Back to work...

Well, it was back to work today. It was really nice to have 4 days in a row off work. I was swamped with work today and I also had to cover the switchboard for 4 hours. I was asked to cover the switchboard tomorrow for 4.5 hours. It is hard to get my own work done when I am tethered out at the switchboard. It is hard to focus on the figures when there are constant interruptions. I finished 6 reports while I was out there today. I am waiting for information from 2 techs to finish 2 more reports. There are 17 techs that I support by reviewing and correcting their paperwork every week. This would be easy if they filled out their forms accurately and completely, but most have mistakes in them and it is my job to find the mistakes and correct them. This would not be too hard except I am constantly being interrupted. Or...I almost get them done and I need to verify information that is available on my terminal but not at the switchboard computer. I should not complain because I really wanted to work where I work, it is just tough being the person with the least seniority and the person who covers the phones for breaks and days off. To be continued...
