Way more complicated than it needs to be

Whew. Overcomplicated seems to be the watchword for this week. It seems like half the things I've been dealing with are way more difficult than they need to be.

Exhibit A: One of our managers, who will have a name as soon as I can get my cheat sheet written, forwarded us a resignation letter from one of the interns. This is fine, we knew it was coming. However, he just put "letter of resignation" in the subject line. So I panicked. We've had some staff turnover, and I didn't think he was going to leave. He isn't. We had a talk about how he could maybe not do that ever again. This job is going to give me gray hair.

Exhibit B: One of the supervisors calls me all worried. One of his people's pay is wrong. I look at the timesheet, and what we actually paid him, and cannot for the life of me find a discrepancy. I called the supervisor in to the office so we could go over it together, because if I made a mistake I need to know what it is so I can fix it. The guy says he's short overtime. No, he's short two more scrolls on his phone that would show it under a different code.

Exhibit C: Not quite work related, but sort of. I am setting up a new blog, as myself. This one will still be around, and I am debating if I want to link the two. If I do, it will only be one way. I will link from here to the one that's me, but I won't link from that one to here. I would like to keep my job. Not that there's anything that I've written that's bad, I just wouldn't necessarily want any of the people I work with to see. Anyway, Blogger is making it way harder than it should be. I have almost doxed myself at least twice in the last fifteen minutes. They try and make it so easy to put all your stuff in the same place. Which is great, if you want that. If you're running a secret anonymous blog, and another as yourself with personal info, you don't necessarily want to link the two. Or have the anon name posting on the personal blog. Ugh.

There's a lot more that's been going on that I'm going to try and get written up this weekend to put up next week. I'm just not sure where my days are going. It's like I don't get a minute to breathe, then I'm home, dinner, bed, time to wake up and do it all over again, with no pauses in between. But it's almost Saturday!
