Nobody ever said life was going to be easy right. Life is full of stresses and we must learn how to properly deal with them in order to get through the day. It's called staying positive, thinking things through and well, keeping on pushing forward with each new day that arrives.
For me, the recent stresses at my job have been enough to make me crazy. I'm a very organized person. I love having a clean well organized desk and getting tasks done fast and efficiently like I always do. Doesn't matter the job or task, I learn quickly and work well with all. So when my desk piles up and continues to not get any smaller and I feel as if I'm getting nothing done, my OCD starts to kick in and I get very overwhelmed and stressed and bothered by the whole ordeal. Here this past month at my job this has been my situation. Where I work, I actually have two job functions. My own job function and the one of another employee that recently left. Both job functions literally take a lot to get everything done so I'm expected to still work both and get both completed just as fast and efficiently as I was with just one. You see, this new job function that became mine as well, I'm the only one who knows how to do it. And that particular job function is the most time consuming and most hectic of all. Honestly I think with the end of the year everyone wants everything finished which is fine but because of it they call and call and call again in order to check the status of their request. What they fail to realize is that when they do this, they hold up the entire process.
Friday, I have over 400 requests for subordination's. I have to process 20 a day which when people call all day about it you don't get any where close to 20 completed. Not only that but you have to have all documents in order to complete it in the first place which means when they don't have it you have to make phone calls and send e-mails. All of that takes time. So when 5 different people call on one single account, it kind of holds you up on getting anything done and so instead of finishing what you were working on and getting to the next one, you get absolutely nothing done. That's what has been happening with the end of the year requests coming in. They continue to come in while others continue to not get done. So here's to the end of the year. Tons of work! But you know what? I love my job! I love the people I work with. I love what I do. Sure I loved my last job too but I love all jobs really! I love knowing things and learning and being good at the things that I do. So here's to the holidays and actually having a job. But man at the stress it brings with it sometimes.
For now, this is all I have to say. Ok well, not all but all I will say for now as it's late and well...a certain someone is back home to raise hell. Happy Holidays to all!
