Day two, and I still like my job and they still seem to like me. They've given me a permanent security badge with my picture on it (in which I look like I'm stoned, but I was really just very sleepy) and a name plate for my cubicle, and my co-administrator keeps thanking me for being so easy to train and telling everyone that I'm doing a great job, all of which I'm taking as good signs that I won't go home today and find out I'm fired. *knocks on particle board*
That would truly suck, because not only am I loving this job, but I also started personalizing my workspace. I brought in my T-Rex staple remover, my Chihuahua army and some pics of Matt to grace my desk. I need to bring some pics of Fizzgigg, too, to point to whenever anybody asks if I have kids. ;)
I wore my comfy Mary Janes today, and my blistered feet are grateful. I'm not so pleased with the rest of my outfit--the skirt I picked out last night looked a lot better in my memory than it does in the mirror. I can't wait till I start getting paid and I can start stocking up on work clothes that fit properly.
Speaking of fit, my weight is finally headed back in the right direction. It had gotten to an all-time (at least since 9th grade) low by the beginning of April, but between my birthday and Easter and various stress-induced comfort-food binges it shot back up by about 10 pounds. As of Saturday I was just a couple pounds shy of being back where I was before my birthday, and the smaller clothes I picked out on that day's shopping trip are fitting me again. Yay! Now if I can just lose about 8 more pounds I'll be ready to go get my wedding gown altered.
Now I'd better sign off and go call Matt and take care of some business with the temp agency before my lunch hour's up. Oh, and before I forget, I was wrong about the "no g-mail" rule. Or rather, I wasn't so much wrong about it as given the go-ahead to ignore it. So that's one more window to the outside world I can take advantage of. Again I say: Yay!

I'm glad you like it so far. It's funny how working with nice people can make a job so good, isn't it?
Have a good one!
It makes a huge difference. Not that people at the last two places weren't nice, but the overall vibe here is much more laid back and friendly. It's nice and (so far) stress free.
