so i went back to work today, i had some spring break days off but needed to take care of things today. And so i finally opened some dreaded emails that were not so dreaded after all. i say a lot of negative things so i wanted to share some good stuff,
* i had an inspection last week and made a mistake that i felt i easily could have avoided, i have been trying to improve some things and i took it very hard (the inspector was fair and correct) so when i got the report i responded and asked a question by email, we went back and forth and i was taking it kinda hard so i didn't read her last response because i started getting sick, i read it today and it was nice and positive, i actually burst into tears because i had been so worried
* we planned our school wide after school earth day event! the master plan is ready to go and it was such a smooth planning session, i feel good about my facilitating skills and excited about the event.
* so there is this summer reading project in denver where all the youth read the same book, do activities in their summer programs and meet the author. i am picking up the book tomorrow, shhhh, the mayor will announce it in May officially. i also volunteered to be on the training committee that trains staff from all the summer programs like Boys and Girls club, summer scholars, etc. So i love to train and i can make some connections in the OST world.
* i did a volunteer mediation today, was very nervous, my experienced co-mediator thought i did great, the parties did not come to an agreement after almost 2 hours but that happens, and as much as i get avoidant about conflict i had a lot of fun.
* and i meet with a job coach tomorrow, she is affordable and through a service that comes with recommendations so i had a few people to choose between.
i just feel like maybe the energy is shifting with work, at least i am shifting my energy at work regardless of what others think of my work. i had a revelation this morning, i AM good at many things even if i struggle with others, and when i focus on what i am good at and is fun then i do love my work
