Good morning friends
Wow, there's a lot going on out there.
Marcie - What Heidi said, if you are hungry grab a healthy snack. I'm a nibbler so struggle with that all the time. Some days I have to allow nibbles, pink lady apples, clementines and carrot sticks are all favorites. Happy almost weekend!
Heidi - Good thing it's Friday
I' m tossing my snow shoes in the car. My Mom is tutoring Monday morning so maybe I'll sneak out for a walk in the woods.
I wish DW liked it better.
Ruth - It's
definitely a big day
Hope lots of it is fun. I'll tip my wine glass in your direction tonight.
Mathilda - Sounds like you are putting one foot in front of the other and just doing what needs to be done. I'll be thinking of you this weekend. If you get a minute let us know how it's going
Karen- Good luck today. In just a few hours it will be done and you will be on the way back to 100%.
Cottage - Hooray for long weekend
Enjoy your down time
I'm off to my parents for a long weekend. DD will be there tomorrow night too so it will be a late family holiday thing. I hope to get all the information about high speed internet there. DW will get it all set-up when we are there for the big anniversary.
I finally had the talk yesterday and I did quit. My supervisor was great and really supportive and I learned she actually quit a few months ago for similar reasons and adjustments were made. Not a big surprise there were many "we need you on this campaign" "you're doing wonderful/amazing/really great work" and "we will make any adjustments we need to to make this work" from the organization's director and my supervisor. Based on that last one alone I agreed to meet with my direct supervisor (the one person I actually trust) and the organization director to talk about ways to change my job to make it more manageable. Some options include switching to 4 days, removing a county (I have three) or shifting some of my direct responsibilities to other staff and giving me more planning/campaign-wide tasks (like professional development and outreach to "big" targets. I've already been doing some of that). I am clear about the things I need so it should be an interesting conversation. Looks like we will meet Thurs. or Fri. which gives me lots of time to get really clear on what will and won't work for me. When it comes to trust it's not that A is a bad person, it's just that he works crazy hours and is really committed to the work. It's hard for people like that to realize they have unreasonable expectations for other people.
I started the day by spilling coffee and my keyboard is a little funky. I"ll try to get back later
ETA hi Debbie
Okay, turns out that when I took my keyboard apart the shift key went on wrong. All is well, I think
