Here we go again

Although I have some good moments, work morale for me at the moment is low. When I was getting ready this morning, I thought, If I had this job and I was in Canada, would I be looking for a different job?

No. I still want this job. At this location. While the job is incredibly frustrating, it’s a challenge that makes me learn, which overall makes me happy, but essentially I’m back to square one.
What I had to learn while in my first role here - forget everything you think you know, do not assume anything or anyone is applying basic logic, and DO NOT try to solve problems. Take on the very, very top…say 2 problems…and go from there.

I’m having to re-learn that process of forgetting common sense, etc. It’s been a challenge
I recently got my job description (after six months in the role) and had to laugh when I saw this, “The role may challenge and tax emotions and stamina”. Ha! At least everyone else knows it too.
So I started my morning with a different attitude. I’m here to do my job. And that’s it. For the moment, I’m not terribly invested in this project. Although it takes up most of the hours in my life - it does not make my life. I will learn from this opportunity (which it truly is - this new role especially) and continue on. I will define what a “good job” is, and I will do a very good job.

[I’ll try to recap (soon) what it is I do and how it’s different from the last job.] [I also never learned in school why people ever use “[” or “{” rather than plain old “(” ]

And, I started this morning out with a fun task. I found 10 000 MGA on the floor in the common area of my office. I must have asked 7 people if they had lost any money and they all checked and said no. So I kept the money and went and bought chocolates for everyone. This morning I got to drop off chocolates on everyone’s desk before they get to work. That was fun.
Back to work…
