Happy Sunday Morning you all! Hope you are sleeping in and finding time to relax today. I had to work yesterday and will need to put in sometime today as well. Not ideal but I am new and the work is a lot. I have a feeling that this is common but it is not ideal for me.
So I realize what I mistake I made by leaving my old job. I am not getting that much more money here and the work load is a lot. The team is stretched extremely thin and everyone puts in a lot of time. The difference is that the rest of the team either has older kids or no kids. So I am the only one with young kids and working this many hours is just not ideal.
There is a mentality that leadership wants things done in a timeframe which I totally understand. There have been many times where I have had to work long hours but I always knew that it was on a certain week and after that things will slow down and I had good tools to use.
In this new job, apparently its always on the go and there seems to be never ending requests for information. The issue is that there are no tools in place to be able to produce the data quickly. Its a lot of manual work and getting to the information requested is not easy. It almost feels like you are in a maze.
So I feel like I can't get out of the maze easily. I know that for now, this is where I am. Its a temporary job and not a place where I intend to be permanently. So till then, I just need to keep doing as I am and wait. I am not sure what I am waiting for and that is the part that I need to reflect more.
So I am sure many of you have had this experience. How you deal with it and your attitude is most important. Keep reminding yourself that this is temporary and nothing is ever permanent. Things will keep moving just like seasons and I am in a very hard season. The phrase "This too shall past" is so helpful to keep in mind.
So I am stressed and exhausted but I keep reminding myself this too shall past, and it will. I just need to hang in there till I figure out what is it that I really want.
In the meantime, I know that I am grateful for having a job and its helping me pay the bills. So take it one day at a time and hang in there.
I hope sharing my experience will help some of you who are in a similar situation. We can get through this! Yes we can!
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!
Peace
Monita
