Time Warp

Yes, I realize Time Warp is not the name of a cheesy sci-fi movie, but it is from a cheesy sci-fi movie.  Plus it accurately describes just how this last week has felt.  I think it has to do with the holidays.  The closer they get, the more time just passes me by.  I realized on Saturday that I hadn't posted my blog for the week.  So here it is.  I will also try to post one this coming Thursday, but if I don't have anything to write about then I won't.  Well this past week has been a whirlwind of activity.

Last Monday we had our Staff Retreat.  This was quite a bit of fun because we played some games, and we got to talk about our personality evaluation results. We took the Disc Indra and the Teamwork tests.  My Disc Indra put me between Patient and Modest. The descriptions that went along with it, I felt were pretty accurate. Its possibly the most accurate personality test I've ever taken.  I think that is what I liked most about it.  My Team role was the Flexor, but on the side of Refiner.  This means that I have the ability to fill any role which needs filling, and pay attention to details.  The flexor role definitely fits me.  In the office I'm always willing to do what needs to be done, whether its creating a program from scratch, or running a program that has already been established, or even participating in a program as a student.  This has always been true about me.  When I played softball I was flexible between right field and catcher....not two of the most thrilling positions, but I never complained in either position.  In fact, I enjoyed being catcher, I was pretty good at catching those foul balls. In high school on the Curling team I got the Team Player award because my coach said that I played every possible position and never once complained about it.  I have always been one to just roll with it. My boss says that quality alone could get me far in Extension. I hope so!

On Tuesday it was back to business as usual.  The week was fairly normal and uneventful.  Wednesday was the building Christmas potluck lunch.  That was alot of fun because we got to meet and interact with people that we rarely see.  I met a bunch of new people and had some very tasty food. The rest of the week I worked on busy work getting ready for the YAC Holiday Service project.

One big development is that our 4-H Program Advisor is leaving so I'm taking over some of her work. I pretty excited for that.  It will give me some really great experience for when I'm looking for a new job this summer.

Hopefully I'll have more to say on Thursday.  I'll prolly talk about the YAC thing.

Until then!
