Still stupidly busy
I don’t feel quite so knackered now though. I have stopped taking my hay fever tablets, and I feel tons better. Next year I will ask for the non drowsy ones.
After taking yesterday off, I got into work today to find my calendar filled from 10 until 5, with just 30 minutes for lunch.
And my boss wonders why I am not progressing the ‘project’ work. I told her in my one to one today that the whole team is drowning under a sea of queries - even the stupid ones need to be looked at, and take at least 15 minutes after you have responded trying to politely say “Piss off, this is a stupid request!”, and they have come back at least twice still trying to convince you that you really want to do their work.
Out of two days work last week, 12 hours was spent on unplanned adhoc queries. Plus we have to authorise data access requests - admittedly not many, maybe 15 or so a month, but they all take time to check over.
So she is going to ask her boss if we can have a monkey. Someone who can deal with all the crap, and just pass on to the rest of us ‘proper’ queries. It is such a waste of the company’s money to be paying me to answer some of these stupid queries.
And so, S2 passed these on to me today. I have seen them before, but I so love them I am going to share them again - enjoy!
