adjusting
To this new job, the commute, the people, office politics, using a whole different set of skills.
Its going ok. Big change from being the best at what you do, the go to person, feeling confident about most (work) things every day to worrying about taking too much of someones time to be taught something new, or making a mistake that will impact business. Im not going to make a mistake that will impact patients, but I dont want to irritate sales people or referral sources or the poor folks who report to me. This will take time, thats all. Good muscles to stretch, I guess. Fucking bean counters who think that sitting a new person in front of a computer can completely replace someone to explain things and answer their questions, but that has been the way of every healthcare Staff Development job I have ever know of, eventually. It was an awesome ride while it lasted.
Its so nice to be home every evening. After a year of being away 4 nights a week, it is taking some adjusting of routine, but Im really glad that R and I still enjoy each others company. My good friend who was the lone one left behind on the Regional Team was telling me last week she feels like a visitor in her own house on the weekends. No job is worth that.
Building relationships, takes time. ugh. and work. double ugh. more muscles to stretch. My presence has helped the branch to have a profitable first week of the year, one of very few branches in the company to do so well, so that's job security. This week its not so bad going there each morning, so I am optomistic.
Now, if I can just get that data entry lady not to scream at me when I change the thermostat....
