Festival days

The weather had finally lost its post-storm humidity, there was a cool breeze blowing through and a kind of springlike warmth. The perfect kind of day for enjoying the park. The fair had come up in Yalsnag park almost overnight and the whole and everyone from 2 towns over had come out to enjoy the weather.

Elaina’s office had been instrumental in organizing the fair, while for everyone else things had come up overnight, Elaina had been working tirelessly with Jenna her new intern to get the fair in order. A lot of the work she had needed help with was to get her team to do the work they needed to do, and Jenna was able to take over a lot of the smaller paperwork things that had been driving her crazy before.  

All in all, she thought that things had been successful. The city rec center was premiering a bunch of new programs, there were tons of new paths all though Yelsnag for running and biking, and she had Jenna work with their business liason Alex to bring in food vendors for the fair who would rotate in and out of the park.
Still, everything wasn’t quite settled. She had started looking at those job sites again now that Jenna had helped free up some of her time. From time to time the same unsettled feeling she had a few months ago would creep back in. That if she worked just a little harder she could get hired again in one of those big cities, with big award-winning projects. Most of the time within half an hour she would shake it off and turn her focus back towards the fair and all the other projects she was working on.

Now looking around at all the payoff from the work she’s been doing, Elaina smiled to herself and within 3 minutes of walking around the festival, she knew she wouldn’t need to worry about being in too small a pond. There was always more she could work on, more things she could improve, and now she didn’t need to worry about what could be.
