Another issue I had at work today was that my day felt really unsuccessful and unproductive
I got completely stuck on a task and didn’t manage to finish anything. This was already my third full day working on it, and I’m starting to feel a bit unsure about my situation with my team lead. He might ask me, “Where are your results?”, and although I do have some progress, I’m not confident in it. The task itself is quite specific and involves working with a Google API, which makes it more challenging. Honestly, it made me feel a bit down. Just yesterday, our CEO was talking about productivity, and today mine was extremely low. That didn’t make me feel good at all—if anything, it made me stressed and annoyed.
I also had issues with my VPN connection, especially on my laptop. It was really weird because everything worked fine on my phone, but on my laptop nothing was working properly. In the end, I switched to my work VPN. Fortunately, it worked, but the speed was quite slow. I noticed it the most while working and listening to podcasts on YouTube—everything kept buffering and pausing, which was pretty frustrating. Other services were also slower than usual compared to my personal VPN.
My next work issue was that I felt my day was unsuccessful and unproductive
I got stuck on my work task, and during the day I couldn't complete anything. This day was my third full day that I did that task, and I already have some doubts about my team lead. Because he can ask me, Where are your task results?. However, I have some results, but I'm not sure about them. Because that task is a bit specific and related to the API that integrates with Google. I think it's a bit sad, because only yesterday our CEO talked about productivity, and today I have it extremely low. Of course it didn't make me happy; on the contrary, it made me stressed and annoying.
Also, I had issues with my VPN connection, especially on my laptop. It was so strange, because on my phone everything was okay, but when I used it on my laptop, nothing was working. Instead, I started using my own work VPN. Fortunately it worked, but it wasn't fast enough. I felt it especially during my work when I played podcasts on YouTube. So each podcast was paused during the play, which also brought me some unpleasant feelings. Except for YouTube, I used other services, and they also worked a little slower than my own private VPN.
