ALLLLL day, not that I tend to do too much of that. However I have been so easily distracted by directing staff and talking to parents that I have not completed the BIG TASK. So many time dependent task are related to the BIG TASK that I just worked on it. About 10 hours with very few breaks and I got it done, OMFG. Part of it is that I was gone last week when the big roll-out came for the big task, and people did parts of it for me. I have been working on catching up since I got back on Monday. I am NOT a paperwork person, this was so much discipline to stay in my seat and do it. Tomorrow are all the extremely time sensitive things related to the BIG TASK,
Meanwhile I am almost done with the summer supervisor who has been with us the entire time. She came in the other day and asked why everything was out on tables. Well because our large cabinets are being replaced so we emptied them. Then she wanted to know what was being done. My assistant showed her the progress they had made. I backed her up and said I wanted her to work on some planning (she is also very pregnant so i try to balance her work to be more comfortable) but the supervisor just kept pushing. I ended up having to leave to help my daughter and because I am going very high on hours so I didn't fight it. This morning I came in and realized I was actually angry. I had a plan and a reason and it is my site. It wasn't just redirecting my staff, it was that she made everyone feel like they hadn't been doing a good job. I am sure there was some slacking, but I was deep into that BIG TASK already.
Being angry was better, I stayed focused on task instead of trying to pretend I wasn't angry and then making more mistakes.
