Observations:
– I am really not good at meetings. They are so short because I can’t think of anything I want to ask/say, and I’m unclear as to what information I need to be getting to facilitate better graduate program recruiting. The woman I work for gave me a few basic things, but… not super sure what to do with it. I did the best I could, but I definitely need more practice (it’s weird that someone needs practice with meetings, right? I have sub-par social skills).
– I have noticed that my partner’s kids ask me questions/to do something for them before they ask their dad, even if I’m busy or if he’s right there and not busy. It’s very interesting, because children are taught that women caregivers are the primary caregivers, even when the caregiver hasn’t been their other caregiver for as long as their dad. We are working on this with all of the kids. Sometimes James is like “what am I, chopped liver!”
– I’m always tired!
