Professional Resolutions
So I’ve made some personal resolutions, but I thought I would try to make some professional resolutions. Now that I’m back at work, I feel disorganized and behind. Why not clean up my act here.
1. Get the money that’s coming to me
This shouldn’t be too hard, and I am seriously ashamed to admit this, but there is money sitting in my budget that is for my raise. I just have to finish my position description questionnaire and get reclassified. This needs to be done now!
2. Be better to my students
Sometimes I hate my student assistants with a passion. That’s terrible. If I’m a better manager to them then I will get so much more out of them.
3. Attend a conference
I really need to attend a conference this year. It’s been since 2005, and conferences are a great way to get motivated, share ideas, and network.
4. Use my fancy planner
I spent a shitload on this fancy planner and I love it now, but I am afraid I will lose enthusiasm for it.
5. Be friendlier to my co-workers
I tend to be anti-social sometimes with co-workers who don’t directly affect me. I’m always with Mike around here, and he can so friendly. Usually it annoys me. Deep down I’m sure that I just wish it was he and I and we didn’t have to talk to anyone else. That’s probably not healthy. I think I could get a lot out of knowing my co-workers better.
One thing that I’m happy to report is that I don’t have to list getting to work on time as a resolution. Mike and I have really worked that out. Somehow it just happened naturally over the past year. Back in the day that would have topped my list. Most days I’m the second person in my hall to get here (Herb being the first). I usually beat out Ken. I even beat out LG somehow.
