Nov. 5th, 2020 06:46 amOne of the larger branches in our system has been struggling in the last couple of months - a couple of their staff are out long-term for various reasons - so my branch has been cycling one person there a week for the past few weeks. This week is my week.
It is, in fact, the branch I used to work at before moving to Kingston full time, so I know some of the people there and am somewhat familiar with their layout (though they've extensively remodeled since I left), so that part's not too bad. But it's still extremely stressful, being in a branch where you don't really know where things are or how they do things. Plus, they are very much busier than my branch is, in a very physically demanding way, so I have been exhausted all week. And, on top of that, they keep their branch extremely warm all day long, so I end up doing a lot of physical work in the heat every day and ending the day by feeling ill.
And today, a group of people from Collection Services are coming to do inventory all day.
I am extremely tempted to call in sick. Except that I don't know the procedure for doing that at this branch anymore.
