*Stress*
Seriously, this job is so frustrating. I must be absolutely stupid, because I try so hard to understand their computer system for storage and their file tranfser portal but it is everchanging and beyond me. I never thought I was this bad with computers until I started here.
I don't think it's just me though, because some other people are confused as well, but they say they don't try to terribly hard to understand it. I HAVE to understand it because I'm the one making the modifications that no one else is allowed to make. As a result no one can really explain it to me; they just explain it as far as they know it. I wonder if I'm not just as intuitive as they are and they just don't feel like explaining it. Either way, I can hardly get any work done as a result.
My boss just came to talk to me. He apologized for the computer and seems to be really frustrated with it, too. I didn't want to make a big deal out of any of the computer stuff to him; in reality it's not a big deal, I've just been frustrated today with everything going on with work lately and I want to be good at my job. I've only been here a month though. Nobody's made me feel like I'm doing a bad job. I just haven't ben given much to do. Still, I seriously do nothing most the day and get paid and I feel like such a mooch on the company. Oh well, at least I'm not wasting your tax dollars!
I realize that I my recent post may make me come across as a pretty negative person. I'm trying to help to fix that, but I mainly use my journal to get things off my chest these days. They're also boring posts, and I won't argue with that. I'm a fairly boring person.
Regardless, the Fourth of July is creeping up and I'm excited. It used to be my favorite holiday (currently tied between Halloween and Christmas) but this is my first year it's also a paid holiday for me. Woo! Trey and I are either going to Beerfest with friends in Seattle or going for some romantic car camping on a hill so we can see fireworks from all over the Puget Sound. It should be awesome.
