I'm about to leave for my first "Friday" of my first full, non-training week in corporate America. Working four 10s as well as evenings will definitely be an adjustment!
I've been a bit of a zombie all week but am hoping that my sleep schedule will settle in to a more sustainable pattern sooner rather than later. Little details of coaching are getting to be more second nature by the day, and my cube is feeling more like mine with each artsy magnet, plant, or funky postcard I hang up.
I've learned more acronyms than I think are necessary, have coached people on everything from diabetes management to exercise during pregnancy to weight loss to how to do strength training exercises in a hotel room when traveling for work without adding too much extra weight to your suitcase. I've talked with salespeople, truck drivers, teachers, stay-at-home parents, engineers, college students, and police officers from 21 years old to 73.
After manually dialing 90 people to only have 3 "reaches", or real health conversations, on Monday, I think I have forever driven away my long-standing fear of leaving voicemails.
Sometimes in the newness or monotony or quickness of it all, you can lose track of how much you have learned. I'm glad it's my Friday, even more glad that there's free coffee and tea at work, and very much looking forward to trip to visit some friends, see a concert, dance, bike, hang out outside, and celebrate at a Halloween party out of town this weekend.
But I think, after 3 months unemployed, that employment might turn out to be a fulfilling experience (at least some days) after all!
