Work stress venting.
Hard to vent work stress when most people dont understand what i do - nor do they really have any interest (no criticism from me on that).
The universal version:
Being told to prioritize two different things by two different groups - both of which are behind schedule and one of which I just got an email asking to change some core parts that pretty much means back to square 1.
My "help" are new to the tools and standards so i have to teach them basics (meaning id be faster doing it myself). They are afraid to use initiative (also understandable as this place will shred you for not knowing minutiae that they never bothered to write down).
The newer project has me doing things i dont normally do with people halfway across the country who dont do things like they are done here.
I am thinking that becoming Amish would be easier some days, except I dont think they like whiskey.
Anyway back to raising my cortisol levels.
