Busy busy busy - not all work

I've been attending meetings and doing lots of reading and research. I'm at the place where the introductions have been made, and expectations have been set. Now comes the follow through.

I can more and more of what I will be doing, but I am having a tough time figuring out how to dive in. There is such a huge difference between just sitting down at the keyboard and whipping out a bunch of reports and programs versus stepping back and coming up with a plan that reaches across the entire organization. It involves having to get a number of departments on board and moving together. It involves understanding policy and procedure and, when necessary, changing them.

Last night I was at an event the company held to celebrate its employees. What an amazing thing to witness. I left there feeling incredibly proud to be part of such a caring and enthusiastic organization.

But I've been running back and forth and have not had much time at home to blog. My brother has been sick and I've been visiting with him. He took a turn for the worse last night so I am back there later today.

Where do the hours go?
