It’s weird – I’ve got essentially … one main job, one secondary job which was one person’s main job before he quit, and essentially another fistful of *other* tasks to do that are essentially support for other people. AND I’m taking care of a coworker’s tasks while he’s out on a long-scheduled vacation that his manager didn’t know about, and had fully scheduled him for. Fun!

I suppose that’s what I’ve ended up doing at all my other jobs. At Sega, I was doing the work of at least three people, while also working two other jobs. At Fox Group, I didn’t do multiple people’s worth of work, but I did a huge variety of random stuff – enough so that it would have been difficult to find one person who could have done all the stuff I was doing. It’s just strange – I know a lot of people do a lot of different things at work, but I think that looking around, I’m definitely doing a wider variety of stuff than most. Which is good, and I enjoy it, with one exception:

If it were just the work, I think I’d really enjoy it. But because I’m essentially doing three people’s work right now, I’m beholden to a number of different managers, and schedules, and the *meetings* take up so much of my time, I’ve taken to actually scheduling chunks of time so that I can work on a single thing at once, without being rescheduled for other meetings. It’s *crazy*.

Entertaining, though, and fulfilling, so long as I can keep my head above water… 😛
