new haircut

written by Jen on Sunday, September 21, 20088 Comments

I got a haircut today!

new haircut

I am feeling renewed and invigorated. I had been having a rough couple of weeks at work and really wasn’t happy. Of course I can’t go into any detail here but part of it was to do with the hours (which started off as school-friendly and then increased to almost full-time) and there was also an “incident” that left a very bad taste in my mouth. After a meeting with the two business owners, we aired a few things and came up with a win-win situation. As of Monday, I am back to 9.30am to 2.30pm which means I will have every afternoon with the kids and lots less stress and mummy-guilt.

We realised that my current position really needed to be full-time if it was going to work properly but luckily for me they didn’t want to lose me or my skills, so they will fill my Print Manager position with a new full-time person and I am going to be given a part-time position in the Web Team. I will also be doing some customer consultations and project-based work for the Print Team as well, as I already know that side of the business. I feel much happier about it all and excited to be having a change and getting stuck into coding and web management.

As for the “incident” that happened last week, I received a very sincere apology and felt so much better as a result. It really is amazing how an hour’s chat can work out so many issues and put things right.
