I Got a Job

I have finally been hired! Found someone to give me a job! The pay is not great and the benefits are not great either, but it is a job.

I had to do a drug test to be able to start my job. How funny! I can pee if I cough, laugh or sneeze, but I was unable to fill the cup to the proper level when I had to turn in my sample. So funny because a couple of my friends work at the lab that I went to. My friend accused me of being "one of those" and sent me out to sit in the lobby again with my drink of water. I was not able to leave the building either. I was trapped until I could pee. Just plain silly. Once this was accomplished, I was thrilled!

My new job is a corporate job. The people are politely friendly. I have been issued a "cube". I am almost afraid to decorate it. Everything is gray upon gray upon gray. I think pink would break up the color scheme they have going on. Already been privy to the back stabbing and whispering . Joy. Hope I can survive. Is it really worth it?

I am working 7-3, which is not bad. The job is looking for lost or misappropriated money. I really don't have to work with people on the phone, so that is good. Once I get done training, I will be on my own and I am really looking forward to that. I already get bugged because even though my trainer has been doing it for 3 years, I can see how she is inefficiently using her key strokes. Don't worry, I am keeping my mouth shut.

We'll see how it goes! ;-)

New blogger?

Oh Lord! Once again, something has been "improved upon". I am all for change for good, but when I logged in, blogger would not let me see my website. It let me see blogs I follow, but not my own blog! I guess it is time to wrap up my Creative Writing class and get out of here before I am unable to read my blog any more. I eventually found "old view" and was able to find this. Still not quite sure how I am going to keep figuring it out. Better get blogging!

They just did this to me at my real estate job too. Once again, improved upon without input from "the People". I was able to navigate through that too. Can't believe how they thing some things are an "improvement".

I hope this means I will be a progressive old person! Trying Twitter, Facebook and etc. Learning how to navigate through them.

One of my favorite computer sayings is "when in doubt, bail out". Just close what you are working on if it get to be too much and reboot the computer.

Whatever works!
