Work broke 'that' straw.

If you're unfamiliar with the saying, it goes like this, "The straw that broke the camel's back." Now. I don't know the exact origin or meaning of the saying, but from what I can gather, in the context of Camels being devices of transporting straw, the metaphor represents the single piece of straw which quite literally was too much for that Camel to carry. That's me trying to be smart and explain the saying so that the meaning of the phrase and with that, my feelings aren't lost on any of you. This how I feel right now.

  • One foot in front of the other, every day.
    I hope you recover quickly from your broken back, CC. :( -hug-
  • What happened?
  • When you have a new system, you're gonna wanna be trying to have your employees get used to that system,

    for whatever reason, this just never applies to me.

    Right now we're trying out this system to reduce the amount of work later down the line, so far, 2 people have been trained in it for 2 days each.

    Today though, is the day quite literally when we've had an overflow of the work, as in, more than any other day

    so this is the day when I'm suppose to learn the ins and outs of your broken system while the work itself is building up in a way that's preventing me from even doing the work.

  • You can change. You can.
    Awwww...

    Wanna talk about it via PMs or something?
  • I can't say I particularly held any love for this job, but on the whole it was alright for what it was ^_^
    I'll see how I feel about it later, but this kind of behavior has taken place in the past, History repeats itself in a big way here.
  • You can change. You can.
    Was? As in, this...event...thingie, or the work in general?
  • Work in general, bleh, but yeah.
  • Ok, so, final count got in.

    In the end, the workload of an average day is 60-70.

    The workload I got was 150 cases.

    All this and I was supposed to be "training on the system"

    -_-
  • You can change. You can.

    You poor thing. Feel better
  • Hope you get paid per case.

    Work can be stupid.
