Trip Like I Do

I Need A Raise

February 4th, 2008

Wow, I did some things I never thought I would do while working this session.  I worked for almost a full day on Saturday and I put in a 2 hour day today.  Yikes!

We had an important meeting Saturday and our assistant clerk was unavailable, so silly me, I volunteered to come in and help thinking that it was only going to be for a couple of hours.  Ha!  I got there at 9am and left a little after 4pm.  Now, if I was smart, I would have gone to the gym afterwards, but I was so tired, I just headed home.

I stayed up too late last night, but have finally realized that if I shower at night, I can “sleep in” a little in the mornings, so I think I am going to do that from now on.  I wasn’t completely zapped at the end of the day so I decided to stay late to try to catch up on some stuff - hence the 12 hour day.

I am finding that a lot of work I do is, in my opinion, completely unnecessary.  I don’t want to get into too many details, but it’s just getting extremely difficult to keep up with all of the tasks that I am being given.  Extremely difficult unless I continuously put in 12 hour days and frankly, I am not getting paid enough to work that hard.

I am so backed up, I even considered going into work on Sunday, until I slapped myself out of it and realized just how badly I needed a day off.
