Meep, Meep. Get Out Of The Way, I’m Driving!

The slump is over for the most part. Last week I wrote about the struggle to learn my new role at work. Today I have good news. God’s message through my Bible Studies teacher was right on the money, and I’m feeling like I have wings.

We call it “driving” when you’re in training and put out in the real production world to do your job. Mind you, you have a senior person who sits and listens in as you talk to people. They kibitz and point at the screen and tell you what needs doing. But at some point they kick back and let you drive – hopefully not over the cliff.

The cliff is there. If you get itchy fingers on the keyboard you can cause loads of trouble. The kind that makes the news. But if you exercise caution it’s productive stuff. Suddenly, all the bits and pieces, screens that had flashed by, the handouts and lectures, the whole schmere, begins to fall into place like giant blocks in a bad game of LSD infused Tetris.

Tuesday I handled a bunch of stuff. Needed some help, but actually had a clue on much of it. Even knew some shortcuts that were logical given the situation – my instructor was surprised. Yeah, Baby!

But I know that won’t last forever. There’s a slick corner ahead. I will hit a wall and scrape some paint off the car.

Today, however, I got to race around the track with the engine floored.

Today was a good day.

When you finish reading any book (especially mine) please review it at www.amazon.com, www.barnesandnoble.com, and www.goodreads.com. Your review increases the chances of someone looking for a new book greatly. Authors appreciate your review, even if it is just “I thought this was a good read and will give it to my dog to chew. I especially liked the ending, because it made me feel better when he killed all of the main characters. (no spoilers, please)” Those few words (more than 20, fewer than 1,000 is ideal), and a 1-5 rating, make or break how the search engines find us. Thanks in advance.
