Life happens and that makes everything more interesting

Sorry about my lack of posts last week readers.
Life happened.
Life happened on top of a new job.
It was a very busy week.
While I think I’m going to like my new occupation very much, I hate new jobs. You are the lone new person in an environment where everyone else is experienced. I hate not knowing what is going on. It’s like a bad dream where it’s the first day of school at a new building, no one seems to know you and everyone else knows what’s going on, except for you. Only I know it’s not a true nightmare because I’m not in my underwear.
Nope, I’m definitely wearing clothes, so it’s got to be real life.
I wish there was a way you could dive right into a new position and know exactly what to do. This whole learning curve thing stinks. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that I may be – and I will most like not admit to this again so take it all in --- that I am a bit of a control freak. I like to be in control of a situation or at least know what to expect. Being totally out of my professional element for the time being is throwing me off.
And trying to look at it positively with the perspective of, “I’m getting to learn something new and that takes time,” really doesn’t help much when I’m feeling overwhelmed. But I thank my lovely friend for trying to look at it that way for me.
Yes, I am learning something new, but why can’t I just know it all now? That would really be much more convenient for me.
When it feels as if you’re treading water and barely keeping your nose above it, it’s good to know there are people who can get all “Polly Anna” on you when you need it, even if you can’t believe it at that moment.
Life happens. But, that’s life.
