EverReady Bunny
Its been so long since I have lived in the US, I don’t know if they still show the stupid commercials of the Ever-eady Bunny – a little mechanic bunny rabbit that hops along clanging cymbals …. run on … of course …. EverReady batteries. The key message to the commercial was that the bunny kept going, and going, and going, and going because it was running on the best of the best batteries – EverReady.
I kind of feel like that right now. Once again … I have gone thru a week where the earliest I have gotten to sleep is 1045pm … and have gotten up every morning promptly at 315am. You can do the math – that means the absolute most sleep any night this week has been 4.5 hrs …. and several nights have been less. Overall, I don’t feel unduly tired – tired, yes – but not so much that the quality of my work is suffering.
The pace at work is gruelling right now – and we are trying to stay focussed only on priority activities – its just that there are so many right now. It doesn’t help that yesterday I had a Technician (level is somewhere between Admin Assistant [current term for secretary] and professional) refuse to do some work yesterday because he thought it was below him. I almost went ballistic. Its not like I wasn’t working until 830pm on Monday MAKING COPIES of a presentation because he went home at 430pm. If I am able to make copies to pitch in and help the team … surely this guy can help organize 27 upcoming meetings.
Before I fully engaged with this individual, however, I needed to clarify with his supervisor whether or not the scheduling of the 27 meetings should be done by the Technician or the Admin Assistant. Last night it was confirmed – the TECHNICIAN. Hopefully I will not be “too strong” today when I tell the individual that they WILL schedule the 27 meetings – but let there be no doubt – it will be clear to this person that they will be expected to work as a team.
Other than the above, really nothing to blog about. Still waiting for official word of the change in my “Job Family” …. although I have heard unofficially that it is a done deal and the paperwork is already showing me being in the “Planning and Commercial” family instead of the “Controller’s” family. Everything is supposed to be in place by 1 April.
Ciao ciao. GBU.
