Thanks Guys! My big problem is "Hurry UP". I am a customer service/sales enginneer and the warranty manager for my company. We mfg complex control systems for the crane industry and when a customer has a problem it can cost them thousands of dollars for every hour they are down. I don't have alot of "huge" emergencies, however the ones I have had have given me a Pavlovian response to the phone. It rings and my heart skips!
Lately I have been telling myself before I pick up the phone "Cory, whatever is on the other end of the line, you can handle it". That has helped, but days like today when There are 5 or 6 different things that Have got to get done today, I get hurried and instead of taking it one thing at a time I freak! I do them all at once. They always get done and I do a great job, but I just can't seem to take it slow and do it one at a time.
I have the same pattern at home on stuff I do around the house, but not as severe.
Another big problem that hurts the "hurry up" is when I get into a situation that I don't know how to solve. It is very frustrating and difficult. I do the best I can, but it gets scarry when I have doubts.
Alot of my deadlines are self-impossed. I am sorry for the rambling, but I just wanted to give a little background.
I am sorry for all the whinning and freaking out, but it just seems to help to know that I am not "crazy" and that what I am dealing with can be treated and lived with.
