bueno

I have a project. It's January, so a good time to begin things. A year in pictures. I'm trying to remind myself to take more pictures of Halifax, and just life in general. I always had my camera with my in Belgium, and I loved it, but here...I haven't been great. So I have to make a concerted effort. But a year from now I'd like to be able to look at pictures taken and post one from each month. Images of 2011. Fun, and also a way for me to stay on track with my goals [goals! yeesh] and to reflect on the year. So let's see....

And one more thing. I had a really, truly great day at work today. The first day where I feel really positive about what I'm doing, and why I'm doing it. I effectively problem solved, I listened empathetically, offered advice and in return, was truly listened to and confided in.The complete opposite of what I felt was going to happen. I had a meeting. A meeting I was dreading. A meeting that I [emphasis inserted] had to facilitate. ME! All by myself. And I was sure I was going to be a} yelled at b} ripped a new one, or c} possibly cry. But none of that happened. The scary person I was meeting with wasn't scary at all. She was quite lovely actually. And I think we've got some mutual respect going. So yay us. It felt pretty damn fantastic. For the first time I feel that I may have something to contribute and that I may actually be alright at this job. Phwef. It's been rough going for a while.
