Arrruh.... huh-hu-hu...
Things are getting to me today.... Can't cope well.
It just seems to be piling up. My job is generally a very non-stressful one, but today things are just bad. Not awful, but bad.
I seem to have caused a minor rukus over closing at the Library last Friday, which was my fault, but for all the best reasons.
Then I try to submit a report that has to be done each Monday, and as I don't work Mondays generally (I am filling in for a sick staffer) I try to do it nice and early. But I fail to fill out one of the fields, so it doesn't go through. No problem, I fill out the missing field. Unfortunately it re-sets to the default sender, so it doesn't flag as coming from me, and the boss can't find it.
Emails fly, panic and confusion reign for several minutes, and people end up figuring it all out, but extra effort has had to be exerted.
On top of which, there is only one printer working here, when there should be two, (despite the fact that there are three of the damn things here: one of them hasn't been set up yet, it has simply sat there for six weeks). Not knowing the score with these things means that I have to send e-mails asking what is going on.
Of course I get emails back telling me I am asking the wrong person, but wanting to know what the problem is anyway....
Then there is the damn computer that isn't working....
Things keep happening, and things keep piling up, and I can't check my emails often enough to make sure that I am doing stuff right, and I can't phone the boss and just sort it out because she is an 'e-office' person who would rather you just sent emails even if you are sitting one booth away, and I AM NOT that sort of person, I have good people skills, and find such behaviour cumbersome and confusing, and as a result I am actually geting stressed!
It's shitty stuff, and boring as all hell, but it is getting to me: I just seem to be a little jinxed here: things alway happen to me, and I always need to clarify the situation, and as a result I come across as an annoying little twit who needs his hand held.
And I don't need that when I am asking for more shifts, because I need the money.
I'm going to go for a walk and breathe deeply. Thank you for listening.
