The Beginning

I started my new job today. I’m glad I started today and not tomorrow. BigWigs are going to be in the office tomorrow and the next day, and it’s supposed to be INSANE. yay, great, looking forward to it! :/

My unofficial titles seem to be Phone Answerer, Fridge-Stocker, and Mail Sorter/Distributor.
It’s really funny, because it seems that you are really sort of CHAINED TO THE DESK… but if mail or faxes come in, I have to drop everything to get them stamped and sorted and into everyone’s mailboxes… in the other room. Every couple of hours, I need to check the fridge and load up on water and sodas. These people drink water and sodas like there is no tomorrow! :) seriously, I went to lunch having stocked up on everything…and I came back, and we were down half the water & out of regular Cokes. lol :)

Overall, the few people I met today seemed nice, and I look forward to getting settled in … to my desk and as part of the team.

Just let me survive the next couple of days. They usually super dress up when BigWigs are in town, and I don’t have any super-dress-up work clothes. Super-dress-up meant business casual instead of casual towards the end of my time at the old office. I’m glad to see that this office considers corduroys business casual, because one of the girls in the office was wearing some. eheh :)

Anyway.. the area where the office is is really cute, and my desk is pretty cool. i can’t wait until it’s MINE and not mine + the temp’s. lol :)

I can’t wait until the weekend though. This working thing is tiring. ;)

No longer a bum,

    Aw, congrats on the new job… and hopefully it won’t be as stressful and insane as you’re thinking it’s going to be. It sounds like a nice place, the way you describe it. Having your own desk always makes things a bit better. Dressing up can be fun, too. I remember when I used to dress up at work. Haha.
