There are times when I adjust quickly to new life situations....this is not one of those times.
I worked for Guardsmark for just shy of two years...I've been at Sedgwick for 3 weeks.
I am freaking out.
I've gotten so used to being in the mindset of things being done quickly and perfectly the first time that I am having a serious issue with how things are going here. They're great! I'm just the one who is severely messed up.
Case in point: My wonderful new Irish boss asked me over 2 hours ago to take this guy's resume and turn it into a bio on our company tempate. Done. I can do this in my sleep. Do you even KNOW how many bio's I had to make up while I was at Guardsmark for top level executives? A ton! Surely this will be a piece of cake.
But it's not a piece of cake. The guy has written his resume backwards with his oldest jobs listed first instead of the other way around. I don't realize this until I'm half-way through. Whoops. Editing......editing.....editing. Good? I've been working on this an hour and a half, surely they think I've been playing around and I should finish this up and send it to them now. So I do.
And then the guy comes back and tells me that I've gotten his job responsibilities all mixed up. He offers to go in and correct the mistakes for me. DANG IT!!! Now my boss surely has to think that I'm an idiot. I can't even take some resume bullets and turn them into a bio without screwing everything up. She'll never give me anything to do ever again since I've just proven that I can't even handle this simple task.
Guy sends his changes back. I make some ticky minor changes and resend. Everyone says "thanks for both your hard work on this...." and that's it. Done. No talking down to me because of my misfire the first time. No sarcastic remarks about my talent. Nothing but a thank you.
What in the world is this place?!?!?!?!?!
Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.
