Just Breathe

Nov 04, 2004 13:45

Do you ever have a day where you just need to take a deep breathe? A day when you need to stop and take a moment to collect your thoughts? I'm having one of those days. I'm having one of those weeks.

I started my new job this week. After five years of management at WakeMed, I've stepped down into a technical role which I am better suited for in the long run. I'm in this period of transition from one job to the other. I have to remind myself occasionally that I don't have to think like a manager. I can think like everyone else. I don't have to take responsibility for things that are not under my control. My scope of responsibility is significantly smaller. I'm thankful. I was tired of carrying the weight of the department and the success of the hospital on my shoulders.

I went to DC this past week. It was nice to get out and spend sometime with my friend Kris. He and I have come a long way from when I first became orthodox. While he's not a convert yet, he's coming along nicely.

This is my least favorite time of year and while I attempt to see the joy in the holidays I usually end up miserable or making someone else miserable. I will be glad when January is here. I can get on with my life.
