a new direction

i had a meeting with my boss the other day, following up on our last talk about my taking on a new position within the school. as he'd said, it was a done deal and he basically just explained my duties in detail (over about half an hour). it was funny, cos when he later asked the main person in charge to come in and add to what he'd said - which was difficult, seen as he had no idea what i'd been told thus far - he uttered two sentences and that was it. but i'd much rather know too much than not enough. still, it was a bit daunting, cos my boss kept coming up with new ideas of things to do and services to offer, which was all very nice and well, but seemed a bit much considering i'm walking into something totally new. i'm completely capable, it's not that. it's just that i can just feel i'll be thrown in at the deep end... then again, that is the best way to learn!

so, the new contract will come into effect on May 1st, and then things will be officialised a couple of months later, when i've got into the swing of things. well, all of things once i've signed the formal contract, of course. one thing at the time.
