Funny what reading instructions can do

After my last post, I decided to look at the instructions on this web site for creating links. When I followed them, gosh - it worked!

Thanks Caitlyn for providing your instructions as well. I appreciate your willingness to help.

I survived my first week on the job. Again, following instructions has proved valuable. I stayed out of trouble by trying to listen closely to the instructors, both what they said, and what they implied by what wasn't said. Learning the culture of a new company can be tricky.

Even though I'm missing the naps to which I'd grown very accustomed, I didn't fall asleep in class once. I get a little drowsy after lunch, but so far my head hasn't hit the desk...LOL. Lunch is another story. I've really got to take my lunch, instead of running out to Del Taco, which the only place close enough to get there, eat and get back on time. And being on time is critical on this job. So I'll be grocery shopping this weekend to find things that are doable for packing a lunch. Most likely, it will be frozen things that I can pop in the microwave.

Start of something new

Today, I once again found myself on the 60 freeway, heading for the 57 to get to work. It was deja vue. But it felt good. After 23 months of unemployment, I'm really excited to get back on a payroll.

The drive itself was great. Moderately heavy traffic (it was a federal holiday, after all) and it was one of those sunny California mornings that look so pretty. Even the sun glaring off my dirty car windows didn't bother me much.

I won't be blogging about the job - that seems to be a bad thing these days, and I don't want to do anything that would jeapordize my staying with this company.

It will be interesting to see how my computer time at home works out. Definitely a big decrease in my Pogo time. But I'm hoping to keep up with the news and my favorite web sites. One of these days I'll figure out how to put my favorite links on my blog page. Actually, with less computer time than ever, it might be a long while...

Anyway, it nice to be started on something new and different. Here's hoping it turns out to be as good a thing as I think it is.
