New Job

Posted on June 2nd, 2008 at 9:15pm

Long story short:

I went for a job interview about a month ago and I found out two weeks ago, that I got the job.
I left my old place on the 23rd. I was all excited at first but then, as I was going to leave, I had a card handed to me, with loads of good luck messages from the people I worked with. I wasn't expecting it and it made me kind of sad to leave.

I started at the new place on the 27th. I'm an admin assistant and I'm enjoying myself. It's kinda tough because the only person I know is Myke's mum and I'm not very good at meeting new people. I seem to be getting along with all these new people quite well though.

So yeah. I really like my new job. I'm actually "the Database Lady" but, like the rest of the admin team, I need to use the telephone (hate, hate, HATE phones) and be break cover on reception. I'm working 20+ hours more than I used to, so I'm tired. Very tired. Which should explain this quick and disjointed entry!

(PS - I will be returning the comments everyone left on the last entry. It might have to wait until the weekend but I WILL do it.)

admin work can be tiring, especially the hours, i think my record was 38.5 hours.
hope it all goes well though, and i sympathise with the phones, some people shouldn't use them lol!

Congrats on the job! It's great that you like it, because that's the most important thing.

BTW, the 'show smilies' thing doesn't work for me.
