I've been trying to convey what I need from my employers for a long time. I tried Friday and got a very negative response which made me too agitated to settle down for a good while.
I tried today, well at any rate, I tried something. And I sort of got what I wanted. That is, I've been trying to express my difficulty in balancing the demands of multiple bosses, and wanted to have someone help me prioritize, filter, etc. I'd gone through the boss I wanted to do it, the one I wouldn't mind having done it, and I didn't bother asking the one who was too busy to do it. So I finally, with nowhere left to turn, approached the boss who no one in their right mind would want to do it, and he was happy to oblige. It says a lot about how badly I think I need this that I would be willing to put myself under the direct control of someone who can be... difficult to please.
He usually is very nice to me, though. It might possibly end up ok. I think he mostly respects me. And he knows I get upset easily and have the tendency to cry. So he is generally nice with me.
Anyway, I took some Risperdal and will hopefully calm down my skitterish nerves enough to focus very soon.
