M4:D22 (D322) Reflection time

What I do is set aside an hour on Friday morning after my gym time.  I sit in a quiet spot with my journal and I reflect on the past week and I evaluate where I am at as far as all my personal and professional goals go.  I spend the time planning ahead.  I regroup so to speak.  It is a wonderful time that I look forward to each week.

This Friday  I will be reflecting alot on my personal and professional life as I move forward with certain issues.  I recently had an employee of 3 years quit.  For the past several months she has been making alot of mistakes while writing programming code.  I've been working closely with her to fix the issues, but they just have not been getting fixed.  On Wednesday morning she violated a department policy in regards to rolling out a new application.  When I questioned her on it she admitted that if she'd asked me to allow her to roll it out, she would not have gotten that permission.  She admitted that she had cut corners.  I told her that she was not thinking and that she needed to start thinking.  She took offense and, based on emotions, she walked out.  I will be reflecting tomorrow on what type of person I want to fill that position.  I will be considering my options and acting accordingly.
