I realize that I'm really bad about keeping up with my blogs, my Twitter, etc., but I really do need to get better! I have a Google Keep file called, "Daily TOSA," and I added blogging to the list most recently. So hopefully that gets me writing just a bit more.
The beginning of this year reminded me quite quickly that "things change" and "everything ends." I had to say a not-so-permanent goodbye to my old partner and say hello to my new one. I say not-so-permanent because she is still in the district. She got promoted to VP at the middle school. So that's awesome for her! And another TOSA retired, and the district hired someone to fill her position. And both of the new TOSAs are awesome and really easy to get along with.
It is weird, though, being the guy who has to guide these new TOSAs to some degree. I mean, I'm not telling them how to do their job, but I'm basically just showing them the ropes. It feels weird because I still feel as though I, myself, could be shown the ropes a bit more. But hey, you gotta roll with the punches, right?
I consider myself lucky. Last year, I had a great partner who really helped me get my sea-legs and inspire confidence that I can do this. I am lucky to get the opportunity to do the same this year. It could have been a lot worse... My new partners in crime could be hard-headed jerks who disagree with everything I say and do. Luckily, they seem like pretty even-keel folks who will get along with me swimmingly.
So I'll bring this post to a close since I have stuff to work on this week. I know, it is only Wednesday of the first week back, and I feel like I'm swamped already. But I guess I'd rather hit the ground running rather than try to find stuff to do.
Hopefully, I'll keep you updated a bit more from now on.
