Do you ever feel this way?
It's kind of been the story of my life for the past several months. It started with two weeks of training in Omaha to learn our business, continued as I wrote our business plan (Research paper anyone? Seriously I hadn't attempted to write anything that technical in well over a decade and it was the first time I'd written anything that actually mattered!), and the real clincher was today when I tried to learn a new software program that is pivotal to our business. Ouch!
I don't generally think of myself as a stupid person, but there are times lately when I'm starting to doubt whether this old dog is going to be able to learn new tricks.

Anything new takes time. You are so smart I am sure you will be able to learn anything you put your mind to. You are the type when life gives you lemon you make lemonaid. You will get it and I know you have plenty of people cheering you on.
I think I used to be smart- a long time ago.
Sounds like my brain felt after taking an AP test--something akin to cottage cheese.
You know how to use the word "pivotal" so I'm sure you'll be OK.
Sounds like you have a love hate relationship with the computer too!
Every time I try something new I'm sure I'll never do it again.
Hang in there. It will make sense someday.
go, go, go Sarah you know what they say...hey Sarah you'll make it okay....you are capable
Sarah, I wondered the same thing when I went back to work last year and had to delve into a number of new software applications. Just remember everything gets better with repetition and every mistake is a learning opportunity!
