Fed Up

Hello Everyone: Another work day, another exercise in frustration. The latest source of frustration is an extra layer of paperwork. The powers that be want the tracers to log the information gathered into a massive Excel spreadsheet. That's a wee to much for me. I get the need to keep everyone in the loop in order but the extra layer of paperwork means one less case gets caught and an increase of the likliehood of a spreader event. Frankly, I've had enough to the whole project and ready to move on. I'm not going to do anything rash like quit without having something else. That's just irresponsible. I am reaching out for more permenant positons but it's an exercise in patience. I suppose I could be a little more patient with this tracer job, afterall, I did want to do it. I guess I didn't fully realize just how much work it would be and the scale of project. Perhaps I could be a little more patient with my current job but my patience is not infinite. I feel like I'm at a point where I want to contact the recruiter and tell her to move me to a less chaotic assignment. I can't deal with all the disorganization. I can tell I'm getting stressed because I'm clinching my jaw a little too much and giving myself a headache. I can't wait for any time off. Right now the only appeal this craziness has is the paycheck. It sounds rather mercenary but that's what it is for me. Just the paycheck, no real passion or enthusiasm for the job. Ok maybe a little enthusiasm but very little. Part of the reason is that it's a remote job, which is nice but hard to muster up any real interest. Most days I'd rather do something else with my time. Anyway, I have to pretend like I'm paying attention to what's going on.
