One of Those Weeks
Today has been a 15-hour work day. Yet somehow I still feel like I’m far behind.
I have blisters on my feet, sweat and dust all over my clothes, and I’m pretty positive that the nasty stench I’ve been smelling all day is coming from me. I just spent the last three hours with staff trying to empty out, toss out, and reorganize our “staff workroom.”
Things are messy, disorganized, and overwhelming.
There is clutter everywhere.
There is not a space for staff to collaborate and get stuff done.
Things are broken.
Things are lost.
……….
But somehow, through it all, I find myself more and more in love with this school. I am confident that my decision to work here was the right one. It may not be the easiest place to work, but I am surrounded by others who share the same vision as me. I love my staff. I love the mission of our schools.
So yes, I am tired.
But I am so, so happy.
I totally know you are going to rock this Divya!!! hugs.
My September mantra is “it will get better”! I too work in a challenging school but there is no where else I would rather be.
keep it up, girl! you are making a difference!!!!! and tomorrow IS friday – woot woot!
That room was a mess!! All that stuff! But good work cleaning it up!
So happy that you love the staff you work with. That is my favorite part about my school!
OMG I LOVE THAT – I love that while you’re so very busy, you’re so very happy š That’s the BEST!!!!!
YEAHHH glad that all the chaos is worth it!
Your dedication and passion shine through despite the challenges. Your love for your school and colleagues is truly inspiring. Take pride in your hard work and the positive impact you’re making. Keep pushing forward with that infectious positivity!
