'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I like to initiate change + Mac hates change = I avoid making many changes, definaty not fast ones.
It's a theme in my life that I am starting to get a handle on. A lot of my natural traits/likes are things that mac has issues with (change, surprises, spontaneity, new experiences, travel) so have mostly disappeared from my life.
It seems like incompetent people are totally oblivious of their incompetence. Or maybe they just don't care. Anyway, if you actually think about whether or not you're doing a good job, you're already a better employee than a lot of people we know. *waves pompoms*
All hail the mighty inertia.
Good luck dealing with change! Change is hard, even when you are so ready for change that you want to kick off your old shoes and run to the door.
Go Jess! Congratulations on the new! You've got this.
msbelle, how frustrating.
Go Jess!!!
I like change, once I'm in it. Anticipation of change is the part that freezes me. If I know it is coming down the road but there is nothing I can do in the meantime...eeeep. Give me something to research, plan, prep and I'm ok. Next month x is happening and you just need to wait until then is NOT COOL.
All the people at the new place think I'm really smart
The people are right. They know they're lucky to get you.
Go, Jess!
Reason #158 why it's time to leave this boss:
She uses a list she calls "New staff training." The first part is mostly verifying that a number of onboarding activities have been completed, nothing to do with training. These activities are on our onboarding checklist provided by HR, most of which our HR person is responsible for, and me for the things that are department specific. So, mainly, the boss is checking up on us because god knows we don't know how to do our jobs. ::insert eye roll here:: Then, when she said her training list was written specifically for new student services coordinators, I said she should put that on the form because the file calls it a template. If it's a generic template, it shouldn't be reflecting a specific position. So when I went back to the file on our shares drive, the file name was still generic but in the title at the top of the page she added the position title in italics and underlined. Ooooh, I guess she told me.
Yeah, I've already got another job I'm looking at.
Yay, Jessica! Do the thing that scares you!
Is it a scientific law that as soon as you find out a deadline is tighter than you'd like, you just don't have the energy/bandwidth to deal with working on the thing? Because this is happening to me right now.
Congrats, Jess!
