Well, I missed a few days there. I spent a few late nights doing school work, and Friday night by the time I went to bed I was READY to go to bed and sleep. Saturday night I crawled into bed, turned off the light and THEN thought to myself that I forgot to journal. I thought really hard about getting out of bed and making myself do it. But I didn’t, and then Sunday night I was writing a paper (and not doing a great job with it) until 11:53 PM and I just was done when it was done, you know?
This morning I fessed up to the gang about not being consistent every day, but I also said that I was ready to SAS, so here it is. Day one of the new streak.
So Saturday night was my first director dinner. I know that it is going to take time before I really feel like part of the gang, but it just felt not amazing. I’m still not sure if I would have enjoyed Ellinor more had I gone first with someone other than the director team. It was a good meal, but it was not amazing. And it honestly seemed a little dated to me- Parmesan foam, watercress garnish and so much arugula. The conversation at dinner was decent, I just still feel like the new kid.
Second director meeting today. It’s going to take me such a long time to get used to the idea of people talking over each other. Oy, it’s so much. How can you listen if you’re so busy talking?
DIrectoring is going okay. Still feels like a 5 out of 10 to me. My days are slowly starting to take shape. I love connecting with the team, and I am especially loving working with Jose. I am not a fan of the baby steps to get to the full position. Like, I can develop my facilities Coordinator, but I can’t have meetings with my finance coordinator yet because…? No idea why. And I can’t have schedules yet because there are things to fix yet. Anyway, still learning something every day. The film study was neat- the amount of data they can drill down to is absolutely crazy.
Home alone this week, thank goodness. So much better than ten thousand questions about what I work tomorrow and will I make dinner. I am going to have to figure out that routine as well. Soon. Because I cannot handle anymore bad dinner. Hopefully I have a productive day tomorrow. I think I’m going to attempt to time block my day before I go in to work and see how well I can do at following it.
