So today was my first day at work at my mom's office. It's not exactly her office persay, but she works here and now so do I. It's all temporary of course, I'm not sure how long I'm actually supposed to be here for. Hoepefully, I can stay until I start work at Camp, which I keep getting mailings for. This reminds me to do some research on DEET so I can inform myself about it.
All and all, it's not bad working there. It's not the same as when I worked with the MoHLTC office last summer, there's not as much to do in the sense that I'm not doing any accounts payable things. It's all just mail, phone, couriers, messengers (which I guess could be the same thing) and some straglers that come in to see some of the dudes that work here. Most of the time it's pretty quiet. Everyone I've met is really nice and some people I already know from coming to visit her over the years.
I miss having a swipe/wave pass card to get into the areas though. This whole door code business is complicated. It's all high-tech. Everytime you start it randomizes the keypad numbers so it's always different. I couldn't work it for the longest time. I thought it was because I couldn't remember my number. But no. It's because I forgot to push the damn enter key. All the managers were watching me struggle to get back into the office after I locked the doors at closing time and they went: did you press enter? I turn to them and was like. Enter? OH YEAH! The right key button. That would explain it. *blush*
I am doomed before I even finish the week. How sad.
The crazy thing is that now I'm working during the day and still working when I get home. So I'm all tired and loopy right now. My brain hasn't functioned like this in awhile. It will take some getting used to. (Remind me to schedule work tomorrow at noon)
I suspect I'll be reduced to: "Tree pretty. Fire bad." pretty soon.
