Knitblogging
May 7, 2008 by innermonologues
Hmmmm… it’s been a while since I blogged. And what do I have to show for it? Erm….
Oh look! Something shiny!
Didn’t work did it? ::sigh:: Oh well then I guess I have to admit the truth. I’ve gotten NOTHING finished since I last blogged. I’ve made some progress though. just not much.
April was sucked up by work though. That deadline right in the middle of it? Yeh. I worked harder and more than I ever have. (which is really sad if you knew the truth of it all) but we’ve been down one support staff member since sometime in January. Which means there are TWO secretaries for (hang on, counting…) 9 attorneys, 2 paralegals and the administrator. cause whatever secretarying or running of the office that they need done - was done by us two. and since I’ve been there 11+ years - I’m the one who knows how to do the billing, I’m the one who knows how to do the AP/AR and I’m the one that it mostly fell to. In addition to my extremely high maintenance boss who got even more high maintenance whenever he saw he didn’t have my full attention. Never mind that what I was doing was tasks that he has always said are the most important ones for the firm (billing). He felt it necessary to prove again and again that we needed to find someone else to hire to share the load. Which they were trying to do - as quickly as possible. Can I just tell you though? Not as easy as it sounds.
So - we’ve hired someone, tried to train her, and let her go, and hired someone else who’s on day 2 of her “temp-to-perm” assignment. And guess who gets to train her? :) I’m not very good at that when things need to get done. I never have been. I’m much more of a “move over and I’ll get it done” kind of person. Which is fine when you want to get things done - just not so much of the training. I’ve really had to work at being a different personality lately. Yeesh.
Anyway - knitting-wise - when I have time to knit - I’ve been working the Hug & a Prayer blanket. Which is going well - but slowly. And hanging out on Ravelry. Lots. Really really lots. :)
More later - my attention is gone.
