I've been remiss in my blogging. At least it seems like it to me. I realize that the last blog I posted was on Friday but since I wrote it on Tuesday, the last time I actually sat down to write was Wednesday. So it feels like a long time since I have written anything. Which sucks.
I got a promotion at work. Yay me! It's going to be very challenging, very exciting and very hard. I have only worked at the new property one day, but since that one day a week ago I have been working on putting out fires and taking care of stuff for that property almost all day every day.
Keep in mind, I'm not complaining. I asked for this, I thrive in situations where there is always something going on. I work best under pressure and when people have high expectations of me. Being bored is a surefire way for me to mess something up. Since I am a pro at procrastinating I also will put tasks off on purpose just so I can have a bit of pressure while working.
Still not complaining. I love having seven employees. I love getting to figure out the nuances and personalities of my new bosses and owners. I love the challenge that a whole new demographic of residents gives me.
This promotion is a huge opportunity. It's going to be exhausting and hard and I'm sure that sooner rather than later I am going to be complaining. Hopefully, I'll somehow find the time between putting out the fires, baseball (which just started in full swing) and everyday life to take out a few minutes more than once a week to blog. Six paragraphs and I already feel more ready to face the day than I did fifteen minutes ago. It's kind of like therapy.
Now, I have to go get ready for an owner visit at my new property. I'm ready for this. Taking over like a boss. Oh, wait, I am the boss...
Hi Mrs. Swartout.
ReplyDeleteMy son, Christopher, and your son attend school together at OLL.
Chris was invited to PJs birthday party tonight (1/24/2014). Unfortunately I do not have an address, and I found your blog by googling your name from a business card of yours that PJ gave my son.
If you could, please call our family at (360) 256-8964, or email me at jdmcnichol@hotmail.com.
Thank you,
John & Jeanna McNichol
