re: Work skills

A lovely skybox this morning, big and purple, with the sun sending a bright orange spear of glowing light into the sky off in the distance. I am going to miss these sunrises on my next shift. Now it has clouded over and has been snowing steadily, so everything is crisp and white in that lovely way that is very easy to appreciate from inside with your space heater in your plastic Covid work terrarium.

I want to go home and watch BTE and eat too much pasta, but that is still far in my future, past the hurdle of month end. I'm so tired, but the end is in sight.

28. What about your personality makes you good at your job?

Attention to detail? A preference for paperwork over people? Those are probably the big ones, this job is just eight million fiddly little tasks all stapled together into an agglomerated mass of decades of bureaucracy in between handing people car keys and receiving extremely oily and grubby documents. I was gonna mention my willingness to just fuck around and kill time with podcasts and reading, but that's more about what makes the job bearable to me, not what actually makes me good at it. But I am good at it (hence why they put up with all of the slacking off)! Oh, also the fact that I've worked shitty customer service jobs for my entire life helps, since that's definitely just a muscle that you develop with time if you're not born outgoing.

I think my poinsettia is finally dying. We had a good run, buddy.
