First Day of School!

There's a stuffed Nemo toy we sell who, when you squeeze his fin, says "First day of school!  First day of school!  I really LOVE the first day of school!"

That's how I felt this morning getting ready.  Except I'm not in school.  And I'm not four years old.  And I'm not a clownfish.

That said, my job rocks!  It's all I thought it was and more, which is super awesome.  We met this morning and walked to the tunnels because they wanted to make sure we all knew how to get around.  Then they stuck us in a room and showed us Powerpoints for three hours.

Well it wasn't quite that boring.  I introduced myself like five times in three different ways including when they forced me to draw pictures of my life.  I stuck at drawing, but at least it made people laugh as I tried to explain them. Then we filled out a survey online and had to email it out to people.

They also made me fill out that thing that determines what learning style you are.  I'm not even kidding, the last three times I filled out one of those I got one each of the tactile, auditory and visual.  Today was visual.  Silly tests.  I wrote on the other survey I filled out that I tend to learn when I'm sincerely interested in what I'm learning about.  If I'm interested, I guarantee I'll learn no matter which style you use.

Then we got to shadow for a while.  Each "computer" has two monitors.  TWO!  I got stressed out at home with my mom's computer that has two monitors.  It just throws me off.  And every time I'd drag the mouse up to the top right corner to close a window it would slide to the next screen and click on something.  That'll take some getting used to. Did I mention this will take six weeks of training?  Six weeks.  Cuh-razy!  Safaris was seven days.

But I'm totally excited and love my job.  And that's the point of this post.  To let everyone know that.  I love my life!
