First day of work..

Well, the job itself is exactly what I figured it would be. Should take about a week to learn and get the hang of. Its very similiar to what I did for Daticon and I enjoyed that quite a bit.

The only problem is the set-up. I'm working downtown in the courthouse. Inside the records room there are about 7-8 computers for public access. There is also about 15-20 people needing on those computers during the day it seems. Now, my employer threw in 3 more people that want to sit there for hours at a time, and there are signs posted to please not sit longer than 20 minutes if someone needs the computer. I'm not really sure how this will work. I'm not the sort of person that can sit there and be rude all day, but honestly how can you get up and off the computer every 20 minutes and expect to get any real work accomplished? I hate being rude and I don't like upset people. Yesterday we sat there for 3 hours on two of the computers and got alot of people pissed off.

So, I love the job, I hate the circumstances. If I had a dedicated computer that I could sit at for hours, I'd have no issues at all. Taking the bus doesn't even bother me (well I haven't stood in the rain yet) but honestly it'll be so easy its not funny. I just don't know how it'll all pan out. I'm gonna give it more time of course, it was just the first day, but I decided to not stop looking. Put a few more applications out there and watching the newspaper again. Oh well.

Oh.. and I shed another 2 pounds almost overnight, rawr! 38 pounds to go people. 8 more pounds and I've lost 100 pounds total. I feel like an entirely new person these days.
