Thoughts: ( So, what did you think? )

So much for that respite

I had thought that things would lighten up a little after the conferences were over. We've still got two to go...and one of my coworkers quit. (To take another job.) Which means that I'm frantically trying to learn Marketo to cover his job. (His functions have been split across three people, so I'm only doing a third more job, but that's assuming you are good at Marketo. Which I am not. I've taken the last three days to do what I'm pretty sure would have taken him two or three hours, tops.)

I am not particularly having fun.

I really hope they succeed in hiring a new person soon.
