New adventure begun

[owlmoose]

So I have survived my first day at my new workplace, excitement about the job intact and feeling only mildly overwhelmed.

I took the subway in, riding with T (this will not be typical, normally he goes in much later than I do). As I stepped out of the station and onto the escalator, I looked up and saw the school's main building, and then it occured to me: "Oh my god, this is really happening. Wow."

Spent the first hour or so filling out paperwork, of course, as one does at a new job. Then I went to my library, got the grand tour, met dozens of people whose names I will never remember (at least not for the first couple of months), spent a lot of time talking with my new boss (who is a bit intense and very dedicated to her job, but I think we're going to get along fairly well, which is good because we share an office -- eeee! I have an office! I've never had an office before!), poked around the library software and website, and just generally started getting acclimated to the place.

I feel like I should have a lot more to say, but my brain is full. Maybe after I've been there a few more days I can actually be more coherant. ;)

I am so glad things went well. You deserve an office! Next step - one of your very own! Sleep well and wake up eager to go to work. LOL

Congrats on the new job! Having just started one myself a week and a half ago, I know that full-brain feeling... there's so much to absorb all at once, and you want to seem like you totally know what you're doing so you have to concentrate on remembering everything.

And hooray for having an office! You can put up posters and stuff!
