Mike' Make Over Madness!

[pearlieq]

Hi Mike!

Congrats on all you've accomplished while you've been so swamped at work! Sounds like you're doing really well juggling it all.

That cool you were able to talk about your journey with your staff and colleagues. I know it's always a hard conversation and I'm glad to hear they're so supportive!

I hope you have a great day and that things simmer down between the staff.

Take care!

Glad to hear that you are surviving training week. It is great that you were able to share your weight loss journey success with others. That say it. You are stuck with us now until the end.

Hope that today goes well for you.

Hi Lesli,
Thank you!! I wouldn't want to be stuck with any other great group of people!!!

Mike

 

[Mykelogan]

Just a few more days now, Mike! I'm sorry to hear about the friction between the two staffs, but like you said... it's probably just an initial reaction and everything will be fine soon. You know... you can always invite both staffs out for pixie dust smoothies!

I'm glad that you had the chance to share your weight loss journey with your group. You have done a fabulous job so far, Mike and I bet you have encouraged several people and inspired them too.

Have a wonderful next few days, Mike!

Hi Tracy!!

Things aare settling more today, ie. the angry folks are speaking to me again. As for the long term, they will be fine. They just need to process the hurt. Thanks so much for your support! It means a lot!

Thanks Pearlieq!!
It was great to tell them everything. Made me feel free-er too, you know? I know I can rely on them for support if things get rough, just like I can all of you!

Hi Mike!!!!!

glad to see that things have slowed a little and that you are able to post a litle. Hope you are having a great relaxing weekend.

Keep up the good work

Hi All!!

I've been up and going since 7am today, and am now just home as we approach 12:30am, yay! LOL So much work done today, my hall looks good (at least what we have done to decorate is cool, as for the physical issues we have several incomplete work orders I am not happy about!) and now as my RAs finish picking up the mess in the lobby from us painting our windows I am heading to bed. Tomorrow is THE day!! The day they all come back!! Waaahhhh!!! Oh well, hope everyone is having a much more relaxing weekend than me! LOL

Take things in stride today Mike. Things will all settle down soon and then you will be back into your "normal" routine.

Keep up the great work and try having a fairly stressless day. Remember that in the midst of the screaming parents today, there are parents like me.

Have a good one.

Thanks for stopping by my journal! Have a great start to the school year, as well!

 

[pearlieq]

Hang in Mike! It's got to calm down soon. You're doing a great job managing.

I hope things go well today! Sending your way to make everything go smoothly!

 

[toystoryduo]

Hang in there Mike! Just a few more hours now. Here's some extra for the week ahead!

 

[keenercam]

Hey, Mike! Just wanted you to know I am thinking of you today and hoping you have as little stress as possible dealing with all your new students and the inevitably difficult parents!
I am glad you could share with your team your weight loss journey -- they will be an invaluable source of support going forward, especially when you have to share meals or snacks together. Sometimes, I am glad the people closest to me know what I am doing because they are always supportive about where and what I want to eat, but other times I feel like I am under scrutiny as those very same people keep an eye on how I am doing!

I hope this week for you is the end of the stress curve and that you can get back in to your normal routine!

Have a great one, kiddo!

 

[toystoryduo]

Hey Mike!

Hope that everything is going well for you! Are things getting back to normal at work for you?

Have a great evening!

Hi Cam!!

Thanks so much for your message! Things are slowly getting back to "normal", at least I can DIS again! hehe

Hi again Tracy! hehehe

THings are going pretty well! Lots going on as the students get settled in and learn the rules, but overall I am good! Normal is coming back now! hehe

Thanks so much for your messages!!!
Mike

 

[Mykelogan]

Hi All!!

So things are settling down finally and I am getting completely caught up on my DIS-ing! My staff rocks, they are great students and are so "there" when it comes to their work. I am finally able to come in the office past 8am again! hehe

I am psyched because I got two books by the Disney Imagineers today!! One is the Imagineers Guide to MK, and the other is The Imagineer's Way, a guide to increasing your creativity. They both look soo great! But I can't read them yet as I still have about 150pages of Harry Potter sitting waiting, and Wicked is on deck! hehe! I want to use the techniques/activities in the creativity book to prepare a workshop for our student staff and then maybe present it at a professional conference. We'll see!!!

I am off to read the boards! Be well and happy all!! The August Challenge ends tomorrow!! WOw!!!

Mike

 

[toystoryduo]

Wow Mike!

You have 2 new Disney books and you're going to wait to read them? I don't know if I could do that. I think I would probably pull an all nighter so I could read them both cover to cover.

Hope you have a great day tomorrow!

 

[Mykelogan]

Hi Tracy!

hehe! Well I would pull an all nighter to read them but for the first few weeks of the semester my average bed time is 2am or so, so sleeping for what few hours I can becomes a priority!

I do need to get to the grocery store today as I am dangerously low on veggies and salad fixins! I will also need to grab some cheese, lunch meats, etc so I can have some easy fixin' dinners as my nights are packed now!!

Hope you have a great day!!
Mike

p.s. Hi all! Before I forget! I just weighed in for the week and I am down 3lbs, yay! Two more pounds until I get a new clippie! heheh !
