"One hundred years from now, as people look back on
our use of this continent, we shall not be praised for our
reckless use of its oil, nor the loss of our forests;
we shall be heartily damned for all these things.
But we may take comfort in the knowledge that we
shall certainly be thanked for the national parks."

~Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur, 1931

QuickPost-July 14, 2010

7/14/10: Yesterday was a learning day. My first day "alone" while the bosses went on their days off together, instead of split up. However, it was also our first day completely down one staff member, and I still have only worked here for two weeks. It is difficult to manage for efficiency when you don't have a good scope on the process. However, my bosses didn't actually leave for their days off, so after a few slightly hurt feelings and small consultations later, and a little less heat in the air (finally), everyone felt better and things were running more smoothly. Luckily, I watched Sarah have to repeat multiple parts of her job but persevere through it with a relaxed attitude. And thus I am kindly reminded that challenges are blessings in the form of reminders.
