Last week was a bad work week for me. It all started Wednesday, when I was pulled from my main priority to work on a new products so that operations could do some test bookings to make sure everything works fine.
Then, lead person M asked me to do some of his normal tasks, because he was swamped from taking over for our supervisor who was on vacation, as well as questions and problems brought in by the rest of the team, so I told him that it was no problem, but that this would, for sure, slow down my progress on my main priority from the past few weeks. He said it was not going to be a problem, as he was aware that I was temporarily pulled away.
Also, since building the new products, he's been calling me several times a day, on my extension, to change things or fix things I'd forgotten, or mention things that he was updated on and ask me to make the change. Right away. As it couldn't wait, due to further testing.
Add to this the fact that I'm trying to juggle dealing with the new destination I was assigned to, through processing requests from reservations, interruptions from people asking questions or talking to me, and major wrist pain in my mouse hand that makes my forearm throb all the way to right above my elbow, and I was slowed down considerably and fell a bit behind.
So, on Friday morning, I was asked by lead M why I was still stuck on the same property since a few days prior. I know it's because our supervisor's boss was on his back, but when I reminded him of all of the above, I was told that this should not have been an issue and the work should have been done at about the same speed. Um, say what? If I spend all day up until 3pm working on stuff that isn't my main priority for a full day, adding to that, both work-related and other interruptions, I still get two 15 minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch, and you'll see why this hasn't gone on as fast as it should.
Seriously.
