I'm not sure what's a reward and what's a punishment anymore.
There was once a phylum of paperwork which, though not strictly of my kingdom, at one point fell to me to do.
But the person who once delegated such paperwork to me now has an assistant; and that assistant has reposessed all the relevant files.
That paperwork was hellish. And {occasionally, it can get so that} I'm really too busy {justifying why I ought not bother} to do it.
So I'm thrilled at the prospect of no longer having that responsibility.
Really. And I get extra file cabinet space out of the deal, too.
It is entirely appropriate, right, just and good that the assistant take over said work. It's {finally!} a step in the direction of a well~run office.
But I can't help but feel in that same step I've gotten a step further from Indispensible, and a step closer to Easily Replaceable, Like a Mass~Produced Spare Part.
*argh*
*grrr*
*whuf*
*snarf*
Good things happen & I can't be happy about them.
How can I manage to live happily~ever~after with an attitude like that?
