Day 3
So, today's my 3rd day at my new job.
Yesterday wasn't too bad - I think I'm starting to catch on.
This company is so much on the edge of technology that I'm trying to get back to speed seeing as how my last company was the equivalent of the stone age. It's hard to not feel like a dope condsidering I'm a person who likes to catch onto things immediately and expect a lot of myself. I'm hoping that by Friday of this week I'll be up and running like pro (or at least a semi-pro).
Today my boss is out of the office and the woman training me won't be in until the early afternoon - so I'll be flying solo this morning and I'll have the opportunity to tinker about and get myself adjusted without anyone sitting next to me (nice and low pressure). It'll also give me the chance to get done some of the online classes that I need to do.
It snowed again yesterday - notsonice.
What blew my mind is that my trainer was like "that's it, I'm leaving and I think you should too" at around 4:00. She marched into the boss' office and stated "we're leaving now" and the boss didn't flinch.
WOW.
As I was packing up he told me to drive home safely and left it at that.
I'm convinced that I'm a little shell shocked from my last job.
I know, logically, that this is how it's SUPPOSED to work, but for the past 2 years it's been the complete opposite. I was in a company who would keep you there until 5:oo regardless of how bad the roads would be getting - they simply didn't care - and if you tried to leave early you were told that you couldn't.
I know I've said it before, but I'm going to say it again. My last job was like being in an abusive relationship. And now that I'm out of that "relationship" I'm a little over-excited about simple things that companies SHOULD provide their employees.
I'm also about the most dressed up person there - I'm so used to having to get "dressed up" for work but this place is all about the jeans and comfey clothes deal....I'm not yet comfortable with wearing jeans - maybe next week? I don't know. It's funny because I think they look at me and see someone who's "stiff" and "proper" but I'm really not....I'm just not used to that culture and I'm getting myself adjusted.
Ah well.
Guess it's about time for me to go get ready for day 3.

Thanks Steve !
Everything's going GREAT - absolutely love my new job ! I look forward to going to work and don't watch the clock all day waiting for it to be 5:00. When I get home I'm STILL in a good mood ! This is the job for me ! As to the muffins - HUGE hit ! I heard "she's a keeper" more times than I could count ! (little ego boost for me) Unfortunately I made so many that muffin day spilled over into a 2nd day !
