(no subject)
Currently I'm sitting in my new cube looking out the giant glass front windows of my new office, smiling to myself that I am currently evading the oppressive heat and humidity outside. And hoping that I can stretch this moment out for a few hours as I have NOTHING TO DO RIGHT NOW.
This is the bitch of a new job.
You want to actually do work because you are excited, but are prevented in doing such because you don't know enough to do anything of any importance. Our foundation is putting on a Leadership Conference this weekend on the plaza, so yesterday I ended up making and putting together name placards and name tags for all the participants. Menial labor for the new girl... idle hands are the... something.
Everyday I get to do about an hour or two of ACTUAL work having to do with my position. This horrible transition/introductory period in which I spend my time learning about the foundation itself and fundraising practices is surely about over. Because they are paying me good money to sit here and email, myspace, and livejournal all day. Which in my old job I didn't mind since I hated it... but this... working in the non-profit sector... is what I want to do... so sitting around with my thumb inserted (pick your nether-region here) isn't exactly making me happy.
Anybody know where the crossword is?
