So as I blurbed in my last post, the job is going well. I actually started taking calls last week, Tuesday afternoon I believe. I did make a couple mistakes that landed me in the manager's office... but nothing too bad. It's all a learning process, can't let anything get to me. As soon as you let stuff get to you is when it all goes downhill. And it's the kind of downhill that lands you in a lava pit, not t he kind of downhill you want when you go sledding. Mmmmm... sledding.
I've moved in with the people I'm going to be living with, I like them a lot actually. They're all technology people on top of being really nice. Also the two that I'll be staying with through the fall like to cook so perhaps I'll get into cooking like I've always wanted to. I just bought many bags of groceries for lunches including stuff for sandwiches, juices, applesauce, soda, and noodles. Should be better for me than my daily fast food or Wegman's lunch. As it is I think I've lost a few pounds, not because I eat fast food (obviously), but because I haven't really been eating too much in the way of a dinner. Or a breakfast. Hmmm... I should start.
But bed! I really should go. My laundry just got done. (I don't have to pay for laundry now, woohoo! ^_^) Also internet and Direct TV are included, so that's convenient as well. This is so much more manageable than the $800 I would have had to spend at an unfurnished place. I really like it here.
I would say I'll write more tomorrow... but I don't know if I'll get around to it. I might.
Well, time to finish laundering and go to bed!
What kind of camera did you get?
ReplyDeleteI see you are getting to bed earlier and earlier. Work will do that to you Ha ha
ReplyDeleteGlad you like your room mates and that you like your new apartment. That's always a good feeling.
Looks like you're giving the camera a workout. The pictures I've seen are great. Glad you enjoy using it.
As far as mistakes, remember the old saying, "The person who never makes mistakes, has never done anything!". Hang in there and you'll do just fine.
Have fun doing it.....
Well Damian, I just made several mistakes just trying to comment on your blog so I guess it's fine for you to make some when you're learning a new job. I think you're doing fine.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great outlook & you've always been willing to learn.
Glad you're enjoying the new camera,as usual, I was just along for the ride as Gr.P did all the deciding, no surprise to you there, I'm sure,lol
Love you,
Gr.M
Well, Damian, this is the 3rd time I'm trying to post a comment. Thank God you don't take after me or you would be on the carpet every day.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have decided to do some cooking & that you like your roomies.
Also glad to hear that you like the camera. As usual,your Gr.P did all the research & I was just along for the ride,lol.
Love,
Gr.M
Well Damian, Thank God you don't take after your grandmother as well! Geez....lol! All in good fun my son, all in good fun! How nice that you are finally experiencing grown up life as we know it. You might need to go back to being a Pokemon Master if you continue to make all these mistakes...ha! Just kidding!
ReplyDeleteGlad you did get the groceries, hope that you get up early enough to now make the breakfast and lunch you are talking about! Being a night owl, I hate the early morning getting it all ready. I do it the night before so I just grab from the fridge. Let me know how you make out with that.
Again I am so proud of you for landing a job, place, and everything else you have accomplished in such little time. It is amazing that you haven't had more mistakes and a meltdown for what you have done! Now you can just sit back and enjoy the ride as you have accomplished the 2 hardest hurdles! Good luck with the job and with managers like T-Pain and Tom you should be ok! Remember to document the tickets in a professional manner-no comments allowed! LOL! Hope to see you again at home soon!
Love you,
Mom
Haha, thanks everyone. Yeah, I do love the camera and I haven't made any kind of mistakes that would get me in any big trouble, so no worries there. Being a Pokemon Master though is still my one true dream of course. We'll see how that goes. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd Grandma, I see all 3 of your posts, too good! Did it just look like it wasn't adding comments? Haha, either way, I see it all!
And the camera is a Nikon D5000 with a 55-200mm Telescopic Lens! At least that's my favorite lens to use =)
ReplyDeleteYes, it did. Guess I'll never get the hang of the computer world.lol
