A little over a week ago, I started a new full-time job
outside of the house. After 8 years of only working for myself, it’s been
different to now be following the scheduling of someone else. To be honest,
it’s really thrown me into a tailspin, trying to get used to the new schedule
while maintaining the other things that I’ve grown used to doing, for example,
writing my weekly blog. Yes, last week I missed that opportunity and yes, it
was because of the interruption of my usual week’s routine.
But tonight, I remembered that it was Sunday and time to
write something fun, witty and/or educational.
The job that I started was being an Asset Protection
Detective. Impressive, yes? It basically means that I’m a professional security
guard. The detective part is actually pretty interesting. It is detective work.
I get to solve mysteries and figure out “who done it” while maintaining a large
bubble of secrecy. I also get to catch shoplifters and help the company
prosecute them. This is not my most favorite part of the equation, but a
necessary part to keep the company assets safe.
It might take me some time to get a new routine down so that
I can continue to get everything done that I used to in a timely manner, but in
the end, I’m sure that I’ll be able to do that. It’s like other things in life.
Things happen to us each day in life to change what we had planned, even if
it’s very minor. We learn, throughout our lives, to adapt to these changes and
make them work. These moments prepare us for such things as what I’m going
through now. So, as this week
flies by, I’ll be documenting, planning and scheduling so that next week, my
blog will be up on time. Much like this one, but with more information about
whatever it is that I’ll come up with for you then. Make sense? Good. Have a
great week and let’s chat again next week, shall we?
