Nowhere Fast

A couple weeks ago at work I got temporarily transferred into a different department. Whereas before I was doing a bunch of chemistry and process engineering, now I'm doing a lot of mechanical engineering and design. It's kind of ironic - only now after working there for six months am I actually doing anything remotely similar to what I was hired ( Read more... )

I can beat that: I'm at the same job level, in the same department, at the same desk, and with 60% of the same list of journals that I had a year ago. And I am doing absolutely NOTHING in the same way that I was when I was hired. Our workflows, workflow tracking systems, invoicing, scheduling, copyediting, and primary responsibilities have all changed. Hell, even our vendors are changing. And I've had to monitor and coordinate the mutilation of my job description, which will be permanent.

I can sympathize on the beaurocracy thing.

Happy early birthday!
