beansideAfter D&D weekend, going back to work was a little bit of a letdown. I mean, work was fine. I got a lot done, but it was mostly boring. In the week that I was out, the project went from 2000 to 1500 orders. That's not bad, I suppose, but we were doing close to 200 a day, so I was hoping it would be closer to 1000. Still, it's better than it could have been. I believe there's more to be added, so it'll probably be going back up in the next couple of days.
It's not bad at the beginning of the day, but by the time we get to the afternoon, I'm dragging making these cases. I'm still faster than most of my coworkers, but damn, I get tired of making the same exact case over and over again.
Ah well, two days, then I have a break. I took Tuesday off, to make sure I'm available if Jess has bad side effects from shot number two today. They took such good care of me, I have to make sure I'm there if they need me. If not, yay, day off! But after my sister had such a reaction after having none with the first shot, I felt like it was important.
My boss ended up leaving early yesterday due to second shot side effects. I totally understood. Hopefully, he's feeling a little better today.
Still waiting to see what's going to happen with managers. My prior manager is back from maternity leave, and I'm not sure where that leaves the current managers. To be fair, they aren't sure either. I asked during my one on one, and they said they hadn't gotten direction on it. I liked my old manager, but given a choice, I'd stay with the new one. He trusts me more and challenges me.
Also, there's that little part of me that thinks the old manager was part of the reason I didn't get the Team Leader job last time I applied. I don't think I'd conveyed my eventual goals, and so I don't think she was as enthusiastically behind me as she could have been. So part of it could be my mistake, but I'd only been on her team for 9 months, and my goals at that point were more "learn the job." I feel like current manager would go to bat for me more, so of course I want to keep him.
Now I just need another position that I want to come up for grabs and see how it goes.
