Mindy's Work

Got lots going on in our lives, but first and foremost right now is my work. It sure has been crazy, starting on February 19th. I am dealing with lots of major incidents with employees and kids. We have had broken bones, stitches from practicing for our parent talent show, upset and screaming parents, parents threatening to "shut us down", incident reports not filled out correctly, and more fights then I can count with the kids. I have had to deal with 12 incidents in 9 days (you do the math). It sure has not been fun, and I think I know have an ulcer and my shoulders will be permanently tense until I can get a good massage. My boss keeps telling me that I am learning lots (LOL), and that I will be so much better for this. I certainly hope so. I guess this is what happens when you are supervising over 27 staff members. Summer should be better, and I am actually looking forward to the break-heehee. I am still extremely busy getting our swim team up and running and helping another co-worker (who is over aquatics) with the summer and lifeguarding because of my background. I have my big Spring Jubilee Eggstravaganza on March 22nd and all that it entails, but actually am finding myself more organized than I thought and will enjoy the day rather than stress over it (lets just pray for sunshine that day). Our webpage takes up some time as well- you can check it out at riolindaelvertaparks.org, I am the one that does the upkeep and maintenance on it. And lets not forget our next Rec Guide will be coming out soon and I am responsible for coordinating that. Well, I guess I have complained enough for one day, but maybe some of you who have simpler lives will appreciate this. I do love my job, and if I didn't have to deal with all the issues (hmmm), my job would be perfect! At least I have more good days here then bad, and the good days are really fun! Until next time . . .
