Day 41 SMast.
Day 27 Ultra Mot
I pissed off my boss today; she says I'm lacking "common sense" in certain regards. I didn't fulfill a certain task. She was much more personable after our foible. This is of course, partly my fault, and partly hers.
Mine, because I've neglected the self-responsibility to begin a new task; I assume that someone else has turned that rug on its side for a very good reason, for instance, so I don't place it back. I'm realizing that everyone thinks like me in this respect, so things don't get done.
Hers, because she hasn't and doesn't make it completely clear what my responsibilities are (more-so now). In addition, she's loose in her language such that I can hear a point of instruction and interpret it in three different ways, to which I need to ask clarifying questions. In fact, she's contradicted herself in her instructions, and wouldn't admit to it even if I brought that issue to her attention. I tend to be pretty literal in how I interpret peoples' speech, so this has been a bit of a challenge.
But I could interpret this lack in "common sense" issue as my inability to infer (mind-read) my responsibilities based off of passing and desultory comments. Enough said; I'm reassured that this line of work is not my future, so I should make haste to find an income which involves more lucid management.
Btw, am I speaking too formally? I actually like writing in this way; I find that it helps me keep my thoughts organized, and speaks well on my behalf (it translates well from my brain onto the page).
