One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that whenever I get a job, it seems as if I manage to impress them for say maybe the first month or so. But over time it seems like I always manage to lack in some way shape or form, no matter what my job happens to be.
I’ve had jobs in sales, education, and now in the social work field. I know God put me in my current field and I wanna be there as long as He wills, I just don’t want my own ineptitude or lack of work ethic to make it so I don’t do what He wants in His time frame.
I won’t lie, I’ve always had issues of taking too many sick days. It’s something that’s happened since I was a child, though back then it was for stomach aches and lactose intolerance that I didn’t know I had. Sadly in this case I think my attitude is wrong. My parents both worked in a giant company and had loads of sick time that they’d been able to carry over for multiple years. In anything I’ve been able to work in, that hasn’t been the case. So I think I’ve been trying to take an attitude towards “sickness” that hasn’t been realistic to my own situation...
I guess the whole point of it is, am I feeling the same things that other adults do with working? Or is this an OCD specific thing? (I have OCD so that may well be a very large part of the feeling)
