I was given the opportunity to take all the time I needed to ensure that I was ultimately ready to go back to work. Amazingly still pinching myself, and grateful to have been chosen for this position.
I was very excited to start this new job but scared at the
same time. My energy is still not 100%, it’s barely 50%. The heat drains my
energy like a tipped over glass of water pouring out rapidly and I wasn’t sure
that I could make it a full day.
Honestly, one never goes into a new position because things
are in order and all is well, unless you are the successor of the one who may
be leaving and that is not the case with this job. Which is a-okay as coming in
and fixing things is right in my wheelhouse, which I thoroughly enjoy! Nerve
racking, but nonetheless, love it!
I came into the first day with a plan, and that quickly was
tarnished as I began to discover just how bad things are in the office. As the
days continued, the plan evolved, but was muddled with all the inefficiencies and
inorganization lingering over my office. My only solution was to come into the
office on a day that I could have uninterrupted time to get through all the papers
in the office. I needed things to get organized, right now. So, I planned to
come in on Saturday to make this a reality.
Here’s the caveat, do not allow the new job to get you back
to the hustle and bustle of being busy!
Do not allow the new job to take over your life!
Do not give, give, give without having the balance of
keeping things slow and steady.
Awareness to ensure that I take things slow! -Thank you!
