After countless hours in airports, airplanes, trains and automobiles, I finally have made it to my final destination.<\/p>\nAfter countless hours in airports, airplanes, trains and automobiles, I finally have made it to my final destination.<\/p>\n
Oh lord, what a difference.<\/p>\n
Gone are the days of waking up at 7:45 every morning whether I like it or not, since I arrived here\u00a0 well, I still wake up early but not because I have to go to work<\/em> early, just because my body is adjusting to the time change. My actual shift doesn\u2019t start until 9, I wake up and actually have time for a proper breakfast!\u00a0 What a concept?!<\/p>\n And whereas I am used to dragging myself off work at 10:15 in the evening\u2026I\u2019m now closing up shop at \u20265:30? 6? 8 o\u2019clock at the very latest! Gradually, ever so gradually, I can feel the life starting to edge back into me. It\u2019s been missing for a while now.<\/p>\n The classes are going well, although at the moment I am still very definitely in training. Thankfully I have one of the best<\/em> techies in the job as my trainer, who \u2013 while it\u2019s true he\u2019s thrown me in at the deep end and has me teaching classes when I\u2019ve only been on board maybe 48 hours \u2013 is patiently instructing me when I go wrong and when I get things out of order (like I did with today\u2019s movie maker class, over-familiarity with the material, dang it).\u00a0 He says I\u2019m doing fine, and that I get all the touch points covered which is the point, but I know I have a tendency to scramble when I do make a mistake, and that\u2019s a confidence thing which I can only hope will fix itself with time.<\/p>\n It\u2019s difficult in some ways for me to sit back and take the constructive criticism, as I have become rather over-defensive in the past few years because of the amount of stress brought on by my previous position, but this is criticism I need to learn the new job, so I\u2019m trying to be grateful for it rather than resentful of it. Besides I know<\/em> that I\u2019ve made mistakes, and he\u2019s been easier on me than I\u2019ve been on myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After countless hours in airports, airplanes, trains and automobiles, I finally have made it to my final destination.
