Sabotage 1515

I have no where else to vent my frustrations… thank you forum/ admin/ moderators.
My boss was at my job yesterday, he shows up every other month or so. I should be on my best behavior and working hard. But instead, my concentration was focused on things other than work. I work at sports venues and I had my eye on the game a lot (they show the game on monitors throughout the arena). I sabotaged myself and left a bad impression. My mind is elsewhere, I’m not present in the here and now. Gotta work on it, meditate more. I’ll do better next time I see him… avoid sabotaging myself.

don’t worry too much, it’s useless worrying after the damage. nexttime you will be performing well when your boss shows up.

What kind of job are you doing now? I’m wondering how you could handle the stress.

I work in promotions for the newspaper here in Southern California. I’m able to handle working in large part because I do not hear voices. Also, it is always a 4 hour shift per day so plenty of time to rest. Do you work?

No, I’m not working recent years. I used to be a university lecturer. After I was put on the antipsychotics I could no longer hold this job. But now I’m considering to be self-employed in the next five years.

It’s amazing to hear how the illness has affected our ability to be a contributing member of the community through work. Teaching at a university seems to be a well respected position… I’m sorry to hear of that loss. Self-employment is good for sz folk- work at your own pace and hours while doing something you are passionate about. Any idea what you’d like to do?

Not sure, just considering, such as running a shop selling supplements to aged people or selling children’s clothes. Or maybe just writing one or two good books for making profits. My thinking ability has been impaired also I got the fatigue from meds. But I 've been recovering very slowly in the past a few years so I hope my brain function will be near to normal people’s after another five year’s progress.
