Looking up…Again

I was feeling angry and frustrated about my job this week.  I finally had a meeting with my boss and told her that I did not want to do what I had been doing anymore.  I don’t like being a secretary and I wanted something challenging.
She had no idea I was still working on the stuff I was working on.  Apparently the other PMs I have been supporting were told before my return that I was rolling off and they were to support themselves.  They didn’t mention this to me.  Gr.  Shame on them!
I’d already started pushing back on their requests, this gives me more ammunition to push back more. 
Plus, the new PM I am working with is wonderful.  She gives me work to do, actual PM deliverables!  I’m creating a schedule for the first time.  I’m working on a resource plan and org chart.  And she has faith that I will get these things completed for her! 
I have faith in my boss, I really do.  I am realizing that I need to communicate with her more often when I am feeling frustrated. 
If she can fix it, she will.
