One week down!

I've been at Starfish for a week and a half now. I love it here! I'm so happy to be at a place where I actually feel like I'm accomplishing something. The pharmacy I was at before I started VISTA was nowhere near to what I wanted to do with my life. It also helps to be with people that want to make a difference as much as I do. I am so greatful to have found this job and to be out of the pharmacy!

While my first week was a little rough, I feel so much better about what I am doing. I'm still anxious about this holiday skating party, but once it's over it'll be smooth sailing. Honestly, last week I was being put in an awkward position because two staff members have two VERY different directions they want to go with this party. Since I had just started here and the party was essentially planned, I had hoped that I would be told what exactly needed to be done for the skating party and I'd start from the beginning with an event that hadn't really been planned yet. While it looked like it would happen that way, I soon got stuck in the middle of two employees butting heads. It was an uncomfortable situation. From what I know, it's getting worked out. I just need to get a real answer as to what I'm suppose to be doing for December 30th.

Anyway, this week has started out just fine... besides the fact that I've caught a cold. (Achy body and extremely soar throat.) On the upside, I've started a countdown to my Las Vegas vacation!!! 17 DAYS!!!!! We're even thinking about going to the Grand Canyon! I'm really excited!!
