Job Update

My heart it overflowing with joy about my job. Kinda weird, and I'm sure it won't last, but I certainly hope it does.

We had lunch as an office today to say farewell to one of the employees and I realized just how wonderful it is to work with a group of people who are positive and so caring about health and wellness.

It's just such a nice reprieve from the countless negative thoughts that are seemingly constantly thrown at me (be it from people or media); and to top it off, their specialty is wellness, something I strive for in every part of my life.

Sometimes I feel a little inept (especially when they're eating salads or talking about the race they just ran etc), but they never make me feel that way--I do that to myself.

I spoke with the previous director of the department this morning (she got promoted) and it looks like they're going to try their hardest to keep me in February and bump me up to full-time. I might have to do the happy dance if that transpires. For one, more money; two, health benefits!!

The other thing she said was that she's heard good things about me. Yay! And last week the lady that has been training me said, "Well, we might just have to do one session since you pick everything up so quickly." Another yay!

Something I've learned recently is that I'm really hard on myself. I want to pick things up the first time & when I don't, I beat myself up over it. C says, "Oh, you're doing fine." But he doesn't know, he doesn't work in my office--he's just being the supportive husband. And I didn't realize until recently how instrumental it is for me to hear that I'm doing well.

The only thing I'm still having a hard time with is getting everything I need to get done in the amount of time I have to do it. I'm only working 20 hours a week, so it's definitely challenging.

Perhaps I chose the wrong major after all. ;o)
