Weekly Update and Pool Info
I'm running a pool for this week's half price sale in Polychrome Heroics. Ng_moonmoth has joined me, and we have 4 targets we'd like to get; the first two poems in the Trichromatic Attachments thread, and the two Mercedes poems. If anyone wants to join in, every little bit helps, and you can comment here or message me if you have any questions.
This week has been okay. I've been feeling a lot better, I managed to get back on track (mostly) with my new year's goals, and I finished my downstairs puzzle, so I have one goal fully finished! I'm hoping to continue this into next week and keep the momentum going. I've been doing snowflake as well, and I'm only two challenges behind, which I should be able to catch up with very soon. Over this weekend, I'm going to look for crowdfunding projects to nominate for the Rose & Bay Awards. Check out the![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)

Work sucked today. I had to change over a machine that I'm not comfortable with with very little training. I have never learned well this way; I need step by step instructions, with explanations and demonstrations, and then probably watching and assisting 2 - 10 times to build up my comfort and confidence before doing it myself. What happened today, it just frustrates and upsets and overwhelms me, and then I spend the whole time trting not to snap at someone or break down crying. I *hate* having to learn as I go, and it's a very stressful way for me to learn. The only exception to this is if I have all the time in the world, can make as many mistakes or trials as I want, it's something I want to learn or try, and where it doesn't matter if I succeed or fail or if the results are less than perfect. None of that applies at work, so it's miserable for me, and probably doesn't yield the best results; it sure as hell doesn't yield *fast* results.
