Under pressure

by libbysblog @ 22 May. 2008 - 07:28:14

I'm not coping very well at the moment. Don't get me wrong I am looking after myself - I'm washing, eating, turning up for work. However, I'm turning up for work at 7.30am and not leaving till afetr 6pm (it was 6.40pm before I actually left the office last night.

All I can say is that it's a good job I don't have a boyfriend. Given my current situation I wouldn't have been able to see him this week anyway. With cowbag leaving she's passed everything over to.... the old exec who is now a BD manager who is going to pass it all back to..... me. So why didn't cowbag just do that originally?

I'm not saying that I would have been able to get started on much of it but atleast I would have known what needs doing. Instead I'm still in the dark and know that once I've had a meeting with the old exec, the shit is going to hit the fan and I'm probably going to have a meltdown.

As it is I just want to curl up in bed and stay there. I have even had to cancel my holiday time tomorrow.

Not impressed!!! xx

I know this is a horrible worky type phrase, but you need to look at your "Work/Life balance".

Working yourself into a state of total stress is not going to help you at all. I know you can't avoid the work they give you but try going home at a reasonable time so you can unwind and relax.

That saying about "hard work never killed anybody" is actually bollocks by the way.

I went through a phase when i worked in Mental health and we were short staffed and wound up doing a lot of double shifts, i thought i was going to go mad and end up in as bad a state as the 'residents' i was caring for. Stuck it for eight years, in the end i had to get out.

I work in my dads adrt shop now, stress free (apart from some stroppy customers!!)

Relax, it's not going to last forever!

If you seriously want the cowbag's job then try to get through as much of it as you can within reasonable working hours, deligate appropriate stuff, and carry on until eveything is running smoothly.
You can do this, you've been working two jobs for a while now and been doing fine.
When you do get her work delegated to you, have a small chat about hours vs pay and your load will prob lighten!
