oooooooooo i am in organizing mode!

Just catching up, well that's your first week under your belt @maria, that's always a nice feeling in a new job.

Have you got the weekend off? Take it easy if so

 

@SharonL i have but............. i am sat here trying to work out whats going to work best because the way it is now its a 2 person job but i am doing it myself so i am exhausted! slept for 4 hours straight this afternoon after work. Its a brand new job role they are trying out so need my feedback which i gave them this afternoon so its back to the drawing board to see how to work it so to speak . Its teething problems we just need to try a few ways first sure it will be fine but i wont need a gym membership thats for sure!lol

 

Its funny you should say this @maria. Where I work we used to have 2 x full time admin staff but my workmate has emigrated to Oz recently. It doesn't quite warrant 2 x staff in fairness as I regularly used to travel to cover at other offices when there were 2 of us working there. But I have to confess I'm buzzing and loving the extra work since I've been on my own

One upside is you can really take ownership and pride in streamlining things (assuming you're given rein to do so) and really showing what you're capable of

But yeah, if it really is 2 people's workload, don't wear yourself out hun

 

well i have worked it out my way, still ridiculous though i seriously dont stop walking lifting bending pouring serving for 6 hours straight, i have to try and squeeze 15 minutes break which means rushing so seriously think this is a stepping stone job, i am already job searching again

 

Easier to find another job when you are already *in* a job
Take each day as it comes but don't be a door mat

 

Hope you're OK Maria,It is a very tiring job,I work in a nursing home too so know where you are coming from.Don't try and do it all yourself,if things have to be left then sobeit then they'll realise they need more staff,all the time you struggle on they'll let you and it's not fair on you

 

thanks guys x

 

Sounds like you are a grafter who takes pride in her work Maria
Easiest group to exploit in my humble opinion. as we self manage and guilt trip ourselves into the ground, we don't even afford employers the hassle of having to manage us into working harder.
Give yourself a break, take it a bit easier and look around at others, it's the employees, who tend to do just enough, but self promote and remind everyone that they have done it, that fair the best.
It's a lesson hard learned but if you can rein in a little and accept that what you (we) are doing is unlikely to have any great effect on mankind, we become happier, healthier, more appreciated and still 10% more productive than others lol!
Sermon over, from a end of career recovering grafter, taking each day as it comes lol!
Good luck!

 

i left yesterday feel a huge weight has lifted so back to job hunting. It was just impossible. i have a really good work ethic and have never done that before but i wont bore you with details just to say it was lots of things and just got too much.

 

Good luck with the job hunt Maria

 

Good luck with the job hunt Maria

 

God loves a trier @maria but if you were finding it a then you've probably made a sensible decision

Better luck next time, its all experience and knowledge gained
