Work Update

Well, I've been in my new position for a little over a month now, and yes, I still love it. The first full paycheck will come next week, then I'll REALLY love it! The only part that is strange, not great, is that I don't see everyone anymore. At the front desk I saw pretty much everyone every day. Some said hi, some waved, some stopped for serious discussionor just gossip, some just walked by, but I saw them all. Now, I can go in, go straight to my desk, and unless I bump into someone in the bathroom or at the candy or copy machine, I might only see 5 people all day. And I had plenty of mindless work to do, so I could chat with whoever happened to stop by, and still work while I chatted. I guess I'm not getting my quota of chatting in these days. But I don't have to chat with people I don't really want to chat with, either. I mentioned this to one bathroom-bump-into-buddy, and she likened my old position to a bartender. I think that's about right. I got to listen to everyone's complaints whether I wanted to or not, it was just part of my job. Now, I'm the chef, behind the scenes.
