May. 31st, 2013 04:50 pmUgh, this week.
I legitimately spent most of April fucking up all the assignments I was given, mainly because a) I was only there for like half the month and b) I was A LITTLE STRESSED. But I don't know if I was actually fucking up more than everyone else, or if we were getting especially-closely-monitored because the documents were going in front of a major bigwig. Anecdotal evidence seems to indicate the latter but I can't be sure. Benchmarking, how does it work.
Anyway, I noticed today that the head of research was sending me proofreading comments and copying the director of our department. Who I technically work directly for, so it's not like she's especially intimidating, as she has trouble making her printer work. Still, it's not normal procedure. I'm not sure if it's because I'm about to get a disciplinary consult or if it's because I'm being considered for the research job that's opening up in June. The former would be horrifying, the latter awesome.
So of course I'm anticipating the former. Well, pessimists go through life being pleasantly surprised.
At this point, while I enjoy making 30% more money than I did as a receptionist, I do kind of miss it. There was very little stress and I spent a lot more time writing.
I am going to spend the weekend watching television in my pyjamas.
