Monday: Walk 1.2 miles, weights 20 minutes, meditate 10 minutes
I started my day with learning about an editing mistake I made last week, and that is a CRAPPY way to kick off the workweek. I know logically that I can’t be 100% perfect all the time, but that is still my expectation for myself—as well as the general expectation of my clients—and it’s the one thing I ABSOLUTELY HATE about my job.
Just to be clear, I really like editing and I really like working from home and I really like my clients. But it is so annoying and frustrating to have a job where the standard is perfection. I mean, I know I’m not a brain surgeon and there was nothing on the line here but…a typo…on the internet. Still if anyone knows of an editing gig where people are looking for about 90% accuracy, would you let me know?
Because in grade school I got used to seeing “exceeds expectations” on my report card, and that is literally impossible in my current job.
