Answer 1

Carefully and patiently explain to your supervisor that there is no way humanly possible for a person to learn the paperwork in such a short time. Assure her that once she trains you, you'll be much more efficient but you need the knowledge to do your job.

It was the paperwork that drove my husband away from his desk job. He was overwhelmed with it and ended up quitting for something he liked much better. You have to speak up for yourself or people will assume you'll eventually pick up what you're supposed to do. Good luck!
