In My Life:

This has actually been a pretty crazy week, so I have a bit to share, mostly work-related.

I’ve almost finished setting up the admin office for work, and it has turned out really nice. I’m still waiting for a bookcase and our big printer to arrive. I think a few more decorative pieces would be nice as well, like some big plants that could hide the visible cords hanging down. And a new window decal and plexi sign are on their way as well.

I finally got to meet my mentor in person this week. We’ve been working together since November, but between the pandemic and the fact that we live in different parts of Oregon, we had yet to meet in person. She came down to see the new offices.

In other work news, remember that promotion that I was up for but didn’t get? Well, I don’t know that I mentioned it here, but I took the feedback I was given after my interview and crafted a plan for what I would have done if I had gotten the position and forwarded it to the Director for feedback. This was right after I didn’t get the position and I hadn’t heard anything, so I figured they just didn’t have time to follow up with me on it at the moment. Fast forward to this week, the Director asked to meet with me on Thursday to discuss my plan, and told me she was really impressed with both my plan, and the fact that I had put it together and forwarded it in such a professional matter. She said based on my plan, I was back under consideration for the position. And on Friday she called to offer it to me! She will be at my office on Monday to discuss things in detail, but essentially I will be the Assistant Director for my office starting in July. I am blown away because this was not the outcome I expected to get, but I am really excited about the new position.

And now I have another office to set up lol.

The only other item of real note this week (not that all of that wasn’t enough!) is that I finally got my first vaccine shot on Friday (Moderna). Thankfully I haven’t really had any side effects so far- just a sore arm, but it’s no worse than a tetanus shot. I know a lot of people have worse reactions to the second shot, but I’m hoping that I won’t be one of them.
