Struggling with professionalism

Career & Professional Development :Jerb:

I clerk in a civil trial court. When I took the job it was going to be criminal/drug court but the judge moved to civil. I have a learning disability and have never been the most conscientious person despite being good at legal reasoning (per law school/bar exam). I hate taking phone calls from lawyer’s offices and getting yelled at over the judge’s policies, I hate scheduling things, I hate keeping track of paper file etc. I hate having to send people notices. I understand that it’s easier than complex legal analysis for most people but I’m at least ok at legal analysis and terrible at admin stuff. Unsure what to do. Quit law maybe?
