Work Rant
It irks me how I spent my last 20 minutes or so at work(15 of which was after my shift ended) working on answering and documenting a contact form that came in at 5:40pm. 5:40pm yesterday. Why on earth was I the person to answer it? Six people, excluding myself, worked since it came in. Now I understand getting busy and what not (Jeff being the only lead to come in all day, did have quite a bit to do) but how come no one said that there were 3 unanswered e-mails in our inbox? Yes, THREE. None of which arrived after my shift started and all of them at least looked at by someone. I got to two of them during my shift. I didn't feel like spending an extra half an hour just attempting to understand what this guy was talking about (something about password protecting his site for his students). At that point, I had already put in an hour and 15 minutes of extra time at work. And that's on top of an eighteen hour work week. But you know what I did instead? I wrote a note on a sticky saying there was an unanswered e-mail and put it on one of the monitors for whoever opened on Monday so that way they could get to it.

You know what? Sometimes I hate having a strong sense of responsibility.
