All Work and No Play Makes RDC a Dull Girl

   I'm honestly surprised I found the time to write this post, but it's important to me to keep to my New Year's resolution. I haven't written one sentence of my book so far this week, but I know I spent more than four hours on it last week. I still plan on spending some time on it this week though. Probably not four hours; I have too much work to do.
   So between continuing my quest to hire 15 people, completing interviews to fill two training positions, making the client happy, and with merit review and invoicing coming up; I'm just overwhelmed. 
   HR is supposed to be doing more of the leg work with hiring, but they have hardly helped at all. I'm the one pulling the applications, I'm the one reviewing them, I'm the one calling the applicants and setting up interviews, and I'm the one completing the first interview. I even complete the new hire paperwork and do the drug test! My management team has been helping where they can of course, but they have their own job to do as well. They actually have a schedule to follow, I don't. 
   I'm constantly told how much I'm appreciated for doing more than my fair share of work, but it would be nice if they did some of their own jobs even if it was just calling the applicants, but that's not going to happen. We only have two people in HR and one is about to go on maternity leave. 
   I just spent the last two hours working on stuff I didn't get to finish at work. I'm going to have to work this weekend on invoicing and merit review because I'm training next week. Oh that's right I forgot to mention. I'm taking it upon myself to not only chose the two trainers, but to train them for their new position myself. 
   Maybe I have a control issue...maybe not, but I think if you want anything done right you gotta do it yourself. I don't like pulling my managers from their teams to train. I already had to pull my night manager from his team this week to train a part time class and I don't want to do that again. 
   The only other trainer I have is busy in her position, saving the company money by fighting fraud cases. She hates training and I hate it when she trains. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to have her cover for me on the first so I can finish up payroll. Since I'm doing most of it this weekend it shouldn't take me too long to do.
  I'm so glad Eleven invited me to the movies on Friday. If it weren't for that I would have ended up working non-stop all week...
