Be careful what you wish for.

I am now someone important in my job, and no longer am I a waste of space.

I am also now stressed and run off my feet, and as with every new position in the government, as soon as you start it (or maybe your second day), people assume you know everything right away.

I almost miss the more simple retail jobs that I've had, whereby it was a 2-week training period to learn how to do things like sell and return books. Man, was that a monkey job.
