Waiting

It is Thursday of the first week of my new job. I still don't know what I'll be doing at work. What a place! First of all, it is massive. My legs are aching and my knees are killing me from walking and going up and down (too) many steps. I am worn out before I get into my building, because I have to park so far away. Think I might be a bit out of shape? You would think correctly. I am pissed at myself for being so fat and out of shape, it is making everything with this job twice as hard as it needs to be.

I have been in new employee orientation all week with 10 other people. We have watched many videos, filled out much paperwork, taken a few tours, but mostly we have just sat around and waited. We did absolutely nothing today. We sat in an air-conditioned room for 8 hours, reading the paper, watching MSNBC (they repeat the same stories all day) and waited for our job assignments. The assignments never came.

I am anxious to know what my job is going to be like. All I know at this point is which building I'm working in.

To be continued when I have more information..........

That sounds like my kind of job, actually. I would love to sit around and watch television...

But, then...I suppose the time just drags, huh?

I hope it gets better!
