In just a couple of days I will
hit the three month mark of my new position. *They* say don’t make a judgment
on a new job until three months have gone by.
I was offered the position back
at the beginning of August. First day here was the 24th. So far so
good but the position does come with some new challenges. I keep reminding
myself of the same type circumstance 9 years ago when I moved to my last position.
I keep reminding myself it took me time then, too, to decide that I liked the position
and the move wasn’t a regrettable one.
I keep reminding myself.
The challenges were what I was
looking for in a new position. I mean, I was in my previous spot for 9 years.
That’s a long time actually. I had begun to feel as though I had done all I
could, exhausted every idea I had, trained those that would come after me well
enough. There are days when I look back and question that, but really to no avail.
You can’t change it. You can’t go back.
The challenges, though, have
been, at times, just a couple times, overwhelming. Not overwhelming unbearable.
Just overwhelming, why did I get myself into this? Or better yet, what did they
set me up for? At times I’ve looked around for a hidden camera wondering if
there is someone, somewhere playing a joke on me. Yeah, those kind of
challenges.
But, so far, the staff has been
mostly welcoming, the Guests mostly friendly, the Boss motivating and
encouraging, and the work right up my alley.
So, for now, I guess, I’m looking
forward to the next 9 years.
