Workaholic...Maybe...But not really
So, I work for this large non-profit agency in Rhode Island. You could probably figure out who I mean, but I enjoy being a little vague from time to time. :)
Right now I'm an administrative assistant. I am not being snooty when I say that I am over-qualified to copy, print, type and fetch food for other people. This is not what I got a Master's degree for, but it's a job for now.
Sometimes, however, I just want to say: "Take this job and shove it. I ain't workin' for you no more." (That's a country song -- I think). I hit that point last week when I had to write out 300 individual post-it notes for a meeting with a consultant today. I have a good idea about what they're using them for. The activity should take about 15-20 minutes. It took me probably 2 hours to write out the sticky notes.
There weren't any majorly idiotic tasks for me to do today. Most people are in a meeting right now and everything is quiet. Ahhh...silence. It just means that I have more time to play on the computer. I think that I'll go check out the Boston Globe now. :)
