Title: Why can't I focus on work today?
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on July 24, 2007, 05:26:55 PM: I am unable to focus on work today!

I finished my "on-the-ground" tasks for the day, leaving me with nothing but long-term planning, vision statements, and documentation to work on! Who can think more than 48 hours into the future! Everyone else is busy with stuff that doesn't affect me.

I have a big internal interview tomorrow for a possible promotion that I'm really worried about! I've never interviewed internally before and I'm kind of clueless how I should prepare, beyond a Healthy Breakfast.

I went out last weekend with this absolutely smoking girl who's--as I learned--is also a Narutard and Linkin Park fan. Do I have a future with a girl who keeps up with a dozen shonen anime at once?! Or IN THE END, IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER?

I'm just super out of it today. I have that magical aura of thought-procrastination, where you don't want to think about stuff so you just don't do anything to keep your mind an awesome blank.

KEEP ME DISTRACTED EVILBORE. DISTRACTED FROM THE ABYSS THAT IS MY LIFE.

On another note, I haven't gotten any f'n packing done today for my big move on Saturday. In fact, I haven't done ANY packing whatsoever. I'm not worried, though.

I've found the best way to handle internal interviews is to act like they are taking you away from your job.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on July 24, 2007, 05:38:34 PM: i was that way yesterday, patel. i was constantly spacing and could not focus for the life of me, and totally just glazed over on two separate occasions when coworkers tried to ask legitimate requests of me -- i just kinda sat in my office and went "buhhhhhhhhh" (well, a little more articulate than that, but not much) until they rolled their eyes and left. it was actually kinda irritating to have these sudden blank attacks. not sure what i can blame it on, outside of maybe exhaustion from chasing my daughter all over the company picnic on sunday.

Act like you just want to get back to your job. The job you're applying for.
