Feeling like every little thing is against me right now.
I work hard, long hours, at two different jobs. Technically I'm part-time, but I work the hours of a full time employee (or more). Not only because I care, but also because every. Little. Thing. is ridiculously more complicated than it should be.
Outlook is a mess. Half of the features don't work on the desktop program (the ability to make a contacts list simply does not exist, to my knowledge). To make things more fun, I cannot be logged into both my 365 accounts for in the same browser window- even if I sign into the other account, the inbox for the account I previously logged into shows up. It is infuriating and I have to then open a "private" window, but sometimes that doesn't even work (or maybe the original window was private and I forgot...). And forget Microsoft Teams. Just friggin FORGET it.
Similarly frustrating, the two institutions that I work for use the same online interface for students, but they use different versions. So performing specific tasks can be super annoying, especially tasks I only do periodically, like setting up features at the start of the semester. Options exist in one version and not the other, and I can never remember which one.
Not to mention that since I get the leftover scraps in terms of picking classes, I have ended up teaching 8-8 on Thursdays. There is no way to handle that gracefully. No matter what I do, by the end of the day I barely know what I'm saying, and it's a miracle that I haven't lost any of the three dozen papers handed in to me every Thursday.
I know that some people might look down on me and assume that I don't have much responsibility. After all, I don't have to do student advising, research, or volunteer for hiring committees.
But I feel like I'm doing a lot.
