Life is funny. It really is. Sometimes it just stinks, but a lot of the time there is something amusing about it. Oh, and be careful what you wish for. You just may get it.
I've been struggling with work for awhile now. Usually because it is boring and I want something worthwhile to do. I have been working in my office for almost 5 years now. I started in my current position back in October, and have become so efficient that I often have a lot of time to waste blog surfing. Do you think that you can become too efficient? I'd have to say that, yeah, you probably can. Now, I don't have any less work than anyone else, I just choose to blaze through it, whereas, others like to talk their way through the day. I'm in a back corner, not many people to talk to unless I'm not at my desk. And I just work hard.
Yesterday my boss asked me what I think about giving up my job to two part-timers and helping another girl in our office. I told her I have lots of thoughts, but no words. Finally a few came out. "I like my job, and I don't like hers." Yikes.
After thinking about it for a little bit, I figured out the whole royal complicated plot. If they move me, then they have an acceptable reason to move another girl into our office and me out of it. I don't think that I am disliked, I am just not as well liked as the other girl who is going to be outside our office at the direction of higher administration.
And great, my efficiency has made this all possible. Anyone can do my job. It doesn't take very long. No big deal.
Well, here's the "beautiful" part. This all may just have given me the motivation and incentive to look for another, better job. With people who appreciate hard work, value dedication, and reward accordingly.
Can you feel the freedom coming?
