I am very irritable at work today. My manager asked me to work on our boss's daughter's invitation cards. It was mostly fixing someone else's mistakes, and let me just say that I was one super grumpy employee. The task was not difficult or tedious. I just didn't want to do it. I looked at myself and wondered why I reacted so poorly. I had such distaste for doing the job if I were my boss I would fire myself.
I think the reason why I behaved so negatively was that I felt like these weren't my mistakes and I was basically asked to do a thankless job. The person whom my boss hired outside couldn't do the work, so I, as the default back up, had to correct the left-over mess. And I had to do it with my manager looking over my shoulder too. It all felt just a little insulting. Whatever. I redid the files numerous times, because not only I had to satisfy my manager, also I had to pass my boss and that other designer's standards. Now everyone's happy. Except this grumpy employee.
I can't wait to leave this company.
