Sympathy can be a good thing!
After talking to my friend Erika about my situation at work, I feel much better. She used to work at a daycare too, so she was able to sympathize with me. She knows what it's like dealing with that kind of management. I'm so glad I got the chance to talk to her. I haven't been able to talk to her in awhile, we've been playing phone tag. We were able to catch up and both of us have had a rough week at work this past week. It's always nice to have someone who knows what you're going through! They can understand so much better about certain things. So...I'm just hoping that next week will be a lot better. Some things got done in my room that were issues Melisa (my boss) had problems with. And if I just continue getting these little projects done, along with making sure the curriculum is going smoothly, too, I should be okay. Next week is when the new program specialist will be starting...that should be interesting. She was a teacher at another KinderCare and maybe she'll be able to give me some good ideas, rather than patrionizing and harrassing me about it! Anyways, I feel much better about everything. Hopefully I can continue on with this good mood!!
