It is another Monday at the beginning of the month and that means a day of work and meetings inside of a week where my schedule is shot. I like to have a schedule and I like to know where I am going to be and when I have to be there. When my schedule gets shifted I start trying to still fit things in and it doesn’t work.
This past Friday was a disaster. This latest round of hiring is not off to a great start. We started a brief phone interview so that Lara could talk to the people as well, but it isn’t working. There is too much time between application, my message to them, the phone call, and setting up the interview. People expect all of this to be handled in a faster method and with how life is right now speed isn’t something we can offer.
It also doesn’t help that when I get attacked on all sides I just stop caring. It becomes just another thing we’re not going to get to. If I was in normal mode I would be asking about the emails we’ve gotten that haven’t been answered. They aren’t my department but them being answered impacts things and it takes four seconds to answer an email, and normally I do it when I see no one else has.
Like I said my caring is one of the first things that leaves. I get to feeling a little disrespected too. Like I have this schedule, we agreed this was the schedule, and then suddenly something is on someone else’s calendar and I can’t stick to my schedule because of all these other things.
I am in the middle of multiple time sensitive things and today ends up feeling both longer and shorter than it should, and there is so much else that just never gets done. There is too much to do for every facet of my life and I can’t get to any of it no matter how I arrange my time and then there are all the things I am not allowed to do because people don’t like my methods.
Those are all minor things. The major thing is I dedicate my time where it is needed. Today is one of those too much to do in 24 hour days and we will see where it goes.
