Some reactions from this morning - a bus breezed past me and another individual as we were 20 feet from the bus stop. We shared a glance, and a mini-panic attack. It was early. Incredibly early. However, I checked online, mentioning that it could have been the previous one, and there was in fact a bus still supposed to come at the usual time. Another individual came up, and we clued her in too. That individual works for my company, and I chatted with her a bit concerning our transitions happening. Then another bus - our bus - turned the corner for our road. We were fine! We managed a stressful situation, and I even talked to someone!
Some reactions from today at work - it's ok to discuss things. Teams are able to function because of communication. Spreading that communication is also good. And after all of that, it'll be ok.
Some reactions from this week - it's ok when there are issues. When speaking with individuals, it is ok to ask questions. I recently applied to something, and my application had a question that was only halfway there. I communicated the administrator about it, and we found out it was a systems glitch. Nothing to get freaked out over. Job searching doesn't have to be that hard. They're looking for an employee. You're looking for a job. You just have to see how you fit within that - or if you don't, it's ok. There are plenty of other fish, ahem, I mean jobs in the sea.
This week I broke out my pastels (and had some new ones, but that's neither here nor there), and it was wonderful. It was the first time in months that I felt I was wearing something lighter. the clothing didn't make me feel one way or another about myself, I just felt good in them.
Overall - completely emotionally exhausted, but hey, we're in this together me!
