Long, busy days - me like
I really love my job, I do. I like it when it is busy. But I don't like when you have the feeling that you are behind, that you have to much left before deadline. Ok, I don't really have deadlines, but I do need to stay in contact with my customers regularly. When I was ill, my colleagues were supposed to help me with my most urgent cases, the one that really needed help right away. I came back, and no one had taken one of my cases! That meant that I had to go back on taking calls, with a big backlog. And on top of that, I am responsible for letters, so I had to do them. Suddenly I was up in over 30 open cases. That is a lot!!
I am trying to work as fast as I can, while I am taking calls as well, but it is difficult. Most of the cases requires me calling the customer or somewhere else and I can't do that when I am taking calls.
Well, I am working fine and could close a lot of cases today, but then I got 6 new letters, and I had the same amount as I had this morning.
I still love my job and I am busy the whole time, which means that the day is just passing by in no time, that is usually a good thing, but not right now since I have so many things to finish.
Except that, I have slept bad the last few days, I got the same symptoms again as the ones I had when I went to the hospital, not as serious though. And since I don't have time to get sick again, I didn't say anything and just tried to ignore it.
When I got home to my boyfriend who has been off today, I hoped to see something done, at least the trash taken out..what do you think?
I asked him what he had done today, and said in the same sentence "probably nothing" and he looked at me and said "Yes I have!" I looked surprised and he told me that he had called the bank to set up a direct debit to my account and he had washed the frying pan! And he said it as if he had cleaned the whole flat twice!
So I ate, and started to clean. I don't have the energy to say anything. When I asked why he had done nothing he said "this is my first off day for a long time", he was off Saturday and Sunday...but with big hang overs. Is that my fault?
I am just letting it go. I am having a cup of tea and will clean up a bit before I go to bed. I really need to get some more sleep so I can handle the day tomorrow.
Oh, and by the way. I am trying to make friends here. On Thursday I am gonna go to the pub with a few guys, and hopefully a girl =) and have a few beers. My boyfriend will be sooo pissed off if he knows they are guys, but I will tell him and they know very well that I have a boyfriend, they have worked with him.
And I guess I am going up to Belfast this weekend. If Fredrik has not thrown our stuff away already. I will be a little sad then. I will survive without them, but my cooking book that I got as a christmas gift two years ago, is up there.
Well, need to go now..
