Since I joined b3ta
I have developed an irrational fear of actually doing any work.

Damn you, b3ta!

it's okay
I think that's natural.

Have I mentioned how I hate my job today? Oh yes, I have. Thank you, b3ta, for stopping me from going postal.

Irrational?
Nope, sign of a well-adjusted and stable slacker.








Quack.

I don't have teh fear
as I know it will be realised each and every day that I have internet access. I can't fear that which I know to be true - I will never get any work done.


On the other hand, at least they can't sack me - I'm self-employed.

@Davros' Grandad
I'm with you on that - was placing an order last week while reading B3ta and screwed it up, costing the company a grand. Women were right all along, we can't multitask.

The right honourable crackhouseceilidhband
I have indeed read your comments that you hate your job today... and can totally sympathise having been stuck in a 'career' for longer than I'd wanted / anticipated before finally making the leap...

The trouble with regular employment is it becomes too 'safe' and familiar. And then you slowly start to lose your mind as you realise that the longer you stay there, the less likely it is that you will escape.




That's probably not helping is it? Sorry...

it's a whole barrel of trauma
and it's a pity there's no money in full-time b3ta participation.

If I could channel all my current stress into a financial venture I would use the proceedings to take you all to Vegas for a party.

I don't fear work....
I fear not being able to do my work fast enough to spend time on here. I actually came into work last Saturday because I'd spent too much time Friday afternoon chatting on here and didn't do a damn thing. Supplier payments had to be out early this week. Oooops!

sounds totally rational
I have always had the same thing, but it took b3ta to make me realise that this is normal and that just because I can be fired for it, doesnt make it wrong.....erm?
(Siouxfan I'm not staring at you, I am just short sighted, Mon 14 Apr 2008, 13:09, )

The thing is
I actually quite enjoy my job, so I feel really guilty about not doing it. Sometimes.

Ironically I worked from home on Friday and got about 4 times more done in a shorter space of time than I would have if I'd been in the office.

I'd love some work to do
but am terrified that by the time any comes along my brain will have atrophied and be as useful as a jelly in a dishwasher.

And the bad thing is, based on my lack of work, this is an entirely rational fear...

Missus
Yes - but that won't feel like work because I want to do it - it will be fun that I get paid for*

I'm already worrying - the decision about my funding is on the 16th June so I should fine out soon after that. If they say no, what with having quit my job, I am, possibly, screwed...

Ancrenne
Funding from where? (Professional curiosity, since I'm in that line of work anyway).
( Davros' Granddad Church of B3ta (QOTW denomination), Mon 14 Apr 2008, 13:29, )

Hey Davros
The co-op. Cos I am starting a workers co-op, and the co-op funds the development of co-ops.

er...http://www.co-operativemembership.coop/en/fund/

If you have any other suggestions please gaz me!
