Truthfully I'm flattered that so many people want my peer feedback, and I want to support all of them, it's just a LOT and also I have pandemic brain and kind of don't remember last year well enough to say anything more constructive than "YES GOOD JOB NICE PERSON"
Yeah, that all sounds right. We're supposed to be doing reviews right now, too, but I haven't looked to see if it's time for peer reviews. (Sometimes we do them mid-year, sometimes we do them year-end, and I think they might have been cancelled last year due to pandemic brain?)
Our very first program review lasted all day, from morning until closing. Then CONTINUED the next morning.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Also, I have a meeting with my “mentor” today and I know she wants to talk about what I want to get out of our mentorship—it was assigned. She’s higher up in a slightly different department. And I’m honestly not sure what I want! Like, to know more about possible career options in the future and how to get there? Not sure she’s totally the right person because she may not know?
She can at least tell you what she does know, which may be different from what you know? It may or may not be useful.
I should start my self-assessment right now, because I have finally solved a couple of problems that have been lingering.
Down to the last 10! At this point I've completed all of the really useful reviews I can do and am down to the folks where I might decide to decline with a reason of "did not work with this person enough to give feedback."
Can you fall back on, "he seems nice"?
Timelies all!
Negative test results for both me and Mr. S. He went to school today.
That is a relief! Too many positives out there.
So found out that M's brother's best friends have covid, and their daughter has it. And someone who works in the building next to M's brother has it. I guess they've had it for a week. M's mom normally goes out to dinner with them on Fridays and with them to church on Sundays but she's not going to.
Today is the birthday of the most lovely Windsparrow. I know her days are so filled these days, but I hope she feels our warm wishes for a love filled day.
Too many people with Covid now. I should go to a funeral today. My BIL's MIL. Dear woman had health issues to begin with, including serious dementia. She got Covid early on and had a too long period of deterioration. She was such a hard working warm hearted immigrant from Haiti and it breaks my heart that she never got to enjoy her retirement years. I know most people there will be vaccinated, but between any effort at all being an effort, and so many people close together inside. I think I may have to just let DH go alone. Again. Also, I didn't know that FEMA was distributing funeral checks for Covid deaths. Huh.
trouble getting motivated to do anything. I'm feeing really unsettled the last couple of days.
I'm going to try and jumpstart things with a shower.
Anyone feel like an accountability text group or zoom today?
