HIVE training - I’m not ready for it.

[MuchTooMuch1966]

I’m not sure if this is just a rant, to get things off my chest, a hand hold needed, or a slap in the face with a wet kipper and told to woman up, but please bear with me.

I am NHS admin working in a busy outpatient department in an acute hospital trust.
Things have just been bang bang bang recently what with covid, changing trusts halfway through covid, so using different systems, and now it’s HIVE training to replace PAS (Patient Administration System) which has been used for many years which I use 98% of the time.

I have been given a date for HIVE training and info to look at what is involved, but I just haven’t got the energy to look at any of it. I don’t feel ready.

Sounds daft as I have no choice but to do the training, but I feel like I haven’t quite got over when covid struck and all the extra things we do for that.

This is also on top of an upcoming appraisal which I need to fill the appraisal form out and I’m not even getting very far with that.

I appreciate many others feel that way (in any career not just NHS) re: covid, but it’s all just too much, hence the username and year I was born.

I know some of it might be menopausal brain fog also, but I wish it would all just go away.

Loads of people don’t like change because it’s all new and whereas you could do ABC without a worry it sounds like you’re just a little concerned that you’ll be quick enough to get info as before/m. Don’t worry, everyone will be in the same boat.

Thank you.
You are right, everybody will be the same boat.
Just too much going on at once.

Ha ha ha, you could be me! I’m the same year of birth too.

i think you get to a point in your life where you just can’t be enthused about work anymore, can’t be arsed with the politics, struggle to keep up with the technological changes as easily as the young ones and just don’t want change.

I work for a fast moving company in a technological part of the business. I’ve had decades of adapting to change and embracing it, but now, nah, CBA anymore.

counting down to retirement.
