just tired...

this week i am so tired (physically and mentally). i don't know why. our new team member started on monday, so i've had to escort her to her conf room, get her set up with the audio equipment, logged onto her computer, etc, etc, etc. i don't mind doing that because at one point or another we've all been the new kid on the block. but i have so much to do and so little time to do it. she is supposed to sit and observe with each of us. after the first day, i had her sit with my other team mate. i mean, i'm good at what i do - don't get me wrong. but because of the team of people that i work with i don't have time to stop and explain each and every little thing. plus, i've developed some bad habits as i've gotten busier and i don't want her to pick up on those.

what i'm curious about is why this chick accepted the job. i mean she was an hr generalist. a generalist!!! those in or familiar with hr know about a generalist's role in a company. their hands are pretty much in everything hr related (recruiting, orientation, payroll, employee relations...you get the point). but she left that job to come and work with us to be basic schedulers. that's all we do all day everyday, schedule interviews for microsoft recruiters. a monkey could do the job. it's not difficult nor is it a challenge. we have all placed bets on how long she will last in the job. i hope she stays a while, but honestly once she gets the basics and is able to do the job for a while i think she'll realize what a mistake it was taking this position.

i'm so glad it's wednesday. my days are all messed up this week. i thought yesterday was wednesday but i'm glad it wasn't because with everything i have going on at work on friday i need all the extra days i can to prepare.
