tingelIt's Sunday. And I just spent 7 hours going over / proof reading work instructions and process directives. And that after a whole week of 12-hours work days. My contract says something about 8 hours a day. Do I get overtime compensation? No, sir!
Okay, this week was extreme and (hopefully) an exception. My new co-worker who is first responsible for payroll (I only assist her) got sick while I was on holiday. And she's probably gone for at least a month. This left me with a huge mess. There was the payroll which is at least a two-man job and all her projects which are due now but are behind by at least two weeks. Fun! And I'm not even starting about all the emails and stuff that gathered in my inbox while I was on holiday. My co-workers and my boss were very well meaning and didn't recall me from holiday. I wish they had. I could have sorted some of this out before. :sigh:
But...
My holiday was great. I was totally lazy. Ischia, island in the golf of Naples, is beautiful. And the weather was great, 30-35 C, sun everyday. In the meantime it was cold and rainy here in Germany :snicker: I had lots of time to read and when back home to watch stuff I wanted to. Very relaxing. I was a bit worried before that it would be strange to travel alone. Most people show up in pairs. But it was fine. I think I'll do it again next year. Maybe to Turkey.
