This has been the most creative I've been in months!
134lb
Really I love to bounce between 130 to 135. With the warmer weather (in theory) approaching I'd like to believe that I'll be more active.
*******************
So what did I do today at work, besides entering a frack-ton of orders? I made a colorful little "how to" booklet detailing one particular function in this job with screen shots and arrows for my new co-worker (can I still call her new if it's been over 6 months?) who is still having so much trouble that she's drawing a blank on the simplest things (I fear for true explosions happening).
As I stayed late after work yesterday watching her struggle with an issue that I've taught her how to handle at least 10 times and watched her look through all her chicken scratch notes or staring blankly at the computer screen I was internally banging my head against the wall. Yes, I could have just done it for her or talked it through it but I was overseeing her to see if she could figure it out. Come on! It's been 6 months! Finally after talking her through it (yet again) I decided since she is a disorganized mess and it doesn't help if every time I show/teach her how to do something that she takes notes she can never find/use that I'd made a freaking cheat sheet for her.
Boss Lady wondering if there truly was an issue stopped by to see what was up last night. I said it was minor and that it was taken care of but today she called me into her office wanting to know more about it (was it really something minor or was there something going on with new coworker) and share her concerns that new coworker wasn't getting it. I told her my plan for the cheat sheet (and eventually make other ones) and she said to try that and she see if she needed to schedule yet more training for NCW.
But as we are planning on changing our system by the end of the year (making this cheat sheet useless) Boss Lady worries that NCW will not be able to keep up as she is a disorganized frazzled mess (that was my wording but Boss Lady agreed).
Once again I hate former co-worker for abandoning to me to Chicago!
Hmm, I think I'll send her a text right now telling her again how much I hate her. :)
And for crying out loud, I'd like to take a Friday off on occasion or not worry that I'm calling in sick leaving NCW in the office alone. As other co-worker is only in the office Monday-Wednesday it makes things difficult tht NCW can't be trusted to function if something goes even minorly out of whack.
