Well that is still definitely happening.
Yes, yes, spring is here, the grass is greening a bit more and the weather is heating up (yick).
Lately I have been in a bit of a slump - and I kind of new it was coming. I am continually at a point of thought where I know I can do more - but I don't have the energy to do it. I actually scheduled a session yesterday so I am a bit more hopeful for things.
Last week was one of my co-worker's last days here. She is a wonderful person, and now will be working closer to home. I'm ecstatic for her, as she will definitely kick butt. It's definitely a bit bittersweet, and we definitely miss her in the office. As a full team, we worked incredibly cohesively. I've done the group projects and activities that require us to get in groups and do something, but this was different. This was definitely a team-based engagement, and it was wonderful. Now, knowing how great it is, I won't go into other interactions assuming it will be like that or it won't measure up.
This was an incredible experience and I am glad I was able to be a part of it.
It is a great feeling when you leave something and it's still a positive thing. And though at the moment, it is someone else that is leaving it, there are constantly going to be transitions. That's life. She left, but we're kind of all about ready to go too.
I am in a place of comfort. I have two monitors that make work incredibly productive. I am able to just go to work and do things. And despite the times that I try to look for ways to challenge myself, I'm not finding them (or in many cases, making them) as frequently anymore.
As Philip DeFranco said in his 4/6 episode - Sometimes you need a shake-up for new things to happen.
