The last few days have been full of all kinds of activity. The largest amount of my time has been spent reading materials that are related to this new job. The disaster recovery plan alone is a full 4” binder of materials and an accompanying CD of supporting documentation.
Gradually, I am discovering a theme to all of this. I am already getting a sense for the things that will need to be done in order to have services established for this organization and all of the BOCES and school districts it serves.
The people here have been great. Many have made a point of stopping by and introducing themselves. They have offered assistance with anything that I need – and delivered on that offer when I have asked.
The biggest change in my day has been the significant reduction in chaos. Each day used to be filled with such a flurry of activity that getting to my own work was nearly impossible. Now, I am able to focus on my work and actually make headway. I’m sure there will be more chaos as things get rolling faster, but it feels pretty good to get to the end of each day and know that there has been forward momentum.
There are many things I miss. But those details will have to be published later.
