As of last week, I am officially a working girl. Last week was my first week at my new job and it was great! I loved trying to figure out all the new words and programs I'll be using and getting to know my new coworkers better!
Monday felt like a long day because it was mostly paperwork and reading document after document trying to familiarize myself with words and phrases that I would be using/needing for my job. I was supposed to do some online training but the system was down so that got pushed back a few days. Overall, it was still a good day as I got a feel for the office and my new computer!
Tuesday picked up a lot more! I shadowed one of my coworkers and dove right into the work! I'm very much a hands-on learner so this was awesome for me! Before I knew it, it was 2 o'clock and we figured we should probably stop for lunch then!
Wednesday and Thursday were just like Tuesday- busy! I enjoy this new job because the day really does fly by and I am constantly doing work! It's also great because when I need to buckle down and do a task, I can plug in my headphones, turn on itunes, and get down to business! Thursday evening I finished all of my training and received my administrator credentials/access for one of the programs we use for work! Yay!
Before I knew it, it was Friday evening and my first week of work was done! I had an awesome week and my coworkers thought so too! They gave me a checklist of things to get done for the week and I got it all done and more! This week they're going to give me a bit more responsibility and let me "dip my toes in the water" with being responsible for one our classes! As I go along, I'll get more and more classes until I'm completely responsible for all of our North America classes! Whoo!
The one downfall to this new job is that my office could be used as a training facility for people going to Antartica! It's soo cold! I keep saying I'm going to bring a blanket. I'm pretty sure they think I'm kidding, but you just wait- I don't like to be cold! But, as long as I can drink Diet Dr. Pepper and listen to music while I work, I think I can suck it up and deal with it!
All joking aside, I love my new job! I'm really excited for what's in store for me and what the future holds. I'm so thankful to all the people that prayed I would find a job and that it would be good for me. God has blessed me immensely this year and I am so excited to use this new job for His glory!
