Tired, but work is going well
I am exhausted. Last night I fell asleep on our spare bed about 8pm. Then I woke up groggy and grumpy, so fully clothed I moved into my own bed. I woke up around 9:45 because I could hear Evan watching Will and Grace, so I moveed upstairs to the sofa and slept/watched Will and Grace. I made my way back to my bed just after 10. I woke up at 6:30 this morning, still tired.
But, things at work are going from strength to strength. I am glad I am working in a place where my managers recognise my strengths and skills. It is a new experience and I realise how much I can enjoy a job where I am given more and more responsibility as time goes on.
In September I start full time Mon-Fri. NO MORE WEEKENDS! I met with my ‘new’ manager this week…I have worked with her all year, but she has not been the person I reported to, we just shared an office. We basically wrote my job description together and since then she has been including me in all the decision making. Today, I even interviewed a potential member of staff to replace me on weekends!
It is exciting, but I also know that I have a lot of growing to do. One of the responsibilities I will have is dealing with all crisis management and discipline with all the residents. I was told this week, with much wisdom, that it will challenge my personal relationship with God in my new role, because I will be so much more involved in the day to day care of the residents and their discipline and running of the house. I can’t wait to see how far he can take me and how much he can teach me!
