It's A Process

This week has been incredibly busy at work.  Monday our new office lady started.  Eventually she will be the full time gal and I'll go back to PT and filling in.  I can't wait.

So far, she already is showing more gumption than I expected.  She will be a great fit.  She is already making herself at home--and by that I mean she was singing along to her Pandora Disney station today in a voice loud enough you could hear her throughout the office.

She caught up all the "to do piles" for me already.  I had some things that I showed her how to do once, she asked a few questions throughout and she was off and running.  I was struggling by the end of the day to keep ahead of her.  Eventually, she caught me and I had nothing else to give her to do.  she took over the phones and the routing/dispatching of the drivers already.  This is going to be awesome.

I've been at this job for over a year already, and I still feel a little intimidated by some attitudes that flare up at time.  I'm such an "avoid confrontation at all costs" personality that I've just learned to roll with it.  She doesn't put up with much.  She'll be kind but she is no shrinking violet.  That is awesome.

I may end up being just an on-call embroidery lady, a go-between for the scrub stores, and a paperwork/data entry pusher for our Home Solutions end.  That would be really awesome.

In the meantime, the drivers are in good hands.  She is a chatterer, but a dependable worker too.  She is a natural on the phone.  She'll be just fine.  Awesome.
