Leadership is something that can be innate or learned through experience. For me it is a little of both. Today was my second day of being the team leader at work and I am finding out there is a lot to know. Today I was spending time with the human resources director at work for some leadership coaching. My position is a supervisory role so there are some institutional and personnel procedures involved in the job. I also did some data entry in updating our team stats so spreadsheets will become a greater part of my responsibilities. My new job will be good in time, I just need to be patient and allow myself to have growing moments. Tomorrow is another day, lets see how it goes.
Figuring it out
It is a good feeling when you figure something out that has been vexing you. We got a new printer on Sunday that works with our Chromebooks using Google’s Cloud Printing service. I spent a few hours on Sunday trying to get the thing to work. Well It drove me to tears a little (I was also tired still from vacation) so I didn’t worry about it yesterday because we had Zumba and not enough time to fool with it. Well today after much research using Google I was able to figure the thing out and make the printer work wirelessly. I am glad that it is working now so we can print with ease. This is indeed the age of wireless.
I miss her everyday. It’s almost been a year since she left us. She is among the saints in Haven.
My first day
So I didn’t run off anyone today at work on my first day as team leader…that’s a good start, right? Let’s see how tomorrow goes.
I got nothing
Yep, I want to post something but I got nothing, nothing I say. So I guess nothing is now something. I didn’t post yesterday because I was frustrated with a printer and the realization I was going back to work today. End of vacation blues and all that. I hope each of you had a swell day today.
Reflection on leaving for vacation
There was excitement and anticipation about our vacation. We were going to get on a plane to head to Florida for some fun in Orlando. It was the first plane trip I had taken in 25 years.
This morning as I reflect on the events of last week I think to myself did it really happen? And I can say by all the photographic evidence and souvenirs we brought back that it indeed took place. Vacation of 2015 will be in my mind and in my heart for a long time.
