Am I Becoming a Workaholic?
My job has changed so much in the last couple of months. My boss has had so much faith in me, and has supported everything I do. I feel really lucky to have connected with this company and time has just flown by! Even my relationship with my co-workers has been been a wonderful experience.
Of course we have disagreed, but we have never argued or fought about how to do things and we have so much respect for one another. We all have the same mindset for the long-term goal, but also have unique methods and ideas for how to get there. The diversity is amazing.
I put more than just time into the company----it's like my own child that I want to help grow and develop into a flourishing company. I'm allowed to implement most of the ideas I have, and I gained so much confidence in my own competence. Yeah, things are so wonderful that I spend about 50 hours at the office, and usually bring work home with me----I'm the happiest workaholic ever!!
Recently I've been getting more responsibility on SEVIS, the Student Exchange and Visitor Information System, which is how we inform immigration about our students' progress. Before long I'll be issuing the I-20 document for all our students, and will become an F-1 visa expert!!!
I love that my job keeps getting more and more challenging and I can look back on the short seven months I've been there and see how our business has grown (from about 180 students to 260 students), but I can also see how I personally updated processes and made them more effective. Organization and prevalence is my thing, so it really makes me happy to have unfettered control! Also, I'm the unofficial graphic designer of our school!!!
Anyway, I got to get up and shower and get to work! Fridays are my favorite day in the office!!!
