newly employed & sooo not in the loop

Alittle bit more about myself, I'm an occupational therapist working at a school for children with special needs- a really great school. This week is the start of the 3rd week of my new job, and while it is a super great environment in a place that i reeeeeally wanted to get hired- i can't help but feel a little bit lost. I don't have clear deadlines for when i need to turn in reports. And during team meetings- i'm almost under the impression that my "specialized" opinion does not really count or matter. It seems i stepped in mid-year and everyone has their routine going.

On the flip side the other occupational therapist seem really knowledgeable and great but i'm having a hard time getting to know them. For goodness sake i have not even went to lunch with anyone yet... aside from a lunch meeting a had with one employee. I also feel like i should know a great deal more then i do. Its my first job so i know there is alot to learn. I guess i'm just so used to being the loud and in charge person and now that i'm the new girl on the block who doesn't feel confident i have lost my voice alittle bit.

In other news... we have a new president and i truly wish him the best. I am in no way political so i don't want anyone to think i'm trying to be. However after hearing the amount of money that was spent on today... i almost wish they would have reconsidered and had a nice small party for about ooooo $100,000 and put the rest of that money (i think was alot of donations) into the economy. Then again i don't think i really needed those new Frye boots i just bought... so who am i to judge?

OOO! exciting when i spelled checked i didn't have any missed errors except for my lack of "i" capitalizations! Wahooo, wasn't such a downer day after all.
