So last week at work I was given a little project. Actually it was a huge project. I was put in charge, more or less, of screening, prepping, testing, training and coaching a new department that would wield incredible power. I ran around all week long, not only getting everything ready to go but also dealing with my own team and their impending transfer to a new supervisor.On Friday afternoon we held a meeting with all the other coaches letting them know all the processes that’d be starting first thing Monday morning. As soon as we were out of the meeting word came down from ‘on high’ that everything was on hold.

Now I’m well aware that sudden and constant change is a part of my business so the fact that things were, and still are, on hold doesn’t really bother me all that much. What does bother me is that I made sacrifices in order to be sure everyone was prepared. We didn’t screen as carefully as we should have, I didn’t get my team ready for their new coach as well as I could have; things just could have been done better.

So I was a little frustrated on Friday, but today there was a bit of good news. My boss told me that everyone was impressed that I managed to make things go as smoothly as it did. I managed to get a team put together in just four days and we were ready to go today, though we didn’t have to. I’m hoping that they keep putting stuff in my hands, its nice to see things go right.
