sustainability audit...

So in many ways I really like having the Sustainability Audit as my primary responsibility, but it is a very BIG project and basically my brain child as the audit had to be completely revamped… I mean from step one really. It’s overwhelming because of the pure scope and potential for what could be done, and having to narrow down what we address.

I got a good first draft of the intro and ideas for formatting and then we had a meeting to review my progress and assign different tasks to everybody and make sure I was on the right track. Uh, that became a tense meeting at the point where we got into a little argument about the title…it really was so stupid and superficial, but yet again I am reminded that when someone tells me it is the way it is cause or will be the way I say because “I said so,” it does NOT go over well with Mary. I got pretty moody and confrontational, and really had to pull back into my own head and calm myself down before contributing more to the meeting. I was livid for a good 10-15 minutes and had to self-talk myself to a more agreeable state of mind.

Luckily afterward, Lorena and I had a little chat about what it was that irked me so bad and I have a feeling she probably won’t put things in that way again…it really did not go over well!
