Ah, another post about work. Truly people's life is defined by what they do, but not only the jobless are hopeless. Anyways, the company has decided to suspend the SLR(senior lead rep) program, which means no more doing paperwork, monitoring and most importantly being on the phones. Sure we'll still occasionally be doing Duty desk, but other than that, we're all on the phones. Which royally sucks. And considering they've also cut down on the Redhat(floor support) prog, we can't even get pulled for that. However for some reason, a certain bunch of people get to be offline to drop schedules and seem to do a lot of Duty Desk. Of course a lot of us are pretty upset about it, and I know that when the supervisor in charge of the SLRs were delivering the news, he really expected us to blow up at him. Well I don't any of us started swearing or quit on the spot, probably b/c we expected them to pull crap like this, but we can't kvetch about it either. In fact, we can't even voice any of our disappointment or feelings. Just supposed to let the crap slide off like water on a duck.
And this just after I finished filling in for a supervisor that went on vacation. Last week, for a whole Tues-Sat, I managed his team. It was quite interesting. Actually I wonder, though I doubt it, if the fact that I barely used my SLR had any influence on why they decided to suspend the program. I tried to give her stuff to do but she either didn't know how to do it, or did it so poorly I had to redo it anyways. Amazing how fast you learn names once you force yourself.
Work dominates my life too much. I've had dreams about people at work, I bring crap from work b/c of the dumb security audit. Not enough time to play. And I'm such a tub now b/c it's a bloody desk job.
