications can be very tricky. A doctor explained it to me this way:Yes. And work with a real professional. My general was prescribing the normal stuff, just trying to find the right med. On one I tried committing suicide twice.
So glad that you are still with us, Tom!Yes. And work with a real professional. My general was prescribing the normal stuff, just trying to find the right med. On one I tried committing suicide twice. It was after meeting a great doctor at Lourdes that I got on track.
Glad to be with you all, seriously.So glad that you are still with us, Tom!
Just curious if this happens to anyone else..
I wake up every morning and dred going to work. Depression, unhappiness and lethargic.. but I get to work and start doing my job and all is good. What's up with that??
Yup, I agree.. That's nature tellling you that you need a change. Maybe try and change your routine so it's different every morning. It may not be the work itself but the routine you put yourself threw every morning that needs to get changed. Variety is the spice of life..It means you are ready for change and a new challenge.
Perhaps you're in the wrong career if that's how you feel. Ask yourself what makes you the most happy and look for opportunities in that direction. I thought you were a fishing guide, did that not pan out any more..I was hired as a salesperson for stone counter tops, but because of the company's needs I am doing digital templating in people's houses.
If I screw up thousands of dollars of stone and labor and therefore money go up in smoke.
Lots of pressure for a stupid old fisherman.
Not much pressure to most other people I suppose but for me it's not easy.
This is true for a number of antidepressants. Generally, the danger period is the first 2 weeks or so. It's a real danger especially with teenagers. The antidepressants that most commonly are associated with suicide get "black box" warnings. Any medical professional should let you know the potential. The reason seems to be that the drugs give people the energy to act on the negative thoughts that they have been having.This is one reason medications can be very tricky. A doctor explained it to me this way:
A person with suicidal thoughts may not follow through if he or she is so depressed they just don't have the mental energy. But when they first begin taking an antidepressant, before the medication has had a chance to improve mood, their energy level may be activated enough to make them capable of actually commiting suicide.
