I am sure that this is a first-world problem, or a problem of the working woman when so many others are looking for work, but here goes...
Yesterday, I had all of my supervisors in the office at once. Not a big deal; they are a generally friendly crowd. I don't even mind that their presence generally increases my workload. After all, they are paying me to actually work, not just sit and be pretty and watch Netflix and Hulu Plus all day (which I do while working for background noise).
They show up and I get another big project. Not a big deal; I just took a deep breath, turned around and put it on my to-do list. Then, one of my supervisors says, "You don't have to do it. Get a volunteer to do that for you."
Ummmmmmmmmmmm.................
Let's start with the fact that I am in a camp full of adults busy with their own projects and campers- and that we are, for all intents and purposes, in the middle of nowhere. Just where in the hell am I supposed to get a volunteer? Am I supposed to perform magic, pull them out of my ass or the sky... where am I expected to find these wonderful volunteers who are going to do my job for me?
Which brings me to my second gripe about this. I am an administrative director. It is my job to...I don't know....worry about who gets access to all of these wonderful health forms that I am now re-organizing. So, to tell me to get a volunteer from out of the blue clear sky implies to me that you do not trust me to do the job that you are PAYING me to do. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, or maybe I'm just a workaholic, but I like doing what I'm being paid to do.
Immediately after all of this is lunch. The other supervisor is upset because I'm suddenly not hungry (cause upset) and won't eat lunch with the big group. In case y'all have forgotten, I'm a grown ass woman. If I decide I'm not hungry and that I want to work through my lunch break, get over it. Move on.
There is no really overriding point to this post. I just felt like writing and letting off some steam.
