I've had enough
-
If you're turned off by ranting, you should stop reading here.
I'm sick and tired of my work in camp as an NSF. I'm expected to help everyone with every damn matter. I don't get peace even at the weekends and when I'm on leave.
However when I'm made the middleman for a superior or another branch, and request for items or data from the same people I help on the formers' behalf, they accede to it really slowly. And I get all the flak for not wasting my time to chase them harder. It's soured relations with friends in the said branches unnecessarily.
I don't have anybody's help at the moment, and with silly audits coming up, the above situation is going to happen more often. There are things that my ex-helpmate left undone when I wasn't around as well and it's worrying me.
There are tasks not under my purview which I've had to take over because they weren't done on time or improperly. People keep leaving important files lying around. I have to be the one who picks up after them, because if it isn't done, guess who gets the blame for their irresponsible behaviour?
No one's able to take over my job for another 5 weeks. Sometimes, I'm ready to snap at the next person who calls and says, "Can you help me do this?" but I can't.
I've become moody lately. I'm probably exaggerating but my anxiety manifests itself in the form of bouts of diarrhoea and gastric pains. I'm ready to throw in the towel and check myself into the infirmary for a long sabbatical. I know it's cowardly of me to want to escape, but disaster's coming my way in the form of the audit aftermath. Whether I'm there or otherwise, the wayang's not going to be complete anyway. I'll let the bloody place collapse under their own spineless, selfish and indifferent attitudes.
Being polite and helpful to these people doesn't give me satisfaction any longer. I'm jaded now, sod my ORD in February because it'll be nothing but misery til then, with only my trip to meet kikq to look forward to.
Right, since my problem is insignificant compared to someone else's, I'll shut up now. -
I don't know if this helps you, but:
ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE! -

I MUST SAY one of the MOST IMPORTANT THINGS in SAF is 'people to people' communication and RELATIONSHIP... If you ain't seeing HOW IMPORTANT IT IS in SAF... REST ASSURED that you'll be seeing MORE of it in the SOCIETY NEXT TIME...
Back in my NSF days, all sorts of IRRESPONSIBLE AS$HOLES hang around too... BUT ONCE you've got a GROUP of FRIENDS WORKING TOGETHER in HARMONY.... It's REALLY AMAZING how all the SH|T can just 'DISAPPEAR' under the TEAM WORK... TRUST ME... IN SAF... You ain't called a 'UNIT' for NOTHING... -
ENDURE ENDURE ENDURE or let ur direct boss know and ask him to get u 1-2 ppl more to help out

Doing it all on my own, surrounded by unhelpful people, is one thing - keeping my sanity is another.Originally posted by LinYu:gat a life. moaning and whining is not going to help. you still got to do those $hit. just do it and get on with your life. 
*Speaks new thoughts*
Or I guess I should simply expect no good to come from people anymore, if this is the way it's meant to be everywhere. I place too much faith in the goodness of other people. -
Kuali, perpaps u r putting too much pressure on yourself, making too c0ck sure that everything is alright.
Maybe it's just gd to let everyone die.....if they don't do their work, let them be. Just don't do their work. -
There're too many types of people around!!! Why rush into such a conclusion so soon...??!Originally posted by Kuali Baba:Doing it all on my own, surrounded by unhelpful people, is one thing - keeping my sanity is another.
