This week’s goal is:
Write down something I like about myself
Because I’m basically amazing.
Typically I wouldn’t start this until I post my weekly progress report on Monday, but I feel like tooting my own horn right now.
Something I like about myself is my ability to laugh at the ridiculous and not stress. Now, granted, I am human and I can get stressed as much as anyone. But I can usually go with the flow and laugh things off.
For example, this evening my boss and I had to work later than we normally would during a break between semesters. During these breaks there are no children or teachers at the center, just my boss and I gearing up for the next semester, so we work only till about 3 or 4 depending on what needs to be done.
This is also the time for hiring new folks, so we’ve been setting up interviews. One prospective employee couldn’t interview until 4:30 tonight. Blast. Guess we have to work until 5. Well, the interview went great and we offered him a teaching position on the spot. We were showing him around the program, and by this time it was already a bit past 5. But, hey, he was awesome. No biggie.
Lastly we showed him the playground. Then we tried to get back into the building. We tried every door possible to get back into the building. Um, yeah, campus security decided to lock up early. Great. All our stuff was inside, including our cell phones! I thought it was pretty hilarious. My boss was a little stressed because she needed to get home so her husband could work. But I was cool. We started walking to find an open building, ran into someone who works in the President’s building who was on his way home. Super nice guy, let us into his office and called campus security for us.
I finally got on the road around 5:50, so I opted out of going grocery shopping tonight (which means I only had 1 vegetable today – I’ll live). I was laughing about it almost the whole way home. My cell is always in my back pocket. So of course the one time it’s not is the time we get locked out of the building. Ah, life! “How quaint the ways of Paradox, at common sense she gaily mocks.”
Anyway, good times. And huzzah for me being in a good humor about it. Yeah, I’m pretty cool like that 🙂
