It has been… interesting these first three days of my new schedule. I am used to the 8-4:30 minimum, living in 6 minute increments to get in my 8 hours to earn my pay. The song 9-5 hits home for a lot of people. I am still too aware of the time, feel stressed if I stop to talk, etc. I am now on a productivity based schedule and it is much healthier for me but will take time to not cause anxiety. I must say the 6 or 8 clients I have dealt with the last two days have been amazing and I am grateful. It will be interesting to see what my thoughts are a month in.
I have been working out of The Ground Floor shared workspace the last two days and the people are cool (and so is the air), the space is gorgeous and most everyone seems happy to be there. The manager, Cindy has been a great help to make me feel welcome and in exchange I have been training her on Sage software. She even cleaned up the mess poor Layla left on the entry carpet! (yes I owe her)
Speaking of Layla, she once again made me laugh. We take the long way round my yard to the door so that she will have time to do her business on the way. She never makes a peep, follows me around like Mary with her lamb and is a gentle soul. I may have found her nemesis though… as we rounded the corner she started barking and it took me a minute to realize it was at the inflatable Llama! I calmed her and showed her it was not real and she was fine. I mean, she really did not like it in ‘her’ yard. Funny girl, no wonder her people love her so.
