First day of school!... I mean, work!
I was so extremely excited to be going back to work today. Especially since they said they were buying us (the new people. There's two of us. The other one is also named 'Heather'.) lunch! They also sent me a schedule of my first day, which sort of reminded me of college.
When I got there, the 15th floor of The Tower on Lake Carolyn, I met the other Heather and the receptionist said she was going to show her to her office. Since other new Heather is going to be my manager, I was like.. wow, good for her. I wish I had an office. Then she turned to me and said, 'And now to show you to YOUR office.' I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE AN ACTUAL OFFICE! AHHHH! It's pretty big, too! There are two desks, a bookcase and a small table with two chairs!
And when I was swivveling around in my new chair, I realized that the plant on the table had a card stuck in it. I skootched over in the wheelie chair and grabbed the card. 'Welcome to PDI Ninth House, Heather!', the card said. NOOOO WAY. They also bought me flowers??? UNREAL! This place is fantastic!
Then we had to fill out a bunch of forms, and go to our orientations and stuff.
BUT THEN, after sitting in on a business phone call, I went back to my office and the receptionist put a box on my desk. "Here's your laptop!" Whaaaaaaaa? Granted, it's not really mine, and I'd have to turn it in if I left. But they gave me a laptop to do my work on that I can take home (asked permission and they said, 'Of course! Doreen even uses it as her home computer!' Daaaaaamn!
And then other cool things about this job/perks are that they have a Keurig type coffee machine in the break room, The building has a gym/showers/lockerroom that are accessible for free to building employees, PARKING GARAGE! My car isn't sitting out in the hot sun anymore!...did I mention I have an office? No window, granted, but I guess you've got to work your way up. :)
OH OH! And also! When I was thinking about the Welcome Newbies! Pizza party, I was like... Man, I hope they order 1 veggie pizza.. THEY HAD TWO! This job and me are on the same wavelength!
PS- Also got a canvas tote bag and a tshirt. I totally tooks pictures! Will post them later! Squee! :)
