If I calculate the tax wrong on something, or forget to call someone about something, you'd think the world was coming to an end. It's not as bad as it was when I first started, over a year ago. but it's nearly every other day I'm screwing something stupid up.

and I was hurriedly trained, so I end up in an lot of situations where I have no idea what I'm supposed to do, so I just guess.

Now - I am ALWAYS harder on myself than anyone else is on me. I take everything personally, I worry about my mistakes, I mess something up and I convince myself I'll get fired. I hate messing up, even if I don't care much about the job.


OMG you sound exactly like me!!! Talk about underpaid- I only get paid a dollar more than my assistant who sits around and does nothing while I work! I was also hurriedly trained and I tend to do the same things as you mentioned. One day I will find something better and will make the amount of money that I deserve...but for now I just keep sinking further into debt while my boss seaches for his new million dollar home.
