Just Like Riding A Bike

My first day of work was Monday.  Terrified, I went into work trying and failing to remember how to take a simple call.  "How do I do a call in again?  What's the number for the Labor Service Center?"  I thought to myself as I walked through the tunnel.

I got to work 45 minutes early, too.  Most people were telling me it was just like riding a bike, but my response to that was, "No.  Riding a bike involves pedaling and steering and that's it.  This job involves about twelve hundred different tasks all being juggled in mid air at the same time and you don't necessarily get immediate feedback if you do something wrong."  But all was well!  Thankfully after less than an hour I had recalled most of what I had to do.  It came back.  This job is a lot easier than I remembered it.

It took a while for me to regain access to all the programs I needed access to.  But now, at the end of the week I have worked nearly 50 hours and I still have another shift today!  Originally I only worked Wed-Sat, but I picked up a shift Monday and during that they asked me to come in Tuesday.  Then they wanted me to come in early Wednesday and Friday.  Ba-BAM!  Hours!

Also, it should be noted.  I really love my job!
