New again

by FeR on March 20, 2012 in personal,work

Official announcement through conference call last Wednesday (I did not attend it) and through work’s “newsletter” today.

Yeap.

Everything is familiar yet new.
New things to learn, to explore, to manage. Responsibilities and the pressure to meet targets/deadlines.

Today is the start of a challenging month (or 3 months) ahead – K is not familiar with how exactly we run the dispensary and I am not familiar with how exactly we run retail. Great combo, huh?
I think she got a little overwhelmed by everything that needs to be done when we have a pack change – and it was only one item (I’ve already asked Mel to change the cycle process back to Monday so that it’s easier to follow – this is to ensure anyone could do the pack change, instead of having it fall back onto Mel or myself). I hope with a few more practices, she would fully understand the cycle because I really won’t be able to cope. I need someone to have my back else I’d come back to a big pile of mess when I’m away in September/October.

Teaching/mentoring is really not my strength. I am trying (and I know I have to learn) but it’s really difficult. I scream inside when I can’t articulate the instructions properly (I do that quite often because my mind runs faster than I can speak at times). I HAVE to persevere, else it would be really unfair on everyone else because a smooth running dispensary is the core of our workplace. I hope K is up for it, too!

Holiday: Falling into place

by FeR on February 27, 2012 in holiday(s),personal

Yay! Mom has spoken to Julie and the dates we’ve decided on is A-okay!
How one’s perspective changes when you have something to look forward to.

We’ve looked at escorted tours and it’s definitely good value for money (and sanity because everything is sorted out) but I’d really like to go on our own so we can choose where we want to go. Tour packages have a standard itinerary and most of the ones I have seen online only covers about 60% of the places we want to go to. I know it’s still quite a good coverage – it can be PlanB if I can’t fit everything under NZD6k.

Ah!

I love to plan things and get organised…if it’s something I WANT to plan/organise.
:hee:

When LiMay gets back to me about the theme, I would be starting on the baby shower, too!
