Y'all don't have a post yet!!
I just realized I haven't been here much this week at all and I miss it.
The new position is really starting to take off. I'm about to halve my case load again, b/c they've got me so busy and I'm about to get more busy. I'm enjoying the new challenge, for sure. I've had a much better attitude about work generally. I'm also very impressed by the HR person. I have absolutely changed my mind about her and I can see where the changes she's making are really great. I know a lot of the other staff still aren't on board, but as HR said, "Some people can't accept change and that's okay. They'll find someplace that fits them better while we move on." And, TBH, a lot of the Bitter Bettys are just people who aren't going to be allowed to coast by on their jobs like they have been. I suspect we're about to have a majority of new staff in the next 6 months. It's somewhat mean of me (maybe not?), but the negative work culture that had been cultivated and maintained by the current managing paralegal and her favorites, is being pushed out and I'm happy about it. I have always said that my place of employment didn't have to be a horrible place to work if they'd start changing things. Now they have and I'm all in.
Otherwise, SSDD. I'm starting to plan my small circle Halloween party. At this point it just looks like me and K and 3 other people, maybe 4.
