Been feeling kinda stressed up lately. Thinking about whether to study part-time or full time.. If this stress were to persist.. then i would need to quit. Or, if there is a change in my portfolio, then i can just carry on.
Why the stress? Its due to the workload, and the different procedures that i have to cope everyday. During normal working hours, i cant really get to finish all my entire work, and i have to stay overtime to clear it. Different people have different portfolios. Some are easy, some are harder, while some are really difficult to deal with.
And, suppliers will keep calling for payments, etc. And there are many times that you're not actually the person they are looking for.. but they would go saying, "I have been transferred here and there, and i m not going to care anymore" Then you would go soft and said, "oh.... im sorry about that, i would look into this, and get back to you as soon as possible" (even if its not without your job)
People always ask, "Please clear your tray" But is that possible? I think i would have to camp there the whole day to clear everything. Being busy the whole day, you would prioritise, what to do first, whats urgent and you would clear them first. Im not a robot or anything, just a human, so sometimes i feel that people are really not thoughtful enough, and i would just hate them. The worst part of it all, there's a deadline for most of the things, the management/gst/cashflow/budget/carpark reports.. the payment vouchers.. the payment list.. list of reimbursements.. and journals as and when needed etc..
Sometimes i would get very pissed, when im so busy, and the fucking phone just keep ringing and ringing.. And people coming to you, asking you this and that..
If its really important or something, or really urgent, i dont think i would mind that much (maybe) BUT, like when you're so busy, then people are like asking you for those not urgent and unimportant things, and then IMAGINE, they got the wrong stuff from you, and come back to you and said, "OOOPS, Sorry, i told you the wrong one, actually i need this one...." And you have to spend time digging it up again.
And if people are being scolded or something, of coz you have the logic that its not a really good time to ask that particular person something at that point of time. You would like wait for a little while more, so i cant stand it when i see some people who just cant understand this, and just ask something even though half the office could hear the boss shouting.
And then people take leave or whatever, you need to cover for them (even though you cannot cope with your current workload).
Then you would start thinking, is it that necessary for the person ? And the person hasnt finish this or that.. Why would that person want to do that? And isnt it fishy that the person was perfectly fine, and then dont come to work out of the sudden?
And even during the probabtion people do things that are unrelated to work? Talk most of the time.. and go out for non work related stuff?
I would think thats ridiculous and really not a very nice thing to do.
