Re: Should I or shouldn't I?

I like your suggestions, Mordillo. I have always assumed that I cannot mess up, that I have to be some sort of Superman. This has come from decades of damage caused by disappointing people.

But here’s the problem as I see it.

The first is that I have a great deal of difficulty absorbing all of the information required of a task. I miss important details and find myself with egg on my face because I misunderstood (this happened frequently at my previous jobs. It has not happened yet at my new job, though it has come close). So impatience leads to misinformation, which leaves me flat footed at an important juncture.

The other is that yes, I’m disorganized, again because of impatience and impulsiveness. I make assumptions and don’t plan carefully and sometimes paint myself into a corner. So I have to scramble because reality does not match up with my assumptions.

I guess the bottom line is that I cannot ask for assistance until I have a better understanding of what I’m doing to get in my own way and what is needed to fix it.
