Time to take a deep breath

May 27, 2023, Saturday night, 10:05pm, Pacific Standard Time, apartment in Dana Point, California,USA. Work was busy today. The first day of a three holiday weekend, with most staff off and out of town. Not an ideal situation. Truth be told, it doesn’t matter. The Palm Desert branch as a whole is going through a transformational phase at the moment. Employees are leaving, checking out, and/or burning out. I understand. I am going through it myself. Thankfully, there is new staff starting the week after next and the new director is coming on board the following week. We also have a plan to address weeknight and weekend coverage. Of course, a plan doesn’t help right now. It is going to be stressful (even more so than usual) for a little while. Time to take a deep breath and remember, everything will be alright.
