Re: Working moms checkin
I work in a pediatric dental office and love it! I love working with the kids all day, but I especially love working with my special needs patients. They have a way of making you appreciate simple things in life that I tend to take for granted. Gives me a reality check most days!
Qotd: favorite part is that it is ever changing the days are never the same. I also love being outside.
This week was pretty good, a friend of mine received a promotion into the supervisor position in our department so that's awesome.... other than that there's nothing else going on!
My favorite part of my job is the level of freedom that I have from my manager. She trusts me to do my job and not waste time. The level of trust makes me feel appreciated.
My favorite thing about my job is that it's fulfilling on an emotional level--what I do directly benefits students. I'm an editor for a school district, editing all documents and written materials. Once in a while, I'll have a really fulfilling victory. Once, I found a mistake where a document listed the incorrect due date for elementary school applications. If I hadn't caught that, several thousand kindergartners would have been shut out of their desired school. That felt really good.
I feel bad responding to this post, because my answer is always the same. Work is work. I do the same thing, at a computer, day in and day out. Nothing changes. It's highly repetitive and quite annoying.
QOTD: My favorite thing about my job is the freedom. As long as I meet my deadlines, I don't have anyone micromanaging my every move. Ever wonder how I have so much time to bump during the day? ;-)

@ludali Pumping is a pain in the ass.
I'm actually probably going to stop pumping soon though. Before I was getting 20-22 oz between my 3 work pumpings. Now I'm lucky if I come home with 4 oz at the end of that. I still pump at the exact same times, for the same amount of time. Unfortunately, since getting pregnant my supply has dropped. We've already started supplementing (obviously or he'd be starving with my output). I'm currently dealing with cracked nipples that get irritated and bleed from just wearing a bra. Pumping for the last week has led to lots of tears and frustration from the pain and lack of milk. I'm trying to give myself permission to stop now. I'll feel like I will regret it, but I also feel like it's not necessary to continue.
Sorry for the novel...

My job isn't as exciting as it can be because I'm still "the new girl". I'm not allowed to get into the nitty gritty type stuff just yet and it's annoying because I know I'm capable of it.
But with management being in another state it's very hard to prove myself.
This week was extra difficult for me because I was not acknowledge in 2 separate cases on items that were highly visible for the very-very-high-up-management. I wasn't notified of this until it was already distributed to the VP so it's hard to chime in now and not look like a baby.
I'm struggling trying to find my fitting into this team. I've thought over and over (especially this week) that although this was the field I THOUGHT I wanted to be in, perhaps I should have accepted the other job offer I had pending when I instead accepted this one instead.
QOTD: I love that my job requires lots of int'l knowledge (business/customs/laws/etc). I love int'l business and hope to do lots of int'l travel because of this job - but unfortunately I'm very far from that point in my career at the moment.
Qotd- I have awesome benefits! I have a ton of pto that I get to use every year. So that's nice! I also love my team! It's a great group of individuals!
We didn't get any where I live but the mountain passes between here and Wyoming got a ton!
