Life of the Semi Homemaker

I don't mean to be a negative Nancy...ever. But it's soooo easy to get into that kind of routine.  A routine thinking that no matter what you do is good enough. That you aren't good enough for certain things. That you CAN'T do certain things.  I am good enough. I do try.  But how hard do I try?? I try as hard as I can. I want everything to be perfect...and that's what gets me every single time.  I try so hard in making everything perfect, that I screw things up. If I just try to do my best and not make things perfect (or what I perceive as perfect to my boss/supervisor) then I might just do a lot better.  Focus on one thing at a time.  And here I go being a negative Nancy again and being hard on myself. Also, the harder I am on myself, the worse things seem to be. I also must admit that cleaning is NOT my forte at all. I just can't hang. I can't keep up. I'm also afraid that if I rush, I won't do a good enough job. That I will forget ...

My new job, from what I have noticed, seem to be a little more on the strict side of things. Which I appreciate more than they know.  My last job was incredibly lax in how they did things and how they enforced rules and enforced how to clean things. I also feel like I was not taught correctly. You can't teach someone any new skills in less than a day. I'm sorry, but you just can't. So, now I really have to put it into high gear and make sure that I do everything correctly based on the limited training that I do have.  Argh!!!!  But I do appreciate the higher standards that this company seems to have. Also this company has been in business for 33 years. So they really have cleaning down to a "T". I should be able to learn how to correctly do things and reset myself vs how I was "taught".  ***I will not be stating the name of this company until I know that I will be staying for the long haul***

Well, I got a new job yesterday. This morning, I turned in my immediate resignation. Tomorrow is my first day at my new job.  Maybe one day I will return to my last job...maybe I won't. I'm not really sure.  I do know that this new job is a 10-15 minute drive from my house. MUCH better than a 25-30 minute drive. It's still housekeeping, though.  I'm looking forward to turning a new leaf over. Get away from all the nay sayers from my last job and PROVE that I can do this. I may not be the best but I know I can do this. Plus, it seems we will be working in a team atmosphere. Which is great.  Focus and get it done. I CAN do this!!! 

It's been 4 really long years since I posted on this blog. For that, I am truly sorry!!! Life and other things got in the way. But I am here to update and hopefully continue to update on this blog as well. I seriously hope that you all can forgive me.  I just wanted to update and say that I'm still here.  I'll be updating later today after church. So stay tuned because I have a LOT to tell y'all!!!!!
