Breaking Point
Jun. 6th, 2003 12:46 pmSo now I have been reprimanded. For being rude and 'short' to the students.
Good side:
I don't need to send them back to the textbook side for textbook problems-- since that was part of the problem I got Lisa to explain to how to answer the questions I have been sending them back to textbooks for.
In theory, my boss just took some of the load off my shoulders. I explained that between being sick and my stress level at how much I have to do, I was probably being rude. I was very apologetic, and she could see my stress-- and now the training of the temp is off my shoulders, and the other two full timers will be taking up some of the stuff I do.
We will see how that works. The 2 major probjects my second to the top boss gave me are much more work to do. Let's put it this way-- I one solid day of work and I have 3% of half of ONE project done.
Bad side-
I cried.
Something was brought up that was a MAJOR source of stress a few back, a problem with a Professor that I had been worrying would cost my job (I was assured that was not the case - in fact she was surprised I might thing so). So I am relieved about that, but I hate being so unprofessional.
I really must learn not to do that.
Anyway, I am taking sanity breaks today, because between being sick and stress and the fact that I simply am not up to the speed that I think I should be at.... ARGH!
The last is the most- I hate not living up the standards I set for myself.
I wish I could go home. I really don't feel good and I think sleep and medicine would make it all better. Maybe this will be a short day for me.
