Out in the world
Well i’ve survived and enjoyed my first week at work. It is very different from the job i thought i was going to be doing , but it is very interesting and i’m happy to be in this role. I work as part of a team collating performance figures from the different aspects of the Vacant Management Unit, and try and find out why targets have been missed, and find ways of improving staff training and development. Great stuff to get my teeth into. Of course i want to run before i can walk, and i have a lot to learn about procedures and computer systems…all of which i want to know NOW! It is odd leaving home in the dark and returning home in the dark, so it was lovely to see the back garden today - and to see a robin hopping along under the bird table.
I’ve been tired but not as tired as i feared i would be. Ray has fortunately been off this week so he has taken over making supper and doing the shopping. I think that’s been quite helpful fo Masiy, she can get used to me not being here all day, but have Ray around for company.Ray has spent the last 2 days in Narborough on the last part of the Bodhi retreat at the Buddhist House with friends - i’m looking forward to hearing all about it this afternoon when he returns home.
The temperature has dropped throughout today and heavy rain batters the study window as i type. I’ve just finished my second assignment for college, and i’m now working on teaching myself Excel for work on Monday. I could be feeling bored, but i feel too excited about being back out in the world again.
