I can has job.
Gah. Work.
I spent two hours typing information into a computer, and then the computer decided to delete all of it even though I hit the save button every six seconds.
The rest of the day was occupied by:
1.) Waiting for a laptop to arrive so I could start (3 hours)
2.) Tour of the building (30min)
3.) Lunch (1 hour)
4.) Putting papers in alphabetical order (15min)
5.) Sitting around in my very own cubicle, staring at papers. (15min)
The database might be working tomorrow, in which case I'll have something to do. Otherwise, I am to come in "so that we can pay you"
Did I mention I love my boss? I am calling her SuperBoss. Though not because of that. It is because...
SuperBoss: Random office person? Are you supersupersupersupersuper busy?
Count them. Five Supers. And this isn't just something she did once. It's a habit. She seems to use "super" the way most people use "um." It's kind of awesome.
Everyone is very friendly, but it's kind of strange; 95% of the office is female, 100% under 50 years old, and at least 80% is African-American. I've seen two guys and various white people wander through, but the white people may be guests of office people. I haven't seen any old people at all.
They must have the most aggressive affirmative action program in the world.
Oh- something I didn't realize? Offices = free coffee. It isn't great coffee, but hey! Free stuff! I like work.
The biggest downside? 1.5 hour commute each way. 1 hour total walking per day.
But still, totally worth it.
