I think I actually need a planner now.
The next few weeks at work are beginning to blow up. Like, seriously. The first week of April, I’m helping with a refresh Monday afternoon, then going to a Leadership training course for 3 days (T-Th), then flying out Thursday night to upstate NY to help with a standards training (F-Sa), then flying back Saturday evening, and Monday I’m helping with another refresh after work. Plus, my boss is on vacation for the beginning of that week, so it’ll be crazier for me. And then Tuesday I’m getting a massage with L for Spa Week! It’ll be much needed, I’m sure.
Even though my schedule is becoming increasingly busier and is impeding on other aspects of my life (I had to drop one of my FIT classes because of the Monday evening refreshes), it’s great for me, career-wise. The fact that I was asked to assist with the training up in Rochester is fantastic… it’ll be great exposure for me, and a great experience. I had my mid-year evaluation of sorts this week… it’s really nice to get so many praises from all of my bosses (all 3 levels of them). One of the few points of improvement mentioned is that I need to stop underestimating and under-selling myself and really start talking myself up more. I’m just not used to it! I’m not used to actually doing something right. But apparently the clients talk about how great I am, customers like me and my managers and employees all seem to be fond of me as well. So, that’s a plus.
It’s amazing how different my feelings are towards work now, versus a year ago.
