So far So good

It's been almost five weeks now and I'm wondering when this job was supposed to get hard. They keep piling on more responsibilities every week and acting like this is serious stuff. I see now why they get temps to do this, but I'm wondering why they pay us this much. On the other hand I see so many people struggling with it and getting fired for not making quotas, workers and supervisors alike (most of my supervisors are temps, too. Go figure.). I now help run one department and work in another, yet I still get bored and end up clock-watching. It's hard to be pessimistic when things are going so well, but I know it's not going to last. I will soon reach my level of incompetence, whereever that is in an office environment.

Anyway, just checking in. It's been a while since I posted, so touch base with me.
