Work Woes
For the last two weeks, for a few hours each day I have been training for my new position with a different division here within Customer Service. As I mentioned last time, this is not a promotion or demotion. This is as lateral a move as is possible. :(
At first I will be doing less that I am currently responsible for (or was before I passed it all on), then over the next few weeks I will be adding tasks to my workload and look out for other things I can help with.
No disrespect to my trainer or her efforts to get me up to speed, but I am bored out of my skull. Perhaps it is my mood today, or my blood sugar is too high, but I am totally not looking forward to going over there and am feeling kind of down about it.
On top of that, in an effort to get ready for this move, I have passed on a lot of things that I would normally be working on and I am removing myself from participating in certain activities and processes. This leaves me to handle phone calls coming into my area and orders as they are sent in. So not only am I bored now, but I am anticipating being bored when I move officially, which will be next Monday.
This move means that I won't be sitting near all the people whom I have become very good friends with over the last year, and will have to get used to some new people. All of this combined is not making my mood all that great. I am sure that it will pass and everything will be ok. Ugh.
