Ok, seemed to navigate day 1 without creating a reef of grief. Fell asleep during the yoga exercise, hopefully didn't snore too loudly. Looked at last year's results. Looks good so far. Keep quiet you idiot until you know what you are talking about. Vocalise here where nobody reads it and it can cause no concerns. Talk bout the kids and the holidays, keep it light.
There are many things that I wish I was good at. I've watched people walk the room and talk to everyone in sight, with a smile and some smalltalk. I gave it a red hot go and hope that people see me as a fairly affable soul looking keen to get started in a new role (and not the annoying new person that knows everything). Work the absent minded professor role and see what happens.
I can't tell where the undercurrent is coming from, but it appears to be there - a group of people outwardly working together but a very strange vibe at the moment. It could just be new people working together and not quite gelling yet, I really hope so. It appears that there has been significant turnover, which has created administrative load.
Timetables today. Hopefully IT issues sorted out. It would be nice to get some time to walk the school and learn the lay of the land. Need a spec teacher stat! Get a few boxes of stuff out of my garage and onto my shelves. It's all a very odd feeling. Start operational plans and budgets.
Back to waking at 5am. This is good as I've been sleeping in too long and was wondering if it was an age thing. Hives on my left wrist telling me to calm down. I'm so excited though!! Enthusiasm is a good thing!
