Meeting my other half

I have been covering for the Business Manager in the school for a couple of months now ( give or take a week or 3 when I was in New Zealand). It has not been without is challenges but it is one of the best experiences of my life.

I was coming along the corridor today and saw a lady standing in front of me and realised that this was Fiona – the lady I am covering for while she is on maternity leave. I just knew it was her and I felt like I had known her for ages. Maybe it is because I sit in “her” space. I don’t know.

We had a cuppa and I cooed over her lovely baby ( that she came with the baby was probably another giveaway) and she told me her plans for coming back to work.

I feel like another important piece of my jigsaw round my involvement with the school has been put in place.

Now if I could only find a way to stop pushing bits of paper round my desk where I have still not worked out either the process – or the person who can help me with the process – I would be the happiest woman alive.  I met other Business Managers at an event last week and I was glad to hear that mine is a common experience. It is amazing how sharing that sort of information can lighten a load.

Still eating that elephant in wee chunks. Patience Jackie.
