Bummer of a day

Today just seemed to fall to pieces. Without revealing too much I can say that most of it was work related.

A co-worker had some issues and we had a very emotional conversation. This helped me as much as it helped her. We came out of this with a much better understanding of each other.

I was called about a job I applied for and had 2 interviews for and was told they job had been offered to someone else. It was a pleasant call because I received a lot of compliments. I am sure that they went with someone more qualified for the job and not because they didn't like me. It was a downer but I am very accepting of not getting it. Everything happens for a reason and I know my time will come.

Personally there was an issue with the girls mother that I thought would be resolved yesterday. She had to go to court but after checking on the results today I see that her court appearance was adjourned.

Nothing awful happened but the day seemed to progressively go downhill.

On an upside, I learned a lot of management skills and things I needed to work on when I was at my training last week and I put what I learned to good use. I held a meeting with my team today and I felt like a real manager and like we will make some serious progress together. I told my team that I have a renewed spirit as a manager and hope to bring the positive aspects of that to them to help them personally and professionally.

The whole day wasn't so bad but I can't wait to wake up tomorrow to get a fresh start.
