In my 10th month at this job

Been very tired this week.  Recently recovered from flu, I had to work doubly hard due to missing a day of work.  If not for national emergencies like SARS and H1N1, who would you compassionate towards you for being sick?  Sick doesn't mean your work goes away.  Sick means you got double the work on monday.  Is it so strange to understand why people go to work, sick?

Then there's the mounting frustration over being trapped in a cycle of doing administrative work and yet expected to deliver on project work anyway.  If I don't, I won't appear to have done "work". 

So, I'm very busy doing "nothing" and getting frustrated and drained in the process.  It didn't help that there's ad-hoc requests from management to report on our work.  Report on what?  Report on me doing "nothing"?

This needs a rethink.  Whether I want to move vertically or horizontally.
