Anyway, work sucked, big time. Worse, even. I'm not sure if the snowstorm down south, which delayed a shipment from last week that we are still trying to catch up on, was the reason for all the crap I had to go through today or if it's just a bump up in workload compared to recent months, but there was a lot. So much, in fact, that I have left work after spending my self-imposed two extra hours with work left over. I'll be honest: I now track the specific number of forms I get in The Fourth Department, and number-wise, I have had "worse" days than today. It might be the type of form or I might be out of practice (I last worked in The Fourth Department last week), but I was not close to finishing everything I should've done.
It's not a good feeling. Sure, I can say that I did all I could, and I did do all I could. But not since I started off on my own in The Fourth Department have I left so much to do till the next day, and back then I had the excuse that I was figuring stuff out. Yeah, I have a lot to do, but I wonder if my higher-ups are going to come in in the morning, look at everything I still have to do, and wonder about me.
The worst thing about this all is the cascading effect. Again, I don't exactly know why the work has been so much when until not too long ago I was afraid the company would shut down due to lack of work, but assuming there will be as much work as there has been recently, I am behind on finishing up the work I usually do in the afternoon. That means the stuff I usually do in the morning has to be pushed back until the afternoon, and if there is a lot of new stuff, my God, there will be even more forms that will be left unfinished by the time I have to get my butt out of work. And since tomorrow/Friday is my last workday of the week, I am leaving it for someone else to clean up. Which might not be a bad thing for me personally, but probably not good when it comes to karma.
