I absolutely hated my job yesterday (and the day before). I mean….Really? Just one…more…thing…and you would have heard a “tink” just a tiny one….that would’ve been my last straw breaking.
image: work it daily
What really gets me going, is totally illogical DUMB decisions made by those “higher up” that makes absolutely NO SENSE, that effects you…only you.
For example. We are relocating my lab and office while my existing lab and office is demolished and just the lab rebuilt. My new office is currently occupied by another staff member who is moving to a Portacom building until their new office is ready (approx 10 months) and I will move my office into that space permanently. So here’s what I thought the plan was (to happen over the next month) bear with me……
Move the Lab…this will be for the next 5 months until the new one is built. (this is no mean feat)
Move the staff member currently in what will be my permanent office into the Portacom that will arrive in 2 weeks.
I will then move into my new office once they are moved out. Simple…I have a month to get this organized AND still keep up my 8 hours of work on schedule.
WRONG
I was given notice I had just two days to move !!! Frantically I got ready the place I was to move the lab into, packed up all the instruments, documents etc… carried all the gear over, unpacked and set up…all the while I had to do my usual workload . That was insane….but I did it! YAY Now I just had to wait another couple of weeks for the others to shift out and I could permanently move my office.
WRONG
I was given one day to pack up and move……into an interim office then move again in two weeks….all the while, I still had to keep up my output. Do you understand why I might be, oh I don’t know…a little stressed about now?
What actually happened today
What is going to happen in 2 weeks
Got that????
Me neither....but..there's good news-ish
Today I move my office but I’m not stressed. While I was sitting on the “Brink” I decided to have a mind change. Yes, it IS a decision you can make! I decided to let it go, adapt as best I could to the circumstances, BREATHE, and just get on with it. And that’s what I’m doing. I’m not going to stress, I’m not going to freak out, I’m just going to do it. When I have to move AGAIN…I’ll be ready. You CAN decide to make things better for yourself, it’s just a decision away. Stress is a killer, and I don’t want that for me or for you. Make the decision today not to stress over the small things (and in the scheme of things this is tiny)...besides...I got the next two days off YEE hAA
Me too just hated my job, and jst wanted to leave.
Thanks for sharing.

I believe that these kind of things happen in all work places, I've experienced them first hand. It's good to vent and get it off your chest 😁
It IS good to vent, I don't usually. Thanks so much for not condemning haha
Yup, if you can't change it, acceptance is the only thing that will give you peace of mind. We forget that sometimes.
Hey thanks @kiwideb. Just sometimes....sometimes..... I wish people would just stop to think there is a ripple on effect. Guess that applies to life too huh? anyway, I turn up the radio loud and have a good sing !!

STOPSorry you are having a bad time but as you figured out you can't change it and must relax and go with the flow, once. If you are always getting jerked around there comes that you must make difficult Decisions.
