| Patience requires frequent breaks |
|
I learned today that I have little to no patience for teaching others something new. It's just not in me. Do I feel bad? Not really. At work today, I kept finding myself at the edge of crazytown. Lucky for me, I stopped for too many bathroom breaks - not because I had to go, but to keep my sanity. So I never really got to visit the town where many others frequently vacation. Then I decided to give myself some credit. Maybe it wasn't me, maybe it was him. I began to wonder if the person I was helping was maybe a few bricks short of a house (but enough for say....a nice shed?). This may sound very unkind to the poor fellow, but I am a firm believer that if you show up for work, then you should sit down and actually work. Just a thought. Don't get up and walk around for 45 minutes after you've taken your 30-minute lunch break, or spend the entire day working on one miniscule assignment. Especially when you work in a team sales environment. It's crazy enough as it is at work without having some half-there zombie floating around. I'm hoping the zombie will turn into a human being real soon. If I wear large headphones to work, ignore his questions and sit with my back to him then I might just escape another day of 100 questions. Questions that he should already know because I already answered them 5 times each.
