...while I take this (small) moment to gripe.
Last week I (hesitantly) let my supervisor know that I am ready to pick up a new client, as I need to increase my monthly contact numbers. Some of my current clients are doing well and decreasing their support. She pushed me to take two new people, but I insisted on one for now and letting her know by weeks end when I would take the other.
Monday morning we received an email that one of my co-workers will be off for an indefinite period, and her clients will be reassigned.
So I got three of them.
*headdesk*
I'll be okay. And I sincerely hope my co-worker is alright. Just needed to whine for a minute. I'm done now.
let it out, girl! you support others all day long....let us support you!
