Whining, complaining...
Sep. 25th, 2022 08:48 pmYeah, that day was about what I anticipated. (With additional crap because the primary online support person went home sick, leaving me the only one doing it, WHILE having to deal with the class close.)
I was there until very nearly 6:30 (when I'm supposed to be done at 5:00.) Knowing I'd be there that late, I didn't want to make it later by delaying anything during the day, so I also didn't pause long enough to eat anything. I don't usually actually take a lunch break (because that DOES mean I'll have to stay late to finish things), but I probably should have eaten something, just because then I was late and HANGRY about it, ha.
Fingers crossed the driver who wants the extra support position has a good interview tomorrow, because having an extra person really would make a difference (again, assuming it's a person who DOES help, rather than just creating extra work for me to manage, lol.) But it's to the point where every weekend requires me staying super late and just having a miserable fucking time of it.
It's that much more frustrating that I have to put in extra hours, yet that still only has me clearing the absolute bare minimum "shit probably won't utterly fall apart" bar... Even being very good at my job, there is only so much I can do in a day, and it frustrates me that we're three times as busy as we were six months ago, and it's expected that I can just do three times the work in the same amount of time.
To be fair, that's partially my OWN pressure, and my manager has said that it's fine if I have to leave things undone, and that he'll do them on Mon/Tues... except he often doesn't. So then I get in on Wednesday and no reminders went out to students, no paperwork was pulled for instructors, etc. So while I'm told it's "fine" to only get as much done as possible... anything I don't do won't get done at all, and it creates more work for me later.
UGH. Mostly I like my job, but there are days like this I really fucking wish I didn't have to work.
