Woke up at 4am, and was still thinking about how idle I was at work. It is a scary thought coz that means I'm next in line for redundancy. My manager and 2 other managers were made redundant just last October. And no, there was no compensation. Just a 4 week notice.
Then eureka!
Operations have a new project and I thought it to be in line with the docs streamlining initiative of the Docs team. I wanted to project manage, even do BA work for it. Besides, the head of Operations is a sensible manager who has earned my respect. He's always been supportive and forward thinking. I even thought about getting the Docs Team lead heavily involved as I think our combined skills will complement each other.
So when I came to work, I talked to the Docs Team Lead. The more he explained about their initiative the more that the idea started to dissipate. I really felt lazy after talking to him. I even wanted to to go home.
It's tough when you're left with a manager who can't help but assume everyone's duties. And she then tends to just focus on what's hot at the moment, forgetting about BAU things, and gets really distracted with whatever or whoever is jumping ang screaming at the moment.
So I went out for a walk. Had to tell hubby about my concerns over the phone. Then I went out for a walk at the Domain to help clear my head. Now I'm tempted to leave early, skip tomorrow and just focus on submitting job applications.
