Kirsten's Desk

I have spent the past two years - and countless hours - trying to educate colleagues and help them manage various company matters (that they should be managing themselves anyway). I’ve created cheat sheets and newsletters, gathered links, and assembled all materials in a one-stop-shopping site. About 60 per cent took it seriously, the other 40 have continually ignored it all. So I just sent off an email reminding everyone that I’m being reassigned January 3, and they’ll be on their own with the whole mess. I’ve committed to being available for questions and tutoring until then, but God, I’m so tired, I wish I could be done with everything right fucking now.

That previous paragraph was pretty whiny, so I’ll offset it by saying that the 60 per cent have often expressed their gratitude at the research and materials I prepped for them. And for those people, I’d happily do it all again.

Yesterday was very tiring, but also VERY good. It made me smile. And laugh. I’ll tell you about it sometime, but that time isn’t now.

This morning’s meeting was likely my last early meeting this year. And possibly my last early meeting ever. I will miss that group, but not that hour.

Okay, maybe this Wednesday isn’t all whiny…
