Gosh I feel you. I'm used to talking a little bit with my boss for the occasional question or to ask the freelancers to do things, but I've been training someone who is my underling (Iunno what to call her tbh, underling sounds fun) and it takes up so much of my day. She's on holidays but she comes back tomorrow so I imagine I'll have to do that again. And then having an Uber driver talk to you, like please don't, I just want to get home. Today's driver wasn't so bad, yesterday's was non-stop.
I enjoy training people in terms of the engagement and reward of seeing people learn something new, but I am absolutely WRECKED by the end of even 2 hours unless I am extremely well prepped. Accomplished but wrecked.
I have been around people so much today - and have another few hours of actively engaging with people tomorrow - that I'll need to isolate all of Thursday and Friday lol. Seriously considering an out of office message
Gosh, yeah no that sounds so exhausting!
