A Day off
I get a day off, I get a day off ::jumping up and down with joy::. Okay, so my last public holiday WAS in June, but I've been too afraid to take a day off of work. Because of the amount of work that my job entails, and the lack of actual time in the day, it seems impossible to take a day off. When you take a day off of work, for yourself or a training, it's like coming back to more chaos.
I remember taking a day off in May I believe, and when I came back, I was about ready to pull my hair out. My job entails a lot of deadlines and a lot of dates which I have to meet. Is that the same thing?? ::smirks:: Nonetheless, I have to make sure that mail is actioned within 10 working day, phone calls are answered within 24 hours, that sort of thing. I'm already a week behind as it is, and when you miss one day, you come back with heaps more. It's really amazing, when you think about it, about how much work one actually does.
I find it difficult, because I have to work longer than the usual 7.36 hours. Because I work longer hours, I acrue "flexi" time. But if I don't use that flexi time within a month, I lose it. So in essence, I'm working overtime and not getting "paid." We don't get paid for overtime, though I am thinking they will be allowing some Saturday work, to have us catch up.
Our division of our corporation is going through some major changes. And we're adding another "team" to our division. Of course two of the new team members, are from my current team. We need to allocate their portfolios to the remaining team members. But yet, we all have our own portfolios. May was the highest number of orders we were given in the history of our corporation, and I think we're still paying for it.
But yes, I'm quite happy I get a day off on Monday. But am NOT looking forward to going back and seeing all the paperwork I have to catch up on. I have to realize, with this job, there is just NO WAY one can be "caught up."
