I recently was hired part time to help do A/V work at an organization. There's a lot of sound boarding, a lot of talking to people, and a lot of watching my boss do things.
That last one is bothersome for two reasons:
1. I know that I have a lot of this skills they're looking for (I think that's why they hired me) so I know I can do things. And yet, no one trusts me to do anything on my own.
2. There are few things I find more frustrating than having to sit back and watch someone do something worse than I would.
I'm not trying to be arrogant, I just know where some of my gifts lie. So it's hard watching my boss type up something that's not even formatted consistently. I just want to scream, "DON'T YOU KNOW KNOW HOW TO FORMAT?!" but instead I refrain myself and sit demurely in a chair. Over and over. Watching typo by typo go by without saying a word.
Ah, the joys of being a new hire. I know I'm complaining. I know. I also want it to be known that I am grateful to have a job. It's just this weird waiting for people to trust me period that's kind of annoying.
