Overwhelmed

I started my new job this week. I will admit that I am totally overwhelmed. To walk into a place with no one to do orientation with me is tough. The office is clutter from one corner to the next. One of the board members has done enough organizing to be able to pay bills and do payroll, but it is 20 something years of clutter. (The previous director passed away a few months ago after a long illness.)

We will be having a board meeting on Monday to make some decisions on some much needed policy changes, I will be getting Internet installed sometime in the next week, I'm scheduled for several classes that are required, and an electrician came out today to replace some light fixtures and switches that were pretty scary.

I've also had the opportunity to watch the teachers in action and to get to know the kids. This is going to be such a long road. I know that I need to pace myself and not to get discouraged. I'll admit though that I'm kind of having fun:)
