ok i've been working for 2 hours now. i think that if i worked from home i could be more productive. there are fewer distractions. however, on days when i am tired, the bed would be distracting! it makes me feel like i am in school again, which is sort of fun. i think that i had to operate in the school mode for so many years, it seems natural to me to work like that. i also think i am more productive because the phone isn't ringing off the hook. i bet we could get a lot done if we didn't have to answer the phone calls of people asking i&r questions. i think we should hire someone to do just that. mental health treatment/support group i&r. or an information specialist. that way the person could mail any requested information to a caller. we are told that there is no more money to do these things. however, i think if a very resourceful person were in charge, they could find the money. Ok, the more i think about changes i could make at my agency, the more disgruntled i get. i better stop and fix myself some lunch!
