I had planned on blogging about the whole SOPA thing, but you should all know what that is by now. If not...google it.
Then I was going to blog about parents watching their kids better, but I will save that for another day.
Why?
Well, I found out a secret today that has me totally freaking out! It's one of those secrets that makes everything make sense.
I started my new job back in September. I was supposed to help pull data and put it into the system. I was pretty much hired to be an assistant. Yeah, I was a little ashamed when I realized that. I sat at my computer with nothing to do really, so I pretended to work. Then, suddenly I am learning new things. I am learning new programs and being introduced to a database creating program. I won't say the name because then you might figure out where I work and...I might get in trouble for that.
My coworker, the one that has been teaching me all this stuff has all of a sudden started teaching me everything he knows.
Now, something my dad has always drilled into my brain for...ever. You NEVER teach someone everything you know about a job. Most of the time, you teach yourself the job. And teaching someone everything you have learned on the job is giving that person a way to go beyond what you have taken a while to learn yourself.
At first, when my coworker started teaching me all this stuff I thought he was being nice. I thought he really wanted to help me go far in the company. I totally trust people and take things for face value way to much and way to easily.
Today, my coworker received a phone call today and of course I eavesdropped...a little bit. By the content that I heard I already assumed it was a job offer. When he got off the phone he told me that I should learn this program because I could get a really good job with it and that was what his call was about.
Now, he didn't say straight up that he had another job or that he was leaving so I could totally be jumping to conclusions. But, it all makes sense now. All the pieces are coming together and painting this awesomely great picture of what I am about to fall into. I followed the rabbit and I am about to fall into the rabbit hole!
What is about to happen is my coworker is going to try and cram my brain with everything he can before he leaves me to take on all this work. All of it on me...just me.
A few questions come to mind. Will they bring in another person to help me? Did they bring me in because they knew my coworker was getting ready to leave? Will they expect too much for me? And finally, why did I not see this coming?!
I am going to have to bust my tail to learn these programs before I am left alone to fend for myself. I have so much to learn and understand. OMG! This is going to be crazy. *Panic attack* AHHHH!!!
Wish me luck!
Much Love
Heather
