I've spent the last 4 hours of my day giving people directions on what-how-when regarding my work. I'm off for 3 weeks from work - somehow I feel I've earned it better than the other folks who spend 50 hours a week googling the effect of COVID on our playlists or better yet.. drop mails mindlessly into peoples mailbox simply because they can.
3 weeks off means a handover mail! People will finally know what I've been working on, the amount of open threads that others need to handle while i'm out (doesn't sound so good for my image while I write this) and a reminder to my managers that I'm actually held up and not just switched my status to red when ever they are trying to reach me
An acquaintance is taking my handover for a dear project. He's a no-non sense person (so unlike me). He is on the call for 30 mins and doesn't sum up his talk-time to more than 3. I'm rolling my eyes (Zoom video is off for a reason) and tell him he can reach out if there is any query while I'm on my vacation. I don't think he will .. worse - I don't think he cares about the project the way I do. I call up my colleague and tell him about it.
'You just gotta treat it like work! Its not your baby!' says my friend letting out a gasp of air. I calm down and hang up wondering if I can also handover the baby for few days but then again - I love the chaos that she creates or so am I expected to think
Ah! Such a mess!!
