Just Random Ramblings

I am slowly getting settled into my new work environment. The last two days I have only had orientation. From what I understand much of tomorrow will be dedicated to department orientation. That should be fun! And get this, I have to be at work at 645 AM!!!! I know I am gonna need some coffee tomorrow morning! I can't believe that. And I thought being there at 745 and 8 AM the last two days was bad! The good thing is that I will get off from work about 315, so I'll have the rest of the afternoon to do whatever. And from looking at the schedule I have to work second shift Thursday and Friday. I kind of thought I might remain on first all week and start second next week. I thought wrong! But that isn't the first time is it?

I am very excited about actually getting into my department tomorrow. I know I will be nervous about it. There is a lot of responsibility to the job because I will have to monitor a lot of different things that are critical to the running of the place. And from what I found out today our department is still short one person. And that position is on night shift, or at least that is the way I understood it. I think I would rather work night shift versus the second shift anyway. So I will have to wait and see what happens. Another question got answered for me today too. I get days off during the week generally when I have to work on the weekend. So I don't really have a set schedule. Like I am off this weekend, but next week I am off like Thursday and Friday and then the next week I am off like Sunday and Wednesday or something. So I only work 40 hours per week. There will be some opportunity for overtime too I am sure. Of course the OT will be nice :-) The main thing right now is that I am keeping a good attitude about working there. I am hoping that is a job that I absolutely love, as I have been looking for one of those :-)

The one thing I got today which I wasn't exactly happy about is my badge! I had the worst expression on my face. Oh well, too late to change it now. I will just have to live with it for now. I don't think I can talk them into taking another picture for me. Although I might ask! I am not expecting a retake tho!

Well I need to get off of here and go decide what is for supper. I am hungry dammit! And yes I know I could afford to miss a meal or two!

How many of you have pets that sleep with you? Most of you who really know me, know that I have two dogs who sleep with me, Daisy and Amber. I had something funny happen this morning about 3AM. I woke up because Daisy was snoring so damn loud! I woke up looked over and there she was laying on her back with her feet in the air snoring very loudly. I had to wake her just so I could go back to sleep!

Well today I start my second shift schedule. This is kind of weird after having to get up at the crack of dawn (or before) to be at work each day so far this week. So I welcomed being able to sleep until 8:40 this morning. Now I will probably be very tired by the time I get home tonight. I don't get off work until 11:15 tonight. But I do actually start more training today. I have not did much over the last couple of days. The good new is that I am off this weekend. It will be my last whole weekend off for the next month tho. I might have a Saturday or a Sunday off over the next month, but not together. Although I do have a Friday and Saturday off back to back in a couple weeks, so that is nice. I'll have to write more when I have more say!
