Last Chance Jubber
I had my first day at my new job yesterday. After about 1/2 an hour of completing paperwork and being shown around I was directed to the stack of ad slips and sent to work. Eight hours later I stumbled home, my head blurred by hours at the computer.
It was good, though. The job is easy, but varied enough to stay interesting and there are actual moments when I can be creative. I even have my own desk... I know not a huge deal, but at my last newspaper job I had to share one and it drove me crazy. Everyone was very helpful with answering my questions.
I know one other person in my department from outside of work, as well as a few of the reporters upstairs and a friend of mine who works at the front desk. One reporter even worked with me at another paper. I also know one of the proofreaders. So it's not just new people which is good for a shy boy like myself. It makes it less stressful.
Anyway, just wanted to update.
Thanks all for your support when I was stressing out.
