Change really can be a good thing
So Wednesday came and I finally got to sit down and have a real heart to heart talk with Alan and Cate. I was so nervous. I'm pretty introverted by nature so any kind of confrontational talks don't sit too well with me. Not that this would be some huge confrontational thing, but it was a big deal to me. So much was riding on them letting me have the job. So I started talking to them and pretty much immediately I could tell that I was going to cry. I'm really not sure why, I mean there was nothing that I was really sad about, maybe too much emotional pressure or something. But it all was going just fine until about half way through it and I just lost it. I started crying and them of course couldn't stop. Totally embarrassing I assure you! But it all worked out in the end because I think it showed them that I was really interested in the position and didn't really want to leave the practice to find something new. To make a long story short they were totally supportive with me changing positions. I have to help them find someone else to do the children's program (we already have a couple interviews set me) and then help train them and then I can go ahead and switch. I'm hoping by the third week of July to be all set in the front. Especially once we find the person to take my spot, the training only really takes about one day. At least that's how long it took me. Of course there's gonna be a lot to learn, but a lot of it is just hands on stuff. And I will be available to help her whenever she needs. I'm so excited! I've even started planning on how I will reorganize the front desk, and how I'll make it my own. I can't wait!! And then I've had the last week off of work because of the fourth of July. It's been a great week really. I even got to go to the zoo with my boy. We did get a little rained out, but that's ok. And tomorrow we are going to go see The Pirates of the Caribbean. I'm actually watching the first one now, to get all in the mood! It should be a good way to end a great week. This is the first time pretty much since I've started working that I'm looking forward to going back...well I'm not dreading going back to work. That's definitely a step if you know me at all. I'm still gonna have to do some kids cleanings, but the sooner I'm back, the sooner I can start working in the front. So I guess that's about it for now. I can honestly say that I'm more at peace in my life right now then I've been in a really long time. There are other opportunities opening up in the area of church and friends too so it's all looking great!
