SLACKER!

Ok, so I've really slacked off for the past 2 days as far as exercise. I've been devoting most of my time to work- just the past 2 days, though. I needed to get my hours up. I worked about 14 hours today, between seeing my clients, doing my administrative work, and then doing paperwork at home. Last night, I worked all day, then went straight to my job at my church (working with 1 year olds :), which I love!). But once I got home last night, I literally just CRASHED. I fell asleep for about an hour, woke up, put the kids to bed, went back to sleep for a couple more hours, woke up again, piddled around, and then was out for the rest of the night. I don't want to get into TMI but it is 'that time' for me, and I think my body is just flat out exhausted. So no exercise for me last night, and only a short round of yoga for me tonight. I am wiped out and I have an early training in the morning because I'm taking on even more supervisory tasks at work. Work is still going well; I just hate it that one of my coworkers put in her notice a couple days ago- she is such an asset to the company and we've become good friends. I know that once she leaves, we can keep in touch, but it won't be the same. She is moving on to bigger and better things. Good for her. I'm content where I am for the moment, and the other 2 employers I was considering (in the back of my mind) have since closed their doors, so I'm happy to have a job. I absolutely LOVE my clients. Not many people can say that they love their jobs, but I can. My clients are what really makes it wonderful and worthwhile. The admin stuff- not so much. I was telling a coworker this, and he replied, "You showed them too many of your talents, Beth". I guess this is true... I wrote good notes and reports, they took notice, and put me in a writing role. That ended up earning me more $$$ but losing time for additional clients. Now I'm stuck in the office 3 days a week. Boo. There are so many different personalities I have to work with, too. I try to be nice to everyone and have a good rapport with them, but yesterday my supervisor (that's what I call her, though I've been told not to call her that... but that's really what she is... confusing, huh) told me that I'm too friendly with other counselors when i have to call them for information regarding PAs (which is what I write). This was coming from someone who does not have good rapport with quite a few people. I told her I was sorry she felt that way, but that I have good working relationships with everyone and this is how we communicate. Good grief... I can't stand being micromanaged like that. Too friendly, eh? It gets the job done, doesn't it? People appreciate someone NICE calling them for a change. I give a lot of praise, too, because people love that; it makes them feel good. Everyone loves a little ego stroking. A little bit of praise goes a long way. Whatever, "supervisor". Pfffft. :P
