JAQ Arse


I've always done my best to shirk responsibility and avoid obligation. It's too much pressure. Now don't get me wrong that doesn't mean that I'm lazy and never do get things done. If someone needs help then I'm right their ready to help, and their my friends is the key word, help. Help as in: To give assistance to; aid.
Not to take full responsibility for something. I'm absolutely fine helping and when I'm helping will often actually take the lead on things, so long as people don't realise I've done all the work. I just don't like being expected to do it. Because if nobody expects you to help then they're full off pleases and thank yous when you do. On the flipside however the minute your in charge nobody gives a shit if you get it done, you were just doing your job however if you fail you take full responsibility for failing.

Sooooo I'm sat here asking myself the same question I've been asking myself since this morning "Why oh why by papa smurfs white beard did I agree to this". This being writing the mine and my fellow cohorts JAQ's (Job Analysis questionnaire) which is all part of the governments lovely plan for agenda for change and the final assault in our battle to get fair pay for a fair days work, well not only that they want to give us a big fat pay cut. So now not only is my own job entirely in my hands but so is everyone else's in the department. The only way I can save them as well is by navigating the traps and riddles of the JAQs wording a thirty six, double sided, page document. And it needs to be done by Monday, five days. Five days to familiarise myself with the wording and get bring myself upto speed on a document that has been the down fall of people who have been studying it since 2004.

There's no easy way out. There's no margin for failure. or, rather, there is, but it's not really an option. People are depending on me now and I'm not about to let them down.
