I just want to preface that I am giving them time to learn and going over things again and again. Like I'm not just being like "okay here's the thing now do it!". It's just super stressful because I only started in June and imposter syndrome and like having to teach someone while I'm also trying to work and I'm only part time.
It's just, a lot.
I was supposed to teach someone "everything" today. It's definitely not rocket science and they did a great job, despite speaking almost no English. I was just impossible to teach them much more than what they could do without training though and I'm still pretty green so yeah, it was touch and go and more stressful than usual, but the new girl showed a bunch of initiative and did a better job than I do in some respects lol. She's so lovely and absolute kudos to my boss to for giving her a job and respecting me enough to guide her. But I get what you're saying, it's a lot. I was just told teach her.
Yeah no that's exactly how I feel. The person I'm looking after is very nice and cool, and like is willing to learn and accept the mistakes she makes (like she'll write in Gold Coast instead of on the Gold Coast, nothing major but you know). Like, yeah I'm doing what I can with only a little over 2 months of knowledge, like in the end it'll be good because then I won't need to do as much as I am now, but I do like the monotony of things.
Blind leading the blind and all.
Yeah exactly! I actually had done one the jobs we had today only once, so none of the fine details were recalled at all. I'm just a bit passed the, it's fine, she's new stage is all. So I can't get away with not knowing my job quite as much.
