I switched teams at work to be with the tenured reps with good stats. That's an honor and all, but in spite of the three days off I'm granted, it's troubling me.
Like, I work four ten hour shifts now, with an hour lunch - we're the only team that gets an hour lunch - but my coach is stressing me out.
I kind of do my own thing. I talk to the people near me, and I'm friendly and all that jazz, but I apparently don't do it to her standards. Going off at lunch to get food and read seems to be incomprehensible, and she thinks I'm feeling left out. I know she does, because of the things she does, and I don't want to be a dick and tell her that I'm not sad or whatever.
Basically, on my hour lunch, I go driving off and get my lunch. I eat it in my car, with my alarm set for five minutes before I have to be back into work, and read a book on my break, or nap upon occasion. She thinks that I'm scared or lonely or something.
Like, I'm friendly and all, but I like to have some "me-time" in my day, and my hour lunch definitely feels like "me-time."
My new coach is sweet beyond all reason, but I'm a really independent person who doesn't need all of the praise and what-have-you. Like, I'll go to her if I have a weird call or questionable QA score, but aside from that, I just do what I'm paid to do.
To reiterate, she is the sweetest of people, and I have no issues with her whatsoever, but I just want time to do my thing, on my ten hour shifts. Which shouldn't be too much to ask. I mean, I now have three days off (w, th, sun) and never have to work more than two days in a row, but I'm perfectly capable of handling my **** on my shift.
I do have a juvenile crush on another tenured rep on my team (actually, I'm by far the least tenured rep on my team, but I can collect money like nobody's business) but that's beside the point.
I do my job and chat with my neighbors. I'm perfectly contented.
