There is so much to remember for this job (what to do, how to do it, when to do it, etc). And to make my "newness" so much easier to cope with, I've had to learn how to do other people's jobs, so I could cover them while they're away on holiday.
I'm not complaining, it's just that I've had so much information pushed at me since I started this job, I'm fighting a losing battle with my already terrible memory...
Apparently, I filled in a form to grant me access to a system, so I can do another bit of my job. I say apparently because I don't remember filling in this form. I had to ask my supervisor if she remembered me filling in this form. And I even had someone from the company I had to send the form off to, tell me exactly what my signature looked like.
But still - I remember NOTHING about this form.
There are also a lot of other things I've apparently done which, again, I don't remember.
The worst thing I've forgotten? That it's my birthday on Monday. I didn't realise until I saw the date and thought "Oh, wait, doesn't something happen at the end of this month?". OH YEAH! MY BLOODY BIRTHDAY!
I'm also about to start my NVQ level 2 in Business & Admin. And because my GCSEs are over 5 years old, and therefore completely useless to use as proxies because they're "too old", I need to take a level 1 exam for Numeracy Key Skills and a level 2 exam for Communication Key Skills.
Key Skills level 2 is the equivalent of a GCSE in that subject. GCSEs aren't good enough for me anymore, I want A Level equivalents. So I'm going to push myself and get a level 3 in both Numeracy and Communication Key Skills.
Once I've got the NVQ and the level 3s, I'll be going on to another NVQ (level 3, perhaps? Or maybe I'll do the level 2 in Customer Service...).
Hopefully, I won't suffer a mental breakdown as a result of all of this!
It sounds like you're dealing with a lot! It always takes some time to get settled in a new job though, good luck!
