Team leader

I see that blogger is available in three more languages; Hebrew, Arabic and Persian. I guess by that we are supposed to get a better feel of how big the Internet is? Well, I'm still just a guy that fell out of a tree and I've been writing about my time after it, for the whole world to read. Officially I'm the team leader at work. We had a group meeting on Monday night and our area manager told the whole group of my status. He has big plans and I hope that he doesn't think one person is going to change the results of the whole team. But I can say that having an extra person like myself working and visiting people/customers will help take care of a lot of loose ends and stuff that wasn't getting done timely before. I hope my personality will help the team continuity and overall well being of everyone in the team. In our business, many times just pulling in the driveway of a customer, being there at the right time, will result in a sale. Since May of last year we have been short on personnel, which has hurt our overall sales in my opinion. If team members have to go to work everyday for 50+ days straight it's diffinently not a good thing. I understand new employees don't grow on trees but, that still doesn't make it right.... We've all had some productive days since and we also now have a schedule through the end of February, so everyone knows when they are working. I'm getting more comfortable with work and everyone is getting more comfortable having me around slowly.
Right at the moment, I'm still not the same person I was before the accident. I've had experiences that were not part ofmy life before. The "quirks" are still there but either they are slowly fading or I'm getting used to them being part of my life. I have some tingling in the tips of my fingers on my right hand that doesn't change very much and is more noticable in the evening. Again I don't know if the work distracts me from noticing it or if it is really more prevalant at night? The palatte sensivity has gotten better too, it's not back to normal but better. The balance is a lot better and I'm going to try some sking on Saturday. Hoo-rawh... My kids know I'm going and Carole will be alright with it as long as I wear a ski helmut, that I was going to get anyway. It's one of those things, if you have a $5 head get a $5 helmut, I don't think so.... So stay tuned and I tell you how the sking went.
