Day two - A pretty good day at work and a great night at home

Not a bad day overall. I just recently started a new job (just last Monday) and trying to hit the ground running is not the easiest thing to do. I know they say you are your own worst critic and I know that I hold that mantra through and through. I have a bad habit of thinking I need to do everything perfectly, immediately. I was in training for 3 days and have only been on the phones Thursday, Friday, and today yet I have a hard time getting it out of my head that I should already be showing up the other employees. I know, overshooting, but that is just how I wind up thinking.
As the day progressed on I was starting down my usual mindset. As each hour passed and with no positive result I was slowly, yet surely, beating myself up. Towards the end of my day I was pretty frustrated.
Now, to back up a little, I talked to someone on Friday and thought I was getting somewhere. I talked to the guy for about 45 minutes, my supervisor talked to him for 45 minutes, and  then her boss talked for about an hour only to then find it was someone else's account. Not a happy moment.
Part 1 of my good day was that karma was my friend today. My supervisor had to go take a call on the other part of the floor. When she came back she said that call was for one of my accounts that another person called. It was actually the person that got my Friday account. A nice "you scratch my back I scratch yours" moment.
Part 2 of my good day was that in my last 1/2 hour, my next call after my boss told me about the call she took, I got my first account who is gonna sign. Granted, it is a reoccurring account, but hey, silver lining right!
When I get home my day really took off in a good way. Since I started this new job Ali has been asleep every night by the time I get home, not tonight!! My baby was wide awake, granted screaming her head off, but awake :)! Kenzie came over and just WANTED to be tickled!?!? Whatever, time spent is time spent, whatever we may be doing together!
So another day, and plenty to be happy about. Now to finish my day off with re-runs of ER. Talk tomorrow........
