I am now in a much less demanding job and although I LOVE the lack of responsibility, I can't continue it forever due to the low pay. I like what you wrote about not being sure if your interpretation of above and beyond is the same as others. I am certain that my standards are FAR HIGHER than others. Something else to work on. :o)Pure O Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00100718316473616760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274820584620038108.post-55771523195712895342012-01-07T12:27:36.122-08:002012-01-07T12:27:36.122-08:00I love the last sentence of Lolly's comment:
...I love the last sentence of Lolly's comment:<br /><br />"With OCD you will constantly question yourself and wonder what your coworkers or boss are thinking, but in my experience, they aren't thinking anything... We're doing all of the thinking and it's making us exhausted!"<br /><br />This sums the situation up in a nutshell.....I hope it helps you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274820584620038108.post-68849250701081765732012-01-06T20:28:33.917-08:002012-01-06T20:28:33.917-08:00I too suffer from trying to achieve perfectionism ...I too suffer from trying to achieve perfectionism in work and trying to be the hero, the one with all the answers, the one who never says no. I have learned over the past year or so that it is OK to say no or to take a step back. I hold back daily from trying to accomplish everything in one day, I have learned to leave things be until tomorrow, which has been very hard for me and my usual hard working nature. With OCD you will constantly question yourself and wonder what your coworkers or boss are thinking, but in my experience, they aren't thinking anything... We're doing all of the thinking and it's making us exhausted!Lollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12226766984165807897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274820584620038108.post-30821663243082339672012-01-05T19:46:38.007-08:002012-01-05T19:46:38.007-08:00I have a hard time saying no at work, also.

Then I don't want to do anything extra, which isn't good either. Difficult to strike a balance, isn't it?Tina Fariss Barbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15659018994558471570noreply@blogger.com
