My new employee started on Monday, and in between my meetings and commitments, I’ve been trying to train him. I’m so grateful that he’s smart and nice because despite my limited time, he’s learning. And he keeps coming back. Yay!

I’ve apologized a couple of times for having him start during a timeframe where I’ll be traveling, but it’s just something we need to deal with. And thankfully, the rest of my group is willing to jump in and help while I’m gone next week. I really do have a great team, and so far the new guy is fitting in well.

I’m also thankful today to have done most of my packing and stuff ahead of time so I’m not so stressed. I am a little nervous flying alone overseas to a place that’s completely new. But mostly I’m excited. Oui!
