Small Complaints
Sometimes I really don't like this job. When I applied for it the job title was volunteer coordinator. It turns out that it's actually an assistant position. I think I should sue them for false advertising. :) I went from running my own programs since college to ordering office supplies for my boss. The crazy thing is, I am actually getting paid more to be someone elses assistant than I was to run my own programs.
But....I am smarter than this. It was nice at first because I didn't have to think too much but now it's just plain, I don't know, not boring, but not quite right. It's not something I am going to quit for but I think I will keep my eye out for other jobs.
In addition to ordering office supplies, I have the glorious job of data entry. 5,000 freaking files need to be added to the brand new database. What kind of organization that goes through 1500 volunteers every year doesn't have an online database yet?! So, it's my job to enter all the hard files onto the system.
I've never been so happy.
I wish I could convince them to contract the position out to someone who enjoys data entry. There's nothing wrong with it, but I'm smarter than this. I know that I am. I am smarter than this job. But, it's a good paycheck.
Is this what selling out is?
