Full Time

Today is my first day at the office as a full time employee. One of my big worries about this shift has been that I'm going to be bored out of my mind. I don't really believe that one could file for an entire day, even if there was enough filing to be done that such a level of activity could be sustained. I'll be getting some new responsibilities, is what I hear, but that sort of thing takes forever around here, and I'll have to avoid going insane in the meantime.

So far, boredom hasn't been an issue, though. I spent the morning alternating between filing and setting up my new computer (ohgodthemonitorissosexy), with the added thrill of spending a little time under my desk unscrewing the much-hated keyboard tray. Which Robert said I should just throw away. Damn, but that felt good.

In future, however, I will not wear a nice skirt and boots to the office if I expect to be spending time under my desk. It's a bit awkward to make sure that everything stays decent and family-friendly when one is so dressed.

So what's the day been like for everyone else?

I've been holed up in my room (so that my roommate doesn't disturb me, not to just be hermity) drawing. I have lots to catch up on. I almost wish I had work today, as this is definitely going to get monotonous at some point before Shaun gets home, but then I think about the post-holiday rush and am very glad for my day off.

I'm still all sicky. :(

A new computer sounds fun though!

Full-time employee! Eep! Hope you didn't flash too many of your work-mates whilst under the desk.

I went and visited old ladies in my neighbourhood to day, so I have been fed like a foie gras goose. They all think I'm underweight (although I'm blatantly not) and so try to feed me up whenever I go to see them.

I've been killing myself this week trying to finish this database contract by Friday. I am about to take work home again right now...and I'm trying to hurry up about it so I get to spend at least 15 minutes with my kids tonight.

I didn't log onto lj all day since my post this morning, but I'll update on my saga tonight and look at your office pics. *is all excited*

Welcome to the world of full time working people!!!11!! :-)
