It’s hard not to feel sometimes taken for granted, or a little
lost or overwhelmed. Especially with something new. And I am the first to
admit that I have in recent weeks in the new job felt a little out of my depth.
Although after nearly 3 months is it still a new job, is it really just
the job!
Anyway after all this time I'm
still finding my rhythm there, but as I've probably written it’s so much
different than my last place, then again anywhere could have been a lot
different and nicer than the last place of work. What has made it seem
more friendly, more welcoming is when the Head of my department has asked for
reports from me on something and if it hasn't been what he wanted, I haven't
got back an email with 'garbage' 'busha' or sloppy and shameful and no
explanation as to what is wrong. Here in my new office I've received
feedback and explanation of what needs to be changed. It’s quite a
turnaround to receive constructive criticism and also good positive feedback,
whether in one case it was the head of my department walking past and giving me
a thumbs up or walking past with a well done. After the last office and
the atmosphere there, I never believed I would feel comfortable in the job,
that the last place had damaged my confidence in my abilities, but while I'm
still learning and definitely still a little unsure of myself. I feel
more settled and it’s nice if someone is sending an email that my contributions
are being noted.
Socially wise, I've actually
had a nice and busy week, I was planning to be out tonight, but due to
circumstances I'm staying in... Which actually sounds fantastic, so I can get
an early night lol. But my weekend has been really good as have most of
my evenings this past week and it was nice for a change of pace to have a Friday
night with friends instead of my usual stay at home by myself. So thanks
to Ronny and Dana for the invite.
Anyway, I hope you like reading
and leave a comment please, please :-).
