Being a Newbie at [censored]

Does this not frustrate some of you? The hardest part with being the "Freshman" at a company, is

1) having to deal with the constant correction/training process

2)getting the 'crap' [censored], the stuff you don't have a choice in doing... you just have to do it (the understood job description)

3)you take holiday when everyone higher than you isn't...not leaving many options left for you

4) if you do make travel plans, and your boss needs you... TOO BAD!

I was due to fly home this weekend (yes, the US), to spend the Thanksgiving Holiday w/ my family whom I haven't seen since MARCH, but my boss decides I should postpone the trip one week (screw the holiday...its not a Dutch one, so what does it really matter) to go to some conference (no not to do any [censored], just 'represent' our agency...smile and greet people) in FAR south Germany of ALL places...

oh well, at least i get to see my sister this week...which helps the homesickness. What's the saying...just grin and bare it....i guess...
