Futility

Just when you feel like you are making some headway in your life, something else is thrown at you. When my company first started our division, things were a little difficult. People were being hired quickley, trying to fill spots and get everything going. Unfortunately, some of the new hires were not very promissing and there were some who really weren't interested in the job once they tried it. Consequently, we had a lot of turnover.

Finally, things are starting to come together.We have a core of people who can be depended upon to come to work, do thier shifts and do thier best. Now we are getting more and more demos thrown at us,especially on Saturdays. We have 16 demo carts and we are getting 21 demos, not counting last minute store demos.It gets pretty frustrating trying to find ways to get everything done. Sometimes it feels like we are being tested until we fail. If that's the case,  what is the point to it all.

It's getting harder to go to work with a positive attitude because I feel like a runner in a race where they keep moving the finish line farther away. I realise that life can be challenging and meeting the challenge can be rewarding, but sometimes it would be nice if you could enjoy meeting one challenge before you're thrown back into the lion's den for another round.
