Thursday curiosity….

what’s something about your day-to-day job that would make people outside of your role go“…sorry WHAT??”

because I’ve had one of those moments today and I’m still not over it 🤣🙈 it’s only my third day… still trying to act normal, still nodding along like “yep yep I know what’s going on here”…and I spotted a few things in the community that were being done manually, that really didn’t need to be…. so I just went off, automated a few bits, tidied things up, made life easier where I could… nothing crazy (in my head anyway 🙈)

next thing I know I’ve got a message off my manager like “how did I do this job without you?” 😂…. which is obviously lovely BUT also??? it’s been 3 days calm down 🤣🙈

AND THEN… at 12pm I get told “you’ve done more than enough work this morning, go take a nap or something and come back at 3pm” 😭😂

A NAP???…. in the middle of the day???…. I was fully sat there looking at my screen like… is this a test??….. do I say no??…. do I pretend I’ve got loads on?? 🤣

because in my old world if you stopped moving for 5 minutes someone was asking questions… and now I’m being told to go have a lie down like I’ve had a big morning at nursery 😂🙈

I can’t tell if this is luxury or I’ve accidentally joined a cult but either way… I’m not mad about it 🤣

and it got me thinking… there are SO many moments in our jobs that would sound completely unhinged to someone on the outside… the weird wins…. the random messages… the stuff that just becomes normal to us but would make no sense to anyone else

so, please tell me…. what’s happened in your job that would make people go“nah you’re chatting rubbish” 😂….. answers in the comments.

I hope you are all having a great week ✨❤️😘
