Crystal wonders what you fear about WORK.
February 24th 2008 01:55
Well, I've just done love and hate, I guess it's time for FEAR.
It's an awful word isn't it?
I hope that there is nothing that you fear about your home and I'm going to think about Fear and the workplace.
So what is it you fear about your work?
I don't fear being put off as I think it is most unlikely that that would happen and in the unlikely event it did I can afford to live anyway, but I think I would be able to find other work reasonably easily, having established myself as something of an expert in the field I'm in and one which does not have a political slant. It is purely technical and there are enough companies requiring my kind of expertise for me not to worry too much.
However, now that I have a better opinion of myself socially I am finding I am wanting to speak out more and more about the injustices women suffer at the hands of men. Many may think they are now equal but I see evidence every day that they are not and they are the ones who are suffering often not knowing just why.
Others, I feel sure, are acutely aware of it.
So, I guess my fears relate to wanting to have more of a voice and not complying with what a "boss" has to say about things, with me that person is 'faceache' and I've expressed my opinion about him before, having had a few small 'wins' but not too keen to push myself forward too much in case it backfires.
For the most part I am left to my own devices but there is still this resentment that gnaws away inside me.
What I REALLY fear is that one day I'll let my feelings be heard loud and clear and in a rather vitriolic way, to the point that my behaviour would be considered intolerably rude and if I weren't pushed out the door, I think humiliation would drive me out.
I don't think such an outburst as my reason for being dismissed or leaving hurriedly and unepectedly would sit well as a reference on my resume ( call it curriculum vitae, if you must). That for me would be very mortifying so I guess this is my fear in the workforce, I don't have any reason to fear any repercussions from my relationship with Andrew as has been inferred by others.
So what are your problems at work, or even in your self employed status if that description fits you more accurately.
Do you have serious issues, and do you have REAL FEARS.
Come on, be brave, tell us about them.

Also meeting deadlines was always a worry, though looking back, no one else seemed to bother much with getting things done on time, so I worried for nothing.

Rosemary, I know precisely how you feel, and it’s amazing what other people get away with when we worry so much, I think a lot of them don’t have much up top, but those who do end up picking up the flack, often with not much recognition and even less pay. I see it around me all the time.
Amy, fear of not being able to find work is a very real fear indeed.
Thank you all for your visit and comments.

It never helped though because now i have a job I LOVE taht I do on my laptop from anywhere I want and at anytimes i want doing proof reads. I still fear they want to let me go and I have been doing it since august.
I think it stems from everyone that has walked out of my life growing up. Now i walk out of friends lives when i think they are about to walk out of mine. Sad!!! Don't know how to stop it.
