Sleepy

Very sleepy today. Spent too much time yesterday on my poor sore feet, and I spent the whole evening cleaning up the flat so it would look respectable when Chu comes today. I’ve gotten so used to having Dragon around to help me that I get very frustrated when I have to do everything myself. Got everything clean and neat though, and Dragon even woke up earlier this morning to do the vacuuming.

It’s actually going to be really busy month or so now – right after Chu is gone my sister and her boyfriend are going come for a visit, and after that Orava and Janka are dropping by on their way to Burning Man (which we have to pass this year due to my work).It’s really inconvenient that we can’t make copies of our apartment keys, as it would make life easier if we could let the guests go as they please – now we have to make sure that the one that comes home last will be the one without the keys.

Today at work we haven’t had to endure any more fire alarms (there were three altogether yesterday) – someone said that apparently they were due to the sun shining on the roof. Sounds a bit simplistic, but whatever it was it’s not happening today – weather is not quite as hot either though. I’m also sleepy because the work isn’t as challenging I’d hope it to be – apparently the shit is about to hit the fan next week so I should keep busy then. Oh joy.

In fact, so far being back at work hasn’t really been what I was hoping for. Somehow it seems more meaningless than it used to, I used to be a lot more attached to my work and work place. This might be a good thing too – I’d like to work to live, not live to work. At the same time it doesn’t really bother me because I’ve got plans now – even few years back career was my only plan and now that seems so… small.

(First, I really don't know you so only take this with a grain of salt.)
I think you'd be great as a teacher. Every day is different and the work is definitely challenging. Best of luck pursuing your yoga teacher certificate!

If that's what you want to do, go for it!

Aloittaminen uudessa työpaikassa ei ole aivan helppoa. Nyt on ehkä kyse enemmänkin tavallisesta leipätyöstä, aikaisemmat työsi ovat olleet ikäänkuin opiskelun jatkoa.

Uudessa paikassa odotukset ja paineet ovat välttämättä ristiriitaisia, kunnes sinä ja työyhteisösi tunnette toisenne. Molemminpuolisen luottamuksen mukana avautuu mahdollisuudet työnkuvan säätöön, löytyy taas se oma alue (joka luultavasti ei ole aivan se mitä nyt luulisit). Jos sellaista ei kuitenkaan löydy, sitten joutuu ennen pitkää harkitsemaan uusia työpaikkoja.
