Last weekend was rather interesting. I spent 9 hours grooming 5 Poodles on Saturday, and then got a call from our professional photographer who wanted to cancel Sunday's appointment due to the rain. :-( Reluctantly, I agreed as we ended up with quite a downpour. However, Sunday ended up being beautiful, and we had Peter snap a few photos of us with the pack of Poos and Goldens. I used this picture to mail out Christmas cards.
Chloe and I started agility training on Friday. It was a lot of fun, although it was COLD - 45F outside. Chloe really enjoyed herself, especially getting hotdog treats, lol!
Things at work are settling down somewhat. The Board considered my suggestion for the CEO, CW, and she will be starting on January 14th. In the meantime, I have learned soooooo very much from this huge ordeal.
- Never try to predict someone's behavior. At best it is simply a guess. Certainly don't bank on a given response.
- Even when it is going to be deleterious to someone, follow the rules.
- Don't take what happens at work so personally. Don't expect praise from the Board, and don't get disappointed if they seem to be displeased or if I don't get the kudos I think I deserve.
- Derive value and pleasure from the things that matter most in life - my family and my home life. I have value outside of work.
