Once in a while, it’s nice to be reminded that you are vastly
more competent and able than you give yourself credit for. Once in a while, management
shitting on, gives you a chance to shine. And despite the fact they won’t see
that, it’s a good reminder to yourself that you do indeed kick ass.
Thanks to my company deciding that holiday cover and sick
cover isn’t a thing they should concern themselves with, I got a reminder that
I’m awesome. I’ve been with my company over 4 years now, my depot has been open
just over 4 years and was one of the 1st to open. So, by default I
am one of the longest serving night operators in the company. And for most of
my shift I am the longest serving on shift. Thanks to that… I know things… Not
things I’ve been training on necessarily, but I have picked up.
Last week, I was running not 1, not 2 but 3 depots, and
these depots weren’t in the same location, they actually couldn’t have been farther
apart. Plus, I was running one of our biggest contacts while doing tech support
on a new system we recently launched. And I smashed it.
I did everything that should have been done, missed nothing
and even got my paperwork done. I received zero thanks for it, but I don’t
care. It’s nice to know, what I’m capable of. Other operators always say I am good at my
job, but I don’t see it or feel it anymore. It’s just second nature. That was a
test, and it felt good. I don’t want to do every day, but I almost enjoyed it.
I am off to drink because that may have gone well, but my
last shift didn’t. What was your last personal or professional victory? Let me
know in the comments below and as always stay and play safe.
Love,
The Honest Bitch
