28 January 2005 10:05I am definitely tired of being made to feel stupid at my job.
I have been only partially trained on some of my new duties, the cataloging system sometimes loses part or all of an hour's (second, minute, day) worth of entries, and I am expected to realize things that may or may not have been in the system (see above note about losing work). I am not a Luddite, I understand the vast portion of my job, and I often know when I have done something (like checked in an item that has miraculously disappeared). I get asked why I didn't do things, when it is not always true that I didn't do them. Sometimes they just went away. This program has a tendency to lose its connection with the server. When it does that, then there is not always the obvious initial clue that shows you that sometime went wrong just then. However, that is when the data is lost. It usually happens one to two times a week. Sometimes I notice it early enough to remember what I was working on and double check that the last item I entered was still there. Just as often I don't.
I love computers. Heck, I even love this program. However, there are some times when I think it is not nearly as well designed as I would like it to be.
