It's been a while. There have been a lot of major changes in my life. I'm creeping into some pretty scary digits age wise, and have been rethinking priorities. You'd think the words would be flowing out of me like a burst water pipe but I'm out of practice and I feel more like a hair-clogged drain. You've been forewarned.
I guess I'll start with today.
It's Employee Appreciation Day. I didn't even know that was a thing until I received an email from the Executive Director with a Grub Hub gift card. It's such a sweet and thoughtful gift but all I can think of is when is Boss Appreciation Day and what are my obligations towards that? How far up the food chain will I be expected to go?
I'm in a new job at a pretty seriously disorganized organization. Our org chart is a little mysterious. Disorg chart would be a better description. They recently created a new position resulting in a new supervisor for me. She's wonderful. As the two newest hires with a lot of things in common (we're both old), we've become fast friends. Two weeks into the job she asked me who I report to. I should have kept my mouth shut, then there'd be no worry about Boss Appreciation Day at all.
