This whole “not being around much” is really starting to get to me. I mean, I read my friends list and such daily, sometimes more than once, so I AM around. I’m just too exhausted to contribute – at this point.
My job has turned into something wonderful, and it was definitely the correct move to make. Mediacom has gone steadily downhill since I’ve left, with the employees bearing the brunt of cutbacks. Rich reports that his group is now working four phone queues at once, plus reports, call backs, etc. They’re remodeling, and the two tech support groups got booted from their cubicles so Sales could move in and take over. Instead, they’re working side-by-side on conference tables. I don’t know which stupid management person came up with this solution, but whoever they are should give up THEIR office and try working that way – for several months, apparently.
Back to my job. The commute is 68 miles one-way, which translates into 2.5 hours of driving each day. I’m so brain dead from the drive that I’m barely functioning at the end of the week.
That’s about to change.
