Hanging On
Today's Joy: Tenacity.
A big day at the new job, Reader. I was turned loose on the inventory system and started applying all the new skills I've learned. It only took 5 minutes before I was knee-deep in invoicing questions. Fortunately there are a plethora of people to answer my queries. Asking was a great opportunity to get to know my team better. Bless their hearts, they answered every annoying question and we laughed quite a bit. I stayed a few hours late to finish some work and was all in but the shoe strings by the time I left. Tomorrow will be another day of firsts as I tackle the weekly store reports on my own.
I really love the fact that in this position I have to be on my toes all day long. It's a refreshing change from the monotony of retail sales. Plus it's interesting to see this side of the inventory equation. There were a couple moments today when I felt in over my head, but then I'd learn something new and everything somehow fell into place again. Whenever I felt a little panicky, I took a deep breath and thought, God, you put me in this position for a reason and in order to do whatever it is you have in mind, I need to figure out how to do _________. Sure enough, the answer would come. It pays to be tenacious!
What are you tenacious about, Reader? What gets you fired up enough to throw your best at it everyday?
