This will probably end up being a typical day in the office story for most of you, but I just need to let it out a little. If you didn’t read my posts about “One Project” the summary is that I was working on just one project last week at work because it was something critical that had to be done and because my boss’s boss told me to. I was told to concentrate on fixing that problem while all my other projects would have to be put on hold and be adjusted to accommodate it. I fixed the problem and returned to work this week to find out that I have no such luck. I had to complete not only last week’s projects but this week’s as well, oh and a new project that came up during the week while I was concentrating on that single task. So I have been putting in a good deal of unpaid overtime which is why posts here have slowed. In spite of my efforts, not everything that had to get done this week will be completed. On top of all this work I’m going to get a nice big red mark on my performance record that will haunt me for the rest of the fiscal year. They sure know how to motivate people.
