So I know I've posted a couple times about my unhappiness at work (including some confessions).  I have been getting very frustrated at a few of the operational systems set up because they just weren't working for me.

Finally I broke down and told my boss I was pretty much ready to leave because we're slow right now and I have to do overtime at least once a week just to stay caught up.  It was a bit annoying because she seemed surprised by the whole bit, but I guess it makes sense because unless you're in my office day in day out you don't really see how it's going.

But at any rate, it really shook her up, and in turn shook things up.  I now have a few more responsibilities, but in turn I've got an assistant.  It's kind of strange...

So this these last two weeks has been spent training her and I think she's catching on alright.  I think we'll end up being a tight team so long as it doesn't turn out she's doing things wrong and just dazzling me in the meantime.

I am a bit worried because my office was small to begin with and now there's two people crammed in here.  Not to mention the fact I'm an only child who works best being left alone and now I don't have that.  So far that's been ok though, and even when I'm super bitchy I somehow end up in a better mood when she's there because she does the sympathetic ear well.  Not that I whine all the time or anything, but just a quick "Oh boy this customer is frustrating" "that sucks!" exchange is all it takes.  Hopefully that trend keeps going.

I have noticed that I'm turning into one of those bumbling bosses when she's around.  Like the kind you see on TV that are pretty much useless and the secretary runs the whole operation.  Yeah, that's how I feel sometimes.

But this is a good change.
