The fog started rolling in during the mid morning, and created frosty leaves and branches in the park at work.
Yes, back to work finally, after a weekend filled with mostly rest, since my infection/cold got worse after working last Friday. I don't regret working that day, though... :)
On Friday I also saw a coworker who's been a supervisor before and has come back during the summer to fill in for our bosses going on holiday. I was surprised to see her, pleasantly surprised, but I did wonder what my role in the greenhouse would be since she'd come back.
I don't remember if I told you that I've been a mentor of sorts to coworkers? I've been encouraged to be that and also has that in my 'work description', to be someone coworkers can come and talk to and ask all sorts of things. Especially since our supervisors and boss are on the move and having meetings and stuff, my boss said it's so good to have me in the greenhouse for the coworkers. I've enjoyed being that, and when my old coworker came back I thought I have a new role, since she's got more experience than I. I thought to myself, that even if I'd be disappointed, I'd have to accept and adapt.
Today I had a short meeting, just a catch up, with my boss. A more structured one than the 'can I talk to you' ones I have now and then.
I asked her about my role in the greenhouse, now that the old coworker has arrived. I said I understand if it's changed and I can adapt. My boss told me that nothing has changed. She wants me in that role, and she wants me to take a larger role also, with my coworkers. She explained to me that the coworker has another role and she'll be taking care of new people arriving to do 'work practice' at the greenhouse. I was relieved!
I told one of my coworkers this later, and she was happy too. She wants me to be the one that takes care of her and our coworkers. That warmed my heart! :)
I'm still not well, so I slept for a long while when I came home. Feeling a little bit better every day and I'll be happy to see the back of this crap!
