I've worked since I left school, as I then moved out from home. Started studying correspondence and am now just about complete. I have been lucky in my last 2 jobs that I do kind of get left alone to do my own thing. As long as over a period of time I do produce enough work and when someone requires some urgent feedback, I can deliver.
I also battle with colleagues, and I get very frustrated with most of them after a while. I have a new colleague who does the same job as me, and because he has been in the company for longer, feels the need to "mother" me. He checks up on me, gives me small tasks... It's a matter of time before we have a fall-out, as I really cannot be told what to do when - I always have about 4 Excel documents, 2 e-mails, 2 Word documents... open at the same time and I swap between them as my concentration wanes. At the end of the day, they are all completed though.
