First Day
First day of work went well. I walked out feeling very positive, looking forward to my future. The people were nice, the bank seems like a very good place to work. Training is going to be extensive, before they ever put us near the teller line, which definitely is a good thing. Training is like school – which for me is fun. I found out that my insurance will indeed kick in the day I am eligible. Now I just need to somehow verify that it does actually cover IVF – I’ve been kicked by the universe too many times to take it for granted that the law will actually come into play, even though there seems to be no loopholes for it to be ignored. We’re getting closer.
I am glad, however, that I waited this long to get a job. I could probably have done it a month ago, but not before that. Having to be around people who don’t know, having to be cheerful and positive… it’s hard, at times. Actually what I had the hardest time with was concentrating. I kept thinking about other things, wondering if people were going to ask about children and such. I actually do that a lot while driving, which is a little scary… but I’ll suddenly blink and realize the last thing I remember doing was two streets ago. This attention thing is getting better with time, but it’s just now getting to the point where I think I can perform a professional job to an acceptable degree.
I think I’m going to like working two very different part-time jobs. I like the change, the challenge. I would do well with a full-time desk/paper job, but right now I enjoy the one job I have had and it looks like my other job will be enjoyable as well. Different, but good. I like keeping my brain busy.
I came home and played WoW. Drained my brain, sapped my energy. Zoned out. Watched some olympics. Not much left over. I like it that way now.
yay!! for you natalie. i was thinking you were starting work soon (i have not been on to read in a couple days) and am glad to hear it went well. i too dread the children question…”how many children do you have?” is what i hear and then i debate 2 or 3…2 or 3…i KNOW i have 3 but do i want to explain “well…c is a twin and his brother was born still….” i donno. amazingly i worry about it much more than others do. and i have found that, sadly, most people don’t really listen to the answers to their own questions. they just nod and smile. believe me. i’ve tested them. :)
i watched the olympics too…it’s fun…no brainer time. you have to email me your cycle info once you get set up. i think we are going to be cycle buddies!!
I’m so glad that things went well and that this looks so positive.
Welcome to the world of banking!
I was thinking of you today, glad things went well!
Glad that it went well. It’s hard to be around people who don’t know, but you will get used to it.
glad it went well hun.
Well done you! I’m glad it went well – just take each day as it comes…things will get easier.
Hugs.
Devin must be so proud of you!!!…
…So glad everything went well, he is surely protecting and sharing every new step eith you! ;)
Ahh! I’m so, so glad to hear it went well! Training, I’ve found can be one of the more enjoyable aspects of work altogether. I’m glad you had a good day.
P.S. If you like WoW, I suggest Warhammer, which comes out in September. It’s another MMORPG, and so far the beta has been awesome. Really takes your mind off of everything. :)
My hubby has been playing Warhammer beta… he’s trying desperately to get me to join too. LOL (Can’t get into beta now, but he wants me to play when it comes out.)
Glad your first day went well!
Yay! That’s great news.
