time to vent
you know, in job interviews and they as you "what is one of your biggest weaknesses?", and you're supposed to come up with something smart that, when you look at it another way, it's actually a positive?
Yeah, I can never come up with one of those.
I bring this up, because right now I'm in the middle of evaluating my current position and everything I do, and basically telling my boss what I would prefer not to continue doing and see if that equate to enough stuff to justify a new hire.
The thing of it is, that while I am completely overwhelmed at my job, I do enjoy 95% of what I do (at least 85% of the time), and the rest of the things (and time) I would rather not pass it off to someone else, because at least then I know it was done right (ie: the way I want it done).
I'm pretty sure my boss wants me to become more of a manager, but I feel like my inability/unwillingness to delegate would make a horrible micro-manager, and that is definitely something I do not want.
And then, AND THEN...I really don't know. Everything is just stressing me out, and there is really just not enough hours in the day for me to get everything done that needs to be done, and still have time to y'know, eat and sleep and see the person/animal I live with.
Grrr.
