ANALYSIS:”26 to 30: Severe Stress: You may still be coping, but life at work can sometimes be miserable. You might benefit from counseling.”
This is the result of a quiz I took online after I read this article: Be smarter at work, slack off. Something I have been secretly visualizing at work for four years now. Visualizing when I have time. As IF!!! … I visualize on the way home, or on the way to work. Hardly ever during, from the moments that I clock in and out, I don’t think about work while I’m being paid for working. I have no time. I’m too distracted with a thousand little things, with helping everyone. I don’t have time to think of better ways to make ‘helping everyone’ more efficient. And I’m not being paid to do that kind of thinking outside of work. Where’s the motivation? Where’s the incentive?
My FREAKIN’ Sanity! That’s the incentive.
I’m not a super genius; I’m not putting rockets into orbit or anything. I last tested at 135 IQ once (and I’m afraid to retest - risking a lower score), which isn’t Isaac Newton, but I’m not Rain Man either. I have ideas. Good ones. Things that will help everyone, save money, make more money. They aren’t fanatical either; they’re born of common sense. I just don’t have time to formulate them while doing 30 different things at a time. All the little things are wasting me.
Can you tell I’m having a little career burnout?
But I have responsibilities … I have children to feed.
Must drive on.
