I start my new job today at the United Way. I will be the receptionist. I think it will be fun. The only bad part will be driving too and from work in rush hour traffic UGGGGG.

I am a little nervous that they will ask me to do something I've learned and then I'll forget how to do it so in my mind all night I've been practicing setting tabs and margins using the ruler so I can do it quickly. Yes I know I'm wierd I think about things like that.

I am also a little nervous about having to be there for 8 hours. The last time I did a job where I worked that long was about 3 years ago. I am hoping I'm not to tired when I get home.

Thanks snowflake. The only thing I'm really worried about today is falling asleep at my desk. For some reason my brain around 1:30 this morning said hey Jan wake up and I've been awake ever since. I'm gonna stop off at the store and get a couple bottles of Mountain Dew that should help.

I hope your first day was awesome. If you can, give yourself a little time to settle in and get used to things. I am sure they will.

Well work went well today. I think I surprised my boss by being computer literate. He was trying to tell me how to cut and paste files and rename them and I was just going to town on my own. That is what I did all day. They are trying to go to a paperless office so they spent the day scanning grant applications and budget stuff into the computer and I would put them in their correct file and rename them. I imagine this will be my job for awhile. I did pretty good not falling asleep...the phone rang way too much to fall asleep LOL. I only had to make a few notes on how to transfer a call to someones voice mail etc.

I think this is going to be good and I hope it turns into a paying job after my internship is over.

Yay! I'm really glad that your first day went well. Sounds like you did great. Today was my first day on at my job too, and i'm really tired.
