I started my new job last Monday. I'm in "management". There's a lot to do in this new position. A lot of possibility. A lot of good people. A lot of motivation. Then, ironically, totally the opposite. Lack of motivation. Negative energy. Unwillingness to work as a team.
It makes it hard to be an effective leader to both of the extremes.
But I'm working on it.
In the meantime, I've been staying busy doing other things....
Taking the girls on the train at the zoo for the first time last Friday....they LOVED it!!!
Prepping for the semi-annual OPMC clothing and equipment sale....this is just the very beginning of my efforts....as usual we will have a plethora of stuff to sell....
Playing outside for as long as possible at night....which is becoming less and less time since it's now getting dark at 7:45....seriously NOT looking forward to winter!
Livvy found the lion at Aunt Denise's house....I see many fights over the lion in the future...it's very fun to "ride". =)
So, I'm staying busy for sure, trying to adjust to less time with my kiddos and a new set of responsibilities at work. I'm required to work 5 days now, but I was able to negotiate 4 - 9 hour shifts and a 4 hour half day at least. So, I have Friday mornings off with my girls. It's better than nothing.
But that's why it's been quiet here...just in my own little universe....trying to adjust...=)
I'm reading your blogs on my pumping breaks. It's a great escape from my new reality at work. Keep posting ladies, I need my daily dose of you lovely mommas!!!
Until next time -
Megan
Ah yeah, the most trying part of most jobs is usually the people. I'm trying the MoM sale for the first time as well - excited and anxious
