This morning the first bid that I wrote (using an estimate from our project manager, who’s been doing Zack’s tasks as he recovers) was accepted and signed. It’s a bit like working 1:1 with a struggling student and watching the light bulb go off because you know that you communicated clearly, set a measurable and attainable goal, and now both parties can agree to move forward.
I am continually amazed at how easily lessons I learned as a teacher can be applied to my new life as a care giver, remodeling company office manager (is that what I am?), advocate for health care/recovery.
