Lose the battle, lose the war?
I've made some posts recently, both here and in my blog, about some of the absurdity of my job. I'm a fairly experienced technician, I've done deskside and call center work, client systems and servers for the last decade. My current gig is mainly routing tickets to technicians and queues, and wrangling said techs. It's WAY beneath my skillz, but it a) pays more than my last job, and b) is a good path into management, which is where I wanna be.
I often say I'm more like an admin assistant than anything else, and though it started as a joke, it's getting weird.
Last week, I won a victory when the secure cabinets for hard drives came in, the drives are no longer stored in my cube and the walk-though traffic has plummeted.
One of my two direct bosses just put a shredder in my cube. And delivered about 1700 software CDs that need to be shredded. Not snapped, not microwaved (I asked), they have to be shredded. SHREDDED. INDIVIDUALLY
I have been promoted from technical coordinator to office bitch, I'm pretty sure. I'll have to check my next pay stub.
