DISBELIEF

The first day was great! I felt much much better today, the foot is almost back to normal and so was I, which was good because I had to meet a lot of people today. Highlights included:

  • Taking a tour of the museum with inside info from my boss, with the promise of more tours with even more inside info to come
  • Getting our official photo ID badges
  • Finding out we get business cards, personalized stationery (!) and office supplies we get to select ourselves from an office supply catalog (!!!!!)
  • Finding out we get to take a tour of the official museum archives at the end of the month - WHAT?! I am SO going to steal something.
  • Finding out we get direct lines and cell phones
  • And of course, meeting my new coworkers!
The day went by very quickly and I didn't want to leave when it was time. We have a full week of introductory meetings and lunches and orientations. There is so much to learn, from building policies and emergency procedures to the process of how to do my job - it's a lot to take in. Luckily, I am a part of a great team.

Seriously? I can't believe this has finally happened. When my boss hopped up from the lunch table, the other new hires and I just kind of looked at each other, sighed and laughed. Finally, one of them said, "Is this as surreal for y'all as it is for me?" There was a unanimous yes.

So, in the words of Annie, I think I'm gonna like it here!

  3. So you get a landline and a cell phone? What are you going to do with Monica?

  4. Monica's not going anywhere. The cell phone is for on-site use only I think.

  6. You should just get them to pay for part of your monthly plan. Oh yeah, I would like Johnny Cash's guitar. Make it happen.
