It looks like it will be continuing when I get back tomorrow night, too. It will be likely be weeks before the workload is caught up on, if they continue at this rate for another week or so. And I have to really save up vacation time until next August. Got, like, only 40 hours' worth.
What I am more worried about is the manager Nel griping us out anyway for not being able to magically keep up 100% despite it being too much work for two people per shift in my area right now, let alone one. God willing there will be no complaining emails from him or anyone else waiting for me when I get back tomorrow. Because not being appreciated - acting like I could somehow do better - despite working my tail off for 12 hours straight and for multiple days at a time, is what would really be my personal pet peeve at a time like this. But the Lord says not to worry. So I will try not to.
Thankfully an extra three hours' or so worth of work got done my last night there, on Monday, because a coworker named Haley did her best to step in and help from another lab when she had the lightest bit of downtime going on there. I took a few minutes before clocking out that morning to send my praise of her in an email to our two direct supervisors. I hope she feels appreciated for it, because I doubt very many others in the lab, were they in her position, would lift a finger to put in the extra effort to help another tech who is swamped, so long as they were not directly obligated to (which she wasn't), much less three hours' or so worth.
But for now, sangria on ice, and some gaming. ^-^
Ever thinking of finding a new line of work?
