Today is one of the most F'd up days for me here at work. Sometimes I wonder why I bother to show up at all (yeah yeah, it's the almighty dollar that keeps me here).
I always seem to take on more than I can muster, it seems. Today is no exception. I've taken on more responsibility, and quite frankly, I'm not sure I want it.
I went from doing data entry, which anyone can do, to better things, at least better in a sense that it will look good on my resume if and when I ever leave here. The more you learn, the more you know. The more you know, the further you can go with your career.
I needed something that was challenging, so I moved on to recons because it's all about using the brain and making important decisions. While I still do the recons, I STILL needed more, so I went right ahead and asked for it. I was offered the back-up supervisor position on my team and I took it.
I'm just so disgusted because we are EXTREMELY short handed. My best bud on my team left for a job closer to his home on Friday, we lost someone for 2-3 weeks for a medical condiditon, and I was just informed that two of our best keyers gave their two week notices today.
All this makes for more and more work for me, which means more and more pressure, which I am feeling big time today. The big boss is on my case, and me be a defiant PITA because I can only do so much, am here typing my *** off instead.
Ok, I feel so much better now. Thanks for letting me vent.
