To Do -
Enjoy the Holidays!
Sure would be easier to do the latter, if there was more time to complete the former. My life is currently a madhouse, primarily because I am so busy at work that I'm exhausted when I walk out of there each afternoon. Finally told my supervisor that I could NOT continue trying to keep up both jobs, given the current volume of work going across my desk. My own duties, those I inherited when JoAnn retired (I inherited her complete job), the extra work required to complete those duties in the new system, and the fact that the accounting system continues to run so much more slowly than the old one. Just amazing that we would spend all that money on a system and all that time on training to be stuck with something that takes forever to complete the various processes. ARGH.
The only blessing is that moral is very good, better than I can ever recall, in the agency, the office and our unit. I attribute much of this to our Commissioner and our CFO who exemplify the concept of Servant Leaders. Our CFO in particular has done a really good job with management, stressing teamwork, and the fact that we are all in this together. No more looking over our shoulders, and a lot more working together. I NEVER in the past would have requested help, but I've been told on several occasions that if I need help just ask. I did. If I could just pass off some of the time-consuming, repetitious duties that are part of every job, it would sure make a difference. We'll see.
- Finish cards
- Finish shopping
- Finish wrapping
- Finish putting up lights
