It's time for another installment of awkward and awesome Thursday!
Gonna start with awkward and work my way to awesome.
I was in a meeting with a bunch of people from work today for a "Look at Leadership". During one of the sessions I was trying to make a joke, but in doing so I inadvertently revealed that I didn't know what I was talking about. I had misunderstood some initials. I would have just laughed it off, but the presenter said something like "you helped us learn, even without meaning to" and elaborated on my mistake so everyone could learn from it. I don't know about you, but having my mistake not just pointed out, but elaborated on to be sure everyone in the group understood the mistake I had made was a bit awkward.
I think that moment was plenty of awkwardness for my week.
Awesome!
The new Scentsy thing that my sister got me, my house smells awesome!
Dinner with family at my dad's house, and the fact that both he and my sister were feeling well enough to be there-Awesome!
The aforementioned Look at Leadership meeting. I learned some skills to use for crucial conversations and I was able to network with a lot of other great nurses. Today was the second half of the 2 day program. The first day kind of had me doubting whether or not I even wanted to be a leader. After today I felt encouraged, it provided tremendous boost in my confidence in myself and my abilty to lead. I will also be able to take additional classes in leadership and be matched up with a mentor. I am really excited! Also Awesome!
Most awesome of all....knowing that I don't have to get up for anything tomorrow so I can sleep in as long as I want! Oh, and I almost forgot, tomorrow is payday, that makes it even more awesome!
