Not anxious or depressed--at least not from work, so I didn't know where to put this. I guess I just need to vent. I love my job. I am a clinical research administrator for a cardiology group in Michigan. I also am the EMR administrator for the same group (EMR=electronic medical records, I do the computer programming). I have also become the ipso facto assistant manager/front desk manager/in house IT person/do month end financial reports, etc etc. Many hats I wear, but who doesn't?! Anyway, last year the "title" of assistant manager was taken away (oh, darn) because someone at one of our satellite offices didn't think it was right, and because the doctors wanted my manager (who is also the practice manager) to be more hands-on. Fine with me, my plate was overflowing. Over the past 6 months or so, though, more and more has been coming back to me. I spend days and days doing reports for the doctors and then they complain that patient enrollment in studies is down, or their form they requested two days ago isn't in EMR. Now I can time manage with the best of them, but this is a no win. They want reports done ASAP, I do them. Anyway, sorry, off track. My complain today and what is stressing me out is the little things: the printer won't work, we need more postage added, let so-and-so know we need to move Dr. H's appointments for next week. My thought on that is--in the time it took for you to tell me to tell someone to do it, you could have told them yourself. Example--yesterday three people came to me to say there was a problem with the postage meter. I asked my manager if I could have one of our techs, who do 100% nothing if they don't have a test scheduled, call PB on it because I didn't have time. Her response made me feel good, but pissed me off, too. She said, "no, if you do it I won't have to think about it again. I know it'll get done." Great, but I can't even see my desk and now can't concentrate and I'm just really stressed and frustrated and sore and don't know why I even posted this. Just to complain, I guess. One of my lovely features! Grrrr.
