I shouldn't be as tired as I am now. Since the week before last my health has deteriorated a bit due to my eating habits. I've got this thing around my parents where, with the history of always keeping an eye on me - especially what food I eat - I instinctively try to hide it. That bad habit didn't pick up where I left off since Mum left.
With one of our team on annual leave at work, we are now falling way behind with the workload and we're starting to feel it. There's always a lot happening. Investigations into people's problems, listening to loopy customers calling in about their bills from another company (I shit you not), even our helpdesk has gone on annual leave just as the new teams got setup, and nobody seems to know how to do his job - so we have to compensate.
We just had a merge of four teams into one, and I'm doing work that all four of them have to do, including after hours. I'm very tired. Whenever I think about how tired I am, there's only two things I can think of. I asked for this and I can do this.
Walking out after work, it was still daylight at 8pm. The road was still wet with puddles, the cloudless sky was starting to darken, it was getting cold and the tram stop was devoid of people.
The one tram I didn't run up for, despite it waiting at the stop before didn't look like it was going to my place, but the route number and the destination weren't corresponding to each other, and the driver confirmed it was going to my place. The driver announced where the tram was heading, and none of the 12 plus people on the tram flinched at the regular turn-off that I never took since I never travelled the route that the tram initially had before I corrected it. The route number was right, the destination was wrong.
How could so many people not realise something was wrong, or take a random guess that they were going in the direction they wanted? Why did nobody say anything until I did?
I feel like I'm being depended on more than I should be, which, against what I'm sure just about everyone thought, I'm not feeling that great about.
I asked for this. I can do this.
