| | Does it seem to anyone else that doing something that doesn't naturally spring from the center of your soul for 40 hours every week just to pay to have electric is horrific and wrong? A crime against humanity even?
My ED suggested yesterday that I do more administrative work and (choke!) budget for the project I work on.
Now, I've typically taken on quite a bit of administrative stuff when it was needed, especially things I could view as big-picture "projects". But this new transition to me handling all left undone administratively... I actually don't think I can stomach.
I love my project and all it stands for, but I also understand my personality quite well and know that I need people and opportunities at creativity and brainstorming and project-goals and big picture stuff in order to feel happy and achieved at the end of each day. I am worried about how this will affect my ability to feel 100% there. I mean sometimes I guess we just muscle though things, but I don't think that that's the way to live 40 hours a week.
The good news is that, as I'm still healing, it would be quite nice to be able to work from home a bit and do some of this form developing etc, that I've been and will be working on. But whenever I do that I always worry that my immediate supervisory type person feels that I'm not being industrious, since she's pretty old school. I'm ready to be better, but I'm just not there, so obvious work to do outside of office would be quite nice, since I do a lot that doesn't show obvious immediate results all the time. Yet it has panned out to be quite a strong program because of those efforts and their "harvest" later on.
Urgh, adult life.
