November was about work. There was some balance; weekends (Mondays and Tuesdays for us) were filled with walking dogs and llamas, playing with horses and computers, spending time with Steve, relaxing in the hot tub all the good stuff that makes it possible to go back to work and power through another week. My new job started auspiciously with a Community Center staff retreat. We faced some personal demons and grew as a team while playing 60 feet up in gorgeous redwoods overlooking Monterey Bay. It was scary. It was awesome. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. It was a perfect way to get psyched up for what proved to be an overwhelming workload. The work is great. The amount is more than I can manage in the allotted time. New responsiblities combined with cutting my seniors hour before hiring new staff, and the mini-crisis of losing one of my computer classrooms right at scheduling time for next semester, made for a frantic pace. I rallied to the challenge and the knowledge it won't last forever kept me going. Steve was great support and overall, I loved it! last next |
