Today went well--not terribly exciting, honestly, but I think I'm going to like it there...
...once they get the air-conditioning fixed.
I feel as though I've been slow-cooked in my own juices all day--like a pot roast.
I definitely like my bosses, though. They as much as confessed that they're not quite sure what all I'm going to do; the official job title appears to be "Jack of All Trades" and so I'll be doing a little bit of everything. Which is fine with me, but I'm anxious to get started.
(Not that the past is behind me, even the parts I wish would go away: at 9:15 AM I got a call from Amy looking for a password to my old machine. Like the new tech couldn't have reformatted the machine--oh, wait. That would only have worked if the new tech was THERE, as opposed to keeping his own schedule totally not in keeping with everyone else's. Much more pleasantly, around midday I heard from the Brit, via e-mail: "Weird, your not being here." Yeah, to say the least. I miss him so damn much.)
I think I'll like the new job; I just wish it would START.
No AC! ACK!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, the first week is mostly orientation, so have patience, young Jedi.
Glad you had a great start, albeit a warm one!
ReplyDeletenot only should you have patience, but you should try to do as poor a job as possible in this first week. That way you're bound to show constant, steady improvement. Break things and go, 'Ooooops!'
ReplyDeleteI don't what either you or he says. He wants you. He emailed you - AT HOME - on your last day, and now again on your first. Puh-leeze. He can't stop thinking about you. He doesn't want to lose you. Girlfriend or no, he wants you. Simple as that.
ReplyDeleteKa, I hereby hire you as Final Arbiter of Everything.
ReplyDeleteNot because I necessarily think you're right--though of course I hope so!--but because I do SO love that interpretation of things.
Brando, there's nothing good to break. I've looked.
The A/C was fixed today, fortunately; in fact, towards the end of the day I had to un-freeze the tip of my nose a couple of times. I'm not complaining!!
