First Week

I'm in my first week at my new job. It's kind of a bizarre one, because my new boss is out at a training thing until Friday, so I'm here by myself most of the week. She left me a small list of things to do and people to contact, and I have a couple of meetings set up already with various people, but it's still pretty strange. I'm finding myself with a lot of time to sit here and try to find things to do. I don't enjoy that too much, but I am sure that it won't be that way for too long. Once I get settled into the position and people start piling stuff on my desk to do for them, I'll be plenty busy. So I'm trying to enjoy the relative calm.

It's a little strange being here, though. I am once again at a job where I am sitting at a desk for almost the entire day without getting up for much of anything other than to get something off the printer and to go to the bathroom. And I find myself getting very antsy! I didn't realize how much I moved around at my other job, but I guess it was a lot. Between checking on laptops and phones that are being repaired and popping in to the store to say hi to Jamie (hi Jamie!), I was moving around quite a bit. That's no longer true, and it's going to take some getting used to.

But I don't want any of this to sound like I'm complaining, because I'm not. Or at least I don't mean to. The job really is going to be perfect for me once I get into it. I just wish I knew more about marketing. I'm really going to have to work to learn about that side of the job.

School is also underway once again. I have an accounting class and a graphic design/animation class this semester. The former promises to be rather boring but not too taxing, the latter looks like it might be fun. And neither of them seem to involve any group work, so woo! I really needed a semester where I didn't have to deal with groups. They really suck a lot.

And now I think I need to go find a reason to walk around. My legs, they are so jumpy!
