Wow....so it's been a long while since I've blogged. Just stumbled back into this after my sis reminded me to read HER blog. In anycase, it may be perfect timing indeed. Some avenue to blow off some steam. I've just recently changed jobs...and I always thought I was one who liked change. Thrived on change...but recently well....I kinda understand now why it's good to stay put too. Bottom line is: I'm kinda stressed. Don't get me wrong...my job is turning out ok. No crazy deadlines, nice boss, nice team, heck - even a friendly secretary! But..maybe it's my own expectations that I should be off and running like the wind already and implementing things left right and centre, when all I'm doing now is just reading up old files, and trying not to forget what I've heard at the odd Induction session and trying to remember people's names. When you join an organization with >5000 employees....name bombardment and overload can happen pretty quickly. This subconscious, or maybe pretty conscious stress is making me not sleeep well...which of course, adds to the vicious cycle. I now feel some sympathy for sr management when they come in new to an organizations. Who knows, they may not even have allies round them at all. And if you forget things after they've been explained to you once, some of your staff think you're incompetent. I know I felt this way before.
So I try and tell myself that hey, relax. Slowly does it. Don't be OVEREAGER BEAVER BUNNY falling over myself to proove myself that I trip up all over the place. Ppl have been here 20 yrs...so what is 2 wks. Yikes.
