Overload

Well, I am pretty overwhelmed and exhausted. The amount of information that is being poured over me is immense.

This facility is HUGE, and my new responsibilities are vast.

Fortunately, my trainer is off to Tulsa tomorrow and Monday, so I get a respite.

All I have to do is be able to put together a report by myself on those two mornings, provided I can remember how, and the rest will be observation.

The report I have to run, however, is crucial to a building-wide meeting that takes place EVERY DAY at 10. I have to present to 30 department heads.

I wrote down the step by steps, and just pray that it comes out right, and that I remember what I'm supposed to do with it!

Gawd.

My trainer is disorganized and scattered, so, while she's rambling on for hours non stop, there are papers strewn all over my desk, and her coffee container is over here, and her candy wrappers are over there, and her pen is here, and the stapler is there, and it's utter chaos.

I work much better when things are orderly. And she doesn't take breaks! I had to stop her today, and say "I'm sorry to interrupt, but I HAVE to eat!"

Then, today, she left while I was in a required education meeting, and when I came back to my office, her candy wrappers, and half empty pop cup from lunch were still on my desk!

That was just rude.

Anyway...I need a break from her, because, as stated above, she doesn't TAKE breaks...so I have spent nearly 17 solid hours with her over the past two days.

She probably needs time away from ME, too!
