Sometimes I don't know what is worse, going through a stressful time or the repercussions of coming down off of stress. For the second night in a row I have not slept well with bad dreams punctuating the night. Yet overall things have been calming down. So now the mind is working out the remaining angst and anxiety. Brainfry has increased a bit from this.
We have hired one new person who is starting next Wednesday. She is not as advanced as we had hoped so we are changing the position slightly. We are going to split time on the phones so that I will have time to take on some of the more advanced cases. Even so, it looks very hopeful. The girl is a bit young, but very willing to learn, obviously adaptable and intelligent. In the long run I think it will be very worth it. Add that to the fact that I didn't have ANY New Hires on Monday and I was doing pretty good today. The lack of New Hires allowed me to get caught up on a few things and my case load is actually under 20 cases again.
And I had a really wonderful evening tonight with the aforementioned new man in my life. It's become a situation where I look forward to each new email as well as each time we get together. *warm thoughts* Has it really only been a month? As I mentioned to him tonight, I never even heard of the term "NRE" before a couple months ago and I doubt I would have used in reference to me any time in the last 10 years. Most of my secondary relationships have evolved out of friendships, so they weren't really newly discovered things. But I have to admit, it definately applies here. Kind of a new feeling.
