The workdays are zooming by. Branch busiest in the region, which is good for job security, just hard to catch my breath! Most amazing clinical staff- I thought the worst partof this job would be having direct reports but these folks are smart, caring, responsible, respectful; just the kind of people Id want to be taking care of my sick family. Such a nice break from some of the burned out corner cutting creeps that I have dealt with in the recent past.
My reward for learning fast has been extra work to clear the plate of a colleague who is overwhelmed and not dealing with busy very well. Im hoping if she can feel caught up she'll calm down. Its hard to work with someone who is worried out loud all the time and needs to ventilate about how busy she feels constantly. Im trying to figure out what to put at the door to my office to cleanse the people who walk through- sort of like those things that hose down the trucks at the entrance to an orange grove.
The Administrative staff are unhappy that the director has finally woken up and realized that the clerical people really shouldnt be in charge of the office, and they blame me for that, but humor, chocolate, recognition, perseverance and a honey pot are my strategies, and one way or another, it will work out. The commute is pooping me out though, one hour each way is alot. Saturday we start looking for houses again, and we hope to be somewhere else by March 15.
Have been awakened at 3am every night for over a week now. I dont know what Im missing. Doing daily breathwork, keeping up with ancestors, working the starwalker stuff... last night I actually got up and went out to the living room to see if there was anything to see or hear there, but nothing. This usually happens as we get closer to seership, but not this soon. Nothing too unusual in the dreaming-so I dont know, but it sure is getting tiring.
Coven dynamics change again. Dedicant reveals she has no aspirations of moving any further on for a long long long time and 1st asks "what if I never go any further"? At least they admit or realize that forward motion isnt really happening right now, so I dont need to worry so much about progress, or lack, or whatever. I think the 3 thirds will focus on our own growth and help the others along but with different goals. Finally.
Home is so good right now. Always working on "maintaining"- home, relationships, etc, which he says I dont do, and its much easier now when Im physically present. Its nice.
Looking forward to EMLC meeting this weekend. Hoping for low drama year and productive relationships and growth of the council. Such good people! And the one tool who seems to be picking constantly wont be there, so all will be good.
Time to pet the doggies!!
