First day on the job and its gone rather well considering I didn’t have an ID to log on to anything. I took time to look through drawers etc. This is about the only time its acceptable to be snoopy.
I actually got to perform one task – logged in as someone else – but it was good to learn the one thing. Hopefully tomorrow my log on works – not holding my breath though.
Tomorrow should be interesting because my boss is gone all day tomorrow. So I’m not sure how much I’ll have to do.
I did make it to the pool for a 1/2 hour work out. That was FABULOUS to get back in the water and work out. It was colder than usual but still enjoyed. I also enjoyed the 10 minutes in the hot tub.
This week promises to be a long week. I’m sure I’ll settle in a bit, learn lots and keep moving forward. Right now though – I’m just plain whipped.
Hang in there! It's possible that your login wasn't ready because DOA was closed yesterday (the whole world EXCEPT the UW and schools were closed yesterday!) I think since it's still a quasi-state job, things need to be set up or approved by DOA.
I remember my first day on this job; my appointment letter directed me to room 601 but my boss wasn't in room 601 (he was in the adjoining room, 651) so I bothered an especially evil woman to help me. She sighed, rolled her eyes, lead the way…all the while making me feel like a total heel. It was AWFUL!
Just kidding!
The woman was really nice and, as it turned out, I got to work with her as time went on. – and she became a friend I could turn to (over and over and over). Of course, she's abandoned me now, but *sniffle* I'll survive…
Okay, 'nuff said. You have yourself a good day – and I hope they get your login going…if nothing else, you can read the news and celebrity gossip!
BTW – my (very neglected) blog is at http://nomisworld.wordpress.com/ You were having problems commenting on the Yahoo one so started one up on WordPress. 🙂
Apparently the person who was supposed to get me set up retired last Friday. So no one in that department had ever heard of me. I don't think DOA has much to do with the UW system… I think they work independently of the rest of the state system… I could be wrong…
As for the evilness – you were right on track until you ruined it with that sappy stuff… LOL.. I do miss you and once I get email at work we will be able to email during the day – I still need all the gossip from over there… 🙂
I actually spent a bit of time looking over web pages for professors and discovered a couple of errors – I was trying to decide if it would be rude to point them out in my first week… I probably will… in for a penny, in for a pound…
I've updated the link on the side so others can go to your blog as well…
