First Week as a Team Lead

Hello Everybody,

I hope you guys have had a good week and a happy holidays, so far. My week was really good, and I had fun planning side projects. This week I also started celebrating the Holidays. I had two events on Friday to celebrate. At work we had a potluck and Secret Santa which were both a lot of fun. I was a bit late to the potluck as I had to run to Costco to grab stuff for the potluck. We had plenty of food though which was good. The Secret Santa was fun as well. I got some small plushes that I’ve put onto my desk to decorate it. I have no idea who got me them, nor do I know how the person I got a gift for liked what I got them. After work I also had a family celebration at my Grandma’s house. Friday was a good day full of good food and fun shenanigans.

This also the week where I transitioned into my lead role. On Monday and Tuesday, I wrapped up training with my lead before she left and I took the position on Wednesday. So far it seems like it’s been a smooth transition and I’ve been learning a lot. I’m really enjoying it so far. I love the troubleshooting and planning aspects of it. I’m learning a lot about the process and the corporate management procedure. It’s my first time in an official management position. I’m excited to see how this progresses and what it has in store for me.

Well till next week you guys. I hope you have a happy holidays and I look forward to letting you know what exciting things happen.
