Hard Things

[ysabetwordsmith]

Life is full of things which are hard or tedious or otherwise unpleasant that need doing anyhow. They help make the world go 'round, they improve skills, and they boost your sense of self-respect. But doing them still kinda sucks. It's all the more difficult to do those things when nobody appreciates it. Happily, blogging allows us to share our accomplishments and pat each other on the back.

What are some of the hard things you've done recently? What are some hard things you haven't gotten to yet, but need to do? Is there anything your online friends could do to make your hard things a little easier?

putting in applications to other jobs

Scheduling interviews with other places while managing being one of 4 support staff left in the office

collecting reference letters and people willing to be contacted for reference

wrangling all of the loose ends that the 6 other people who have already left dumped on me and the next one gearing up to flee the burning ship. Getting procedures written, supplies documented and listed, work areas cleaned and organized, reference materials updated, face sheets, tips and tricks, guides for processes, and anything else useful that we can muster together done before we run like our tails are on fire.

Dealing with the training and additional workload necessary for us to take over the work of the 6 who left before, well knowing we are going to be running out right after them.


All without tipping off management and trying to work up the courage to tell those we are scrambling to support that it's about to get worse.
