teaching at work

I am foolish sometimes.

I didn't apply for new job at work (slight promotion, noticeable pay increase) at the weird hours (Sun-Thu 10am-7pm) that I mentioned back in April. I got everything written up for the application, then I wanted to ponder some more before clicking the submit button, then work overwhelmed, and I didn't think about it again in time to apply.

Then, I volunteered to work that same shift anyway. Then I volunteered to mentor a new hire, which is normally reserved for pay grades above my current one. So... I'm now doing the job without the pay? LOL I'm a silly volunteer bunny.

Anyway, I just completed the first day of mentorship. I've done training before, but today was not my best work. I'm still trying to figure out the bureaucratic steps to get this worker the needed access to different systems. Onward we go. I'll work on Friday this week too (usually one of my days off) to help train the new person too. Training will be ongoing for many weeks. I definitely want to train this person at a slower pace than I was trained, but I'll ask them tomorrow about the pace and method that's good for them. We want success, not burnout. For both of us.
