Think of how the podiatrist feels
Kwummy September 5th, 2007
Not much to write today. Been swamped at work. And I’m only swamped because other people are lazy and/or also swamped.
I’m doing shit that I don’t know how to do and that I’m not qualified to do. So, why am I doing it? Because the company is too cheap to hire extra help and those that should be doing it are already too busy.
Seriously, that’s how this company works. Everyone is working 60 hour weeks every week and working outside of their knowledge base.
It isn’t that I don’t want to learn new things, it’s just that I wanted my professional career to head in one direction. Now, thanks to this job, it’s heading in a million different directions. None of which I’m happy about.
Let me put it this way. It’s like a podiatrist being asked to preform a colonoscopy. Sure, he’s a doctor, maybe he could do it. But the podiatrist wanted to work with feet, he didn’t want to spend 12 hours a day digging around in someone’s ass.
Surely you can understand his problem, yeah?
