Most punishing work schedule in the history of man.... (possibly)
Okay, so it might not be *that* bad but it's pretty bad by my standards. Whilst in Seattle (yes I'm still here) I've got used to some pretty late nights and some fairly early mornings for conference calls and trying to span the timezones around the world to support the business as best i can.
At the moment I'm doing a big chunk of training activity for about 300 of our sales staff worldwide. Quite a lot of people you might think... not when you've got about 7,000 of the blighters and only 300 bother to register. I really hate sales people sometimes. Oh well, not my job to worry if they're doing their job I just have to impart knowledge... and impart I have. Over the most gruelling schedule I've yet faced... day begins at 5:30am for training for Europe, Middle East and Africa.. moving onto 9:30am for Latin America and North America, then finishing the day at 6:00pm with the session for Asia Pacific. Now try that, each one lasting 90 minutes, for FOUR DAYS. Then I find out I have to do it again this week... and follow up with support presentations...
bleeurggh.
So that's all a bit rubbish. On top of that they want to send me home before I finished all the really useful stuff.. typical, would bloody well wait until there's something I cant miss out on and then kick me out!!
