Feelings of Stress with Workload

In the early days of my working career, I was eager to prove myself in an office environment. Soon, I found myself working as a legal secretary and bookkeeper. It didn’t take long for the office to recognize my skill set as they added more and more tasks to my day. Before I knew it, I was assigned payroll duties for three companies; one having over 250 employees. Payroll required me to complete taxes and human resource activities. Balancing my days between the legal secretary work and accounting was busy. I was asked to full the executive secretary role, along with all my other job duties.

After ten years of hectic life at this particular company, I decided it was too much so I moved to another office. To my amazement, the office I left had to hire 3 people to fill my shoes. That made me feel good about my capabilities and was a sign as to how busy I really was.

I certainly was overworked during that time, I had a tendency to put myself in that situation. Now that I’m older, I only work part-time and it’s the best scenario for me.
