Game Not Got

Well, I thought I was doing well with this new assignment, but my colleague who's trying to hand it off to me so she can get on with her new position is becoming increasingly frustrated with me. It's just not a good week, a fair number of my 10 other partners and MDs need me for things this week and I'm having massive trouble juggling. She even involved a third EA colleague, someone else I've known for over a decade, who informed her that I "have trouble reading people and reading between the lines," which was news to me but, I suppose, a needed ego-buster. My self-perception still needs work, I guess. I thought I was getting fairly good at reading others, even in this mostly-online-chat age. But I keep reminding myself that this too shall pass, and after tomorrow when my folks' immediate transactional needs are met I can once again concentrate on this new stuff. I just wish it, and various body issues (blurriness in my right eye that my ophthalmologist who examined me last week said is probably dryness, and of course the lingering issues with the side of my big toe), didn't complicate things so.
