I have finally come to conclusion that this blog serves as a place to vent frustrations in my everyday life. Not the content I had hoped to write. The frustration today is feeling slighted at work. A new person has just joined our department. I'm the person who is responsible for the computer training and the other lead technician orients new employees to the many types of specimens we receive & process (excluding assisting with autopsies). Today this other lady who in billing sits at my desk & proceeds to show this person how to do billing/registration. This woman, while very nice, likes to act as a know it all but has no clue how it pertains to what we do in our lab. My boss didn't mention that this lady was going to train the new person. Another of my co-workers asked me why so & so was doing the computer training. She got upset that this person just stepped in & took over, called our boss & said that it's my (meaning me) job to do the training. Then she acted like I was somehow shirking my duties because she knows I hate training even though I've been told I'm an excellent teacher. We get along great & I really enjoy working with her but she just acted so disgusted with me. As much as I like her, she's one to create drama among many of our co-workers. I hate conflict & get along with everyone but this oftentimes puts me in the middle of the battle. Awkward for me indeed. It seems like I was the target today. I skipped lunch since we were crazy busy & when everyone else came back from lunch I felt like I was the redheaded stepchild. I got the impression that people were giving me the cold shoulder. Everyone takes their job very seriously & if it appears you are slacking people say you aren't being a team player. We are all dependent on each other to get our work done. If one person doesn't do their part it trickles down to everyone else. I didn't feel like it was my place to butt in & when I asked my boss if this lady was teaching the new person he said yes since he needed me on my scheduled rotation because we had such a large caseload today. I just did as I was told. Tomorrow I'll probably talk to my co-workers since we have an excellent work relationship. I was just too angry today to say anything. One lesson I learned is I need to calm down before I say something I'll regret. Reading this it sounds so petty, but I've never had that type of chilly reception from my co-workers. Maybe I'm just being hypersensitive.......
