New Guy

Why do I get explosive, enraging jealousy whenever anyone else at work gets to do something fun? Does this happen to everyone?
So the fun thing to do around here (at least to me) is an SMT. You have to get up at 4 a.m., go down to the studio, and run around answering phones and connecting things in the studio while our talent goes live on-air for three hours. I just did my first one a few weeks ago, nearly 2 months after I started. And now the new guy gets to do one on Friday! He's only been here a week. The only reason they're not having me do it is because I already did one this week, and I'll have 2 early mornings next week. Still. Getting up at 4 does not bother me. And shouldn't they ASK me if I want to get up every day at 4? Maybe I'd say yes. Maybe I'd rather be down at the studio that in this cubicle-filled flourescent drudgery every day. I'm really GOOD at doing SMTs. I want it. I want it now.
I think it's just that I'm insecure. I'm afraid that someone will do something better than me. But really, with this new guy, I don't have to worry. He's not a fast-moving or fast-thinking fella.
