Today I start back to work.
Last Friday,
April Fool's Day,
I signed a contract to work at Mid Valley Mentors.
(I trust that signing a contract on April Fools Day is NOT bad luck.)
Today is my first day.
I have never officially been an Executive Assistant, but the jobs I have held in the past have given me many of the skills I will need to do this job.
It is only part time, 20 hours a week.
I think that will be a good blend of hours at work
and hours at home with the kids.
I think working here will be a good fit for me.
However, I am feeling nervous this morning.
I will be meeting the other staff, key volunteers, and key donors
as we set up for a big fundraising event this evening.
Meeting new people is not the easiest thing for me,
especially in large groups.
But I usually can fake a feeling of being comfortable and at ease when I need to. My past job experiences have helped me in that area.
So here I go again,
Off to experience another new job.
I wonder where this one will lead me......
P.S. (Saturday recap of my first day)
It was a long day, 12+ hours setting up and working the fundraising event.
I am stiff and sore this morning.
Its been a while since I carried, moved,
and climbed up & down a 12 foot ladder, let alone was on my feet for that long with little to no break.
My body aches today, that is for sure.
But the staff I will be working with are dedicated and passionate about their work.
And they are fun!
Also,I got to meet and listen to Dave Dahl's story
of Dave's Killer Bread.
I ran into some folks from Habitat for Humanity that I had not seen in a long while.
All in all a good first day.
There is no doubt there are adventures
and probably some misadventures ahead.

Oh Julie this is good news. I have the feeling this will be a good fit. You are so giving and compassionate, yet you are such a strong decisive leader. Best of luck to you. Mid Valley Mentors has struck gold:)
ReplyDeleteI just recently saw a video of Dave Dahl too. Such an inspiring story.
