11:  Dependent on others

Today when I came to work I thought I had some things I needed to respond to and take care of. It turns out I had nothing waiting for me here. It makes it very hard for me to produce, some of the things that I need to, in order to stay on track. I am dependent on other people in my work and in order to make my days and my workflow as smooth as possible they have to respond to the things I send them. Today I had set a goal to have talked to the programmer that is making our new website, and to have made some plans with him about when the website should be done. But he does not respond to my emails, or other efforts to contact him.

It is hard to be productive at work when most of what I do is dependent on the responses and the productivity of other people. It feels useless to have goals that are so completely dependent on others that the work I do does not even help me reach them. I am also constantly in a bad mood because of this lack of faith that I can place on people  to do their job.

I’ll just have to try to contact the people I need for my work, even harder, I am not sure that this will help however. People tend not to appreciate when you hunt them down regularly. I just have to be aware that sometimes it can be really hard reaching a goal if it is a goal completely dependent on other people.
