This
really has been one of my most enjoyable weeks at work ever. And that is as
much as a surprise to me as it probably is to you.
I think it's because there are fewer problems to deal with. Everyone who is
here is here for the same reason and is doing the same activities. And they are
so well organised and we're so well prepared that we're not having too many
difficulties. In Summer, with all sorts of different things going on and all
sorts of different expectations from all sorts of different visitors, it always
seems like there's something that needs my attention. But this week, it's just
a rinse-and-repeat, cut-and-paste, each-day-the-same-as-the-last kind of
schedule and it means we're all on top of things, and at ease. The team is
great, and all enjoy what they're doing, and as a result there's a lovely,
welcoming atmosphere, and those who are joining us are buying into that and
expanding it. And the feedback we're getting is better than I could ever have
imagined. People are posting lovely pictures of their children smiling and
tagging us (if that's the right word) on all their social medias, and the
number of parents who have thanked us and praised us for what we're putting on
is genuinely heart-warming and humbling.
I know I can be a cynic, and a bit of a snob, and I sometimes use this blogsite
as a way to moan about how hard I often work and to moan about the humans I
have to encounter, but when we have weeks like this, I really could not be more
grateful to have the job that I do.
Happy Halloween, everyone xx.
