but not at the same time!
I have worked where I am currently working for nearly 2 1/2 years. In that time I don’t think I’ve said more to the MD of the company than Hello and Good evening while passing in the corridor. Yesterday I took a call from his wife (who also works for the company) and then spent 30 minutes chatting with them both in his office – because they wanted to know about Montessori education as they are considering it for their granddaughter. They visited the school today and signed her up – so I’ll be getting a lot more contact with them in the future!
Also surreal is the trying to hand things over to other ppl experience – trying to train ppl to do what I do, when to some extent I don’t know how I do it. I don’t know how I spot the problems – they are just glaringly obvious. I don’t know how I resolve the issues – I just do what will fix them. Or what I hope will fix them 😀 But there you go.
Sobering thoughts were caused by having an ambulance pass us with blue lights on and then passing the scene of the accident. Fortunately Big didn’t put two and two together on this occasion and worry about the ppl in the car, I did that bit on my own.
Overall though, I’m in a better state of mind – thank you for all your supportive comments the other night. I am resolutely not thinking about Lovelock and his theories, on the principle that there’s not a great deal I can do about them anyway, and instead I’m focussing on what I need to do to improve our situation. I’m going to look at a rented house tomorrow that’s about 8 minutes drive away from the school – maybe less actually if there isn’t a queue of traffic trying to get into the Tescopoly filling station down the road. Then I’ll stop this job, start the next and move, and life won’t be quite so tiring and I’ll just be moaning about other ppl’s children instead of my own 😉 (Except I won’t be moaning about other ppl’s children except maybe generically as that wouldn’t be fair on here 🙂 )
