dragonlady7Am early at work so figure I'll update a little.
I'm doing well here, learning the product lines and how to answer the phones and direct calls, and learning how the company works and all that.It's a nice place with nice people and a solid product I can certainly believe in.
The only problem is that I sort of feel like I'm pretending to be somebody else. I'm so much older and more mature than last time I was in this sort of environment that I'm certainly not reverting to my old learned office behaviors. So now I'm acting like some sort of person who knows how to act, which is not something I've ever really done before. (And on the one hand, I'm contrasting my old job with this place and saying thank God I got out of there, and on the other hand I'm remembering my reactions and thinking, poor bastards had to put up with me.)
Ah well. I have absolutely no free time nowadays; much as I complained that I could never really get into any tasks in the morning with my afternoon job, I could actually at least get caught up on little things now and then, and now I don't even have that. I can't so much as sew a button onto my pants in the morning. I know 6:30 isn't all that early to have to get up, but given that two nights a week I'm out till 11, I really can't afford to set my internal clock any earlier. I'm wondering what on earth I'm going to do to keep in shape-- this week there's been no skating, and roller derby is all meetings. I'd add in a jog here and there somewhere, but when?
This mythical free-evenings concept seems not to work-- Z's there, and I enjoy his company so much that I don't want to do anything by myself.
But we'll see, once I get into a routine.
Ah well, it's almost time to start working now. (I got here early so the receptionist could show me some stuff, but it turns out she can't at the moment, so, whatever.)
I should leave you with one bit of complete rad awesomeness.
My company's product will more than likely be appearing in Skymall.

Date: 2007-05-26 01:43 pm (UTC)I hate the first week of work, when you try to show up early so people can train you, but they don't show up early, so you're just sitting around, trying to look like you know what you're supposed to be doing.
