My first day at the new job was awesome. I was there for 2 hours. My boss got stuck out of town so I filled out some paperwork, was shown around my new office and left.
Today we did a little more. I figured out where stuff was in my office and on the mess of an agency wide share drive. I share my office with an intern a couple days a week until December. I haven’t met intern yet.
I did random office tasks, argued with the postage machine and felt generally overwhelmed by the new position. My previous job had very set tasks, goals and was monitored closely. New job is very autonomous, the position is new, the boss is busy and I’m a little lost. The administrative part of my job has been filled by temps for the past year so the other staff members are used to dealing with the new kid.
The storm forced everyone into the basement for the last part of the day. There are lots of fallen tree limbs around my house but surprisingly I saw no car or house damage. We win nature!
