update, of a sort
Job is going well. And...I should be going to full time next week, as long as the regional office doesn't interfere. LOL
So, that is good news, especially since once I'm officially full time it's 90 days and then insurance and 401K are available to sign up for, and also start accruing vacation days. Wheee!
The only downside is that it's a graveyard shift. BUT - don't think it's going to be as bad as I thought. It's all graveyard, so that will give my body a chance to adjust, rather than bouncing between days, swing, and graveyard like it would be if I didn't take it.
Working by myself doesn't bother me and the building is secure so it's not all 'eeek! scary!' or anything.
My supervisor has also told me a few times that I'm doing a really good job, which is always nice to hear. Though figured I must be when my first graveyard shift was scheduled the other day. heh
He also told me yesterday that he's had people from the client mention me, which is also really cool to hear.
It's also good for the self-esteem. *g*
One of the things I'm most excited for with this job is the client has a gym on site for their workers - and it's available to us as well. Sweeeeeet!
I worked out Thursday morning, though because I'm needing to learn the equipment and all, it was a little slow and therefore not as taxing, but that'll get better. Yesterday morning I just did cardio on the bike thing and boy, that was a hard workout. Decided to do 40 minutes, which at about 12 minutes in I thought that maybe that was a little to long. LOL. But, decided that I needed to try and finish, that could probably do more than I thought I could.
Kind of cheated though and told myself to at least get to 30, but when that was reached decided it was only 10 more minutes and got it done. Exhausted afterwards, but felt pretty damn good that I did accomplish that.
Thank you The Biggest Loser (as well as Jillian and Bob) for inspiring me, and pushing me.
And another yay for getting to use this gym instead of having to go someplace and pay and all that.
