I'm very happy for the weekend.

I'm very happy for the weekend. It's been a tough week!

I love my job and am so thankful for it, but we lost a teammate (moved to another project), several people were on scheduled vacation, and then a few more took off to attend our CEO's funeral. I don't begrudge anyone their time off no matter the reason, but not only were we low on staff, our ticket volume had basically doubled. 😬 It's no one's fault - sometimes things just happen like that.

When I say that I have been frazzled this week, it is no joke! The whole team has been. But *team* is the key word here. I feel really supported and I've learned a lot. I don't feel like there's anyone who isn't pulling their weight. I'm doing my best and am getting good feedback, so that makes me happy.

I also started more hours on this project at the beginning of the month. Hopefully, I'll do well enough that they'll decide to bring me on full-time. I would like that. I feel like getting to do nerdy tech stuff and helping people at the same time hits the sweet spot for me.

Happy weekend, y'all. We made it!
