So Little Time

...No, not the Olsen twins flop...

Chloe left ACBA on Friday. After a whirlwind week of super-condensed lessons and training, I'm taking over a sizable chunk of her responsibilities. This week I'm on my own. I was so nervous Monday morning when I walked in to find stacks of work on my desk, a thousand e-mails in my inbox, training books to read, calendars, schedules, and meetings I didn't know anything about, and so on and so on. To top it off, Chloe's supervisor, Regina, is on vacation this week, so I don't have that safety net.

But I'm working through things one at a time, getting a lot done, and learning as I go. With such supportive and patient coworkers, I'm sure I'll be fine. The best thing is that I actually feel like I'm doing something worthwhile. All summer, I have felt bored and under-utilized, but now I feel like my position at the College is important. I feel productive and competent. I don't dread going to work everyday! So, though I've come home everyday completely wiped out, I'm loving all the changes that are going on, and looking forward to my new responsibilities.
