Frustration

I have always prided myself on NOT bringing my work home. Not just paperwork, etc. - I've never brought my left over frustrations home with me. I've always been able to leave them at work and chalk it up to corporate's problem, not mine. That has been difficult to maintain in the past couple of weeks. I've been anxious about returning to work on a Monday. I am always irritated about something - and so many things have been going wrong that are out of my control that I'm always looking around for "what's next?".

I resent this change and hope it is temporary. My office is undergoing some technology changes so there's a reason for the issues. But I'm realizing any time a business, or a person for that matter, undergoes major changes, those changes also serve to spotlight what issues have always been there. And so often, we ride out the changes, and then go back to our normal routine, without addressing the problems that are there - new system or not. If a system is disorganized, they'll still be disorganized long after the changes. If a husband and wife fight about chores in the old house, they'll most certainly fight about them in the new one (unless of course a maid is included :) ).

Anyway, no real point to my rantings - they're just general observations about human nature. Hope everyone is having an easier week that I have! Feeling frustrated too? - if you've been able to answer your phone, print from your computer and protect very important documents from being erased by the IT guys - then you're having a better week than me!
