My Work Life: Chaotic and Exhausting

   I am looking forward to Christmas break because I will get a much needed break from work and school. I become very tired from working all day at work and then, I must come home to do homework. I know going to school full-time and working full-time is my choice, but sometimes I just need to rant a little about my life.

     Work has been very hectic lately and sometimes I dread even going to work. My place of employment has decided to make some changes and of course, these changes involve me as they always do. The managers at DLT have decided to change my duties and relocate my work area. Well, actually I will have two work areas, whereas now I only have one central work location. When I first heard about this possible change taking place, I became very nervous and I immediately knew that I did not want my work area to be moved. All the employees involved in this change held a meeting to go through the possible changes that were going to take place.

      We had another meeting this past Thursday, which was more detailed than the first meeting. I know; it seems as if all we do is have meetings all day long. Anyway, I was told I would have my second work area setup by Monday, November 14, 2011. I became so anxious that I just wanted to go home. I do not like moving, because I have already had my work area moved two other times in the past three years.

     My biggest complaint about having two separate work areas is that it actually makes my job harder than more efficient. I will have to run all over the plant just to complete the job at hand. I also do not want to be pulled away from the co-workers that are around me now. I have adapted to them and I love being around them. They are like my second family and who would want to be pulled away from their family?

     Now, I am going to hate coming into work. I have spoken to my boss about this whole situation and he basically feels the same as I do. He does not believe setting up a second work area for me is any more efficient than where I sit now. I feel there are no justifiable reasons for this change. I hope he will argue his reasoning to the other managers to try and change their minds about this whole change process.

     Lastly, if I must have two work areas, I hope it is only a temporary change. I hate complaining about things that may seem minute to some people, but I have been freaking out about this idea of changing things at work for about three weeks now. I hope the situation works out and I hope I can de-stress over the weekend. I feel everything will work out at my place of employment, but I have not gotten used to the idea yet. Well, I am glad I got my true feelings off my chest and thanks for listening to me rant. I am exhausted and now, I can go to bed. Until next time...
