If you have the time

The Director of Operations asked me if I know how to print 2 calendars back to back without jumping through all kinds of computer gymnastics.  I told him that I would play with Outlook & see what I could find.  His response was, “hey, don’t go nuts, I don’t want to interrupt what you are doing.  If you have time sometime today I would appreciate it.” 

 

I HAVE MORE TIME THAN I CARE TO TALK ABOUT. I’ve suggested that I take over certain projects & have been shot down.  I’ve offered to do some clean up & have been shot down.  I’ve ASKED for more work because I’m bored out of my f*cking mind & have been told that they just haven’t figured out how to utilize me yet.  It’s been 2 months.  I think it’s time to figure it out. They are paying me a boat load of money to sit here & do nothing.  I’ve gone from one extreme to the other. 

 

What do I do all day?  This is what I would put on my resume if I had to do it right now…

 

·        Show Airman how to operate the copy machine

·        Show Airmen how to operate the fax machine

·        Copy and paste my boss’ calendar into a Word document

·        Take my boss’ Blackberry to the Help Desk for repair

·        Put important meetings on my boss’ calendar

·        Open the supply room door for Airman

 

That is all I have done for the last week.  Woohoo. 

 

Really-given the situation I came from I shouldn’t complain.  I prayed for a job where I had no responsibilities.  I had no idea how hard it would be to sit & do nothing. 

 

Today’s workout was legs—high reps so I went lighter than I normally would:

 

Plie squats: 105 lbs

Romanian deadlifts: 65 lbs

 

Step lifts: 15 lbs

Leaning lunges: 20 lbs

Box jumps: 8 risers

 

I followed up with 30 minutes on the ARC trainer & 2 sets of 12 for 3 ab exercises.  I was having a small spasm in my back –which miraculously went away when I took my shower.  However I’m really tight now—once I get up & move I’m okay but it takes a minute.  I must stretch when I get home tonight.
