Work crap
Work kind of sucks at the moment.
I have all these interesting job that need to be done sometime soon, but am swamped by short term jobs. The person replacing me doesn’t start until Monday, and even then he probably won’t be doing much to start with. The other person with a similar job to me doesn’t seem to actually do much work, and instead spends all day making bloody farewell cards for people leaving, and dealing with computer issues. And my boss is away on leave for a couple of weeks.
I think I have some work separation anxiety as well. I’m happy to leave because it means being with Kristy, but am finding it hard to let go of some of the projects I have been working on over the last year. I don’t know if I want to let the new guy “mess” with “my” work! I know, it’s stupid.
I shouldn’t complain too much though, they are sending me to Head Office in two weeks for some training (even although I am leaving in like a month). However that means catching a 645am flight to Wellington and two days of dealing with the overall GIS boss who by all accounts is the epitome of muppet (not sure about the fur, but he definitely looks like he has the vacant gaze happening).
And I found out tonight that one of my friends is on $54,000 a year. That’s not bad for a first job straight out of University! But who would want to be a commerce slave (When you can work for understaffed and underfunded government conservation organisations that aren’t appreciated by the public because “we” are “only interested in locking land up to stop development”.)?
I love it. I really do. Just not today.
