I have made it past the first month at my job. It hasn't been an easy time but I feel I am learning to cope with stress. I have followed Mario's advice and guidelines about prioritizing and keeping everything in perspective, remembering that I am just human and have limits. Most importantly, I have learned that there is some work that simply won't get done today, this week or even maybe this month, and that is OK.
Once again, Mario has been by my side during these difficult, adjusting weeks. Not only has he been patient, but has also given me very valuable advice and helped me with a very time-consuming project. Looking forward, I would like to continue learning about the business but, more importantly, about becoming a more well-rounded person.
And tomorrow is Valentine's Day, a celebration I used to daydream about when I was younger. However, Valentine's Day is not a date I particularly celebrate anymore ....because life with Mario is filled with Valentine's days.
