First Day

It is ironic that I started a new job in September when I have always felt that September represents new beginnings. I guess that after being a student for so long that it makes sense to me that the new year starts in September and not January.

The day went by fairly slowly and I was happy to see 5pm. For the rest of the week I will be working 9:00-5:30 with an hour for lunch. While we are still at our old location we can dress "casual" for wednesday to friday with monday and tuesday being business casual. We move to the new location October 17th (I think that is the date we were given). We got our computer logins and learned a little about the systems we will use. Within the next three months we will be expected to do 25 "statements" per day. I did 2 in about 30 minutes today so I expect that I will be up to expectations by then. After 3 months we need to do 35 statements.

There are 5 others that started with me, one of the girls has a different postion then the rest of us. It seems like a good crowd to work with. I met my manager for a few minutes. Right now I am training with another team but will get switched over to my team. Once I transfer to my team I will be working 10:00 - 6:00.

I will see how things continue but so far so good.
