What do you all do for a job

Sgt Romeo

Evening,

I had a completely rubbish day at work today.  I no longer want to be there.  I keep messing up really silly little things that I should be getting right first time.

I have no idea what I want to do as an alternative career (I've been a police officer for three years), so just wondered what everybody else does for work.

I'm still waiting for an official diagnosis but I'm convinced I have Aspergers, and it appears Aspergers & the police really don't mix!

Thanks,

Sgt R

  • Sorry guys, I hope my absence on this forum hasn't been taken as I've been offended.  The truth is I'm so busy that I haven't been able to check back on this as often as I've liked.

    I found out today that my real problem is coping with what numerous different people say to me.  Apparently there is more than one way to deal with things & that is what unsettles me.  I very nearly had a meltdown today over being told three different ways of dealing with a call, that resulted in me getting a dressing down, me & a colleague working an hour overtime & me being summonsed to see senior management tomorrow morning.

    I just can't cope with more than one way of doing my job.  But it seems nothing is done now to help me.  Last week I was on a unit where I knew exactly what to do, and I was comfortable with that.

    Also I received a new shift pattern today but it turns out I'm not going to that team.  Yet I had not been told either way by senior management whether I was going, and that has unsettled me.  I can't sleep at the moment even though I'm up in five hours.

    Has anybody else experienced similar in work?  I'm considering giving it all up to go to university but at 26, with my own home & a good wage, I'm worried about making the wrong decision.

    i just want a job that doesn't involve much important communication between colleagues.  Can anybody recommend anything?

    Thanks,
