When I applied for this job, I thought I'd be just editing. But it seems that I have more responsibilities with people than I had with my last job. The last job that I had, all I needed to do was edit, and I mean EDIT A LOT, and to hell with everything that happens to anyone else.
Here, it is team work. And I was placed in a situation slightly higher than most of my colleagues. Considering I was never a transcriber, I felt such a phony, knowing that I am paid much more than average.
When I came in, I had to learn stuff. While similar to my old job, the whole dynamics is different. I have serious socialization problems, and I do not like talking to people that much. It's just how I am and I have no intention of changing who I am, even if social skills is a company metric. Swerte naman nila kung babaguhin ko ang pagkatao ko para sa kanila.
Then my supervisor went on maternity leave. While most of the responsibilities were given to someone else, I had to expand my role and had to talk to people, which I am not comfortable with.
Now she's back. hat's less burden over my shoulders and I can resume to minding my own business. She says I talk more now. I still don't. Hahaha! That is, compared to the majority of people. It's just that when I have something to say, I say it. Normally I get into trouble when I open my mouth, so I am doing them a favor by not doing so.
I should tell that to them one day.
Often, I leave my communications through email, I hate face-to-face communication with a non-friend. As someone said, I write good email messages. I know I can. If there was a job to just send email regarding different topics, I'd apply for that and I know I am gonna be really good at it.
What I am looking forward to do, reading. I have not been reading much since being an editor. I think I have developed ADD, worse than the poor attention span I had before (or since the beginning of time), and have problems concentrating. I am planning to read more non-fantasy. It's been a long time.
I am planning to read Umberto Eco and buy some Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Maybe read some Tolkien I haven' read yet or reread LOTR.
