Day 249- Sick
Sick of this project now. My stupid face needs to go away.
Sick of my job. It wasn't the best to begin with, but our workload has drastically, permanently (and sloppily) increased with no pay increase, or even official recognition. And to top it off, so many people need to start later because they're going back to school, that I am the only person to start at the actual start of our shift. I start every day surrounded by work, panicking and stressed. Because of my recent promotion, I also have, on top of this, piles of paperwork. Some permanent, some because the woman who does client services for us is on medical leave and I'm filling in on some of her duties. But I have to try to do the paperwork during lulls, when we're caught up. Mostly because I would feel like an asshole if I left piles of samples to do paperwork. I'd be pissed if I were a patient, and my test results were delayed because someone was doing less important, but still necessary, paperwork instead. Every day, by my dinner break in the middle of the shift, I am on the verge of tears.
Also, I have a cold.
B and I are going backpacking in Glacier at the end of this month again. And then, for my birthday in September, I took a 5 day weekend to go to Minnesota with some friends. I am so excited to not be at work.
