New Career
Here I sit, at my very own desk at the front of the integrated marketing communications firm where I now work! I am the copywriter/receptionist. It's a small company. There are only 8 people in this office and three of them are partners! So lots of room for advancement. Not to mention GREAT experience. It's my first day and I've written some answers to FAQs for a website and now I'm bored. That's the great thing about starting a new job, the enthusiasm. I want to go back and say, "Gimme something else to do! I want to contribute!" but I don't know how that would be received. This is a totally new environment for me. I'm used to the restaurant industry where there is always something to do and you are infinitely praised for being the person who goes above and beyond the expectations. But here? The girl I replaced said there would be days with nothing to do along with the days with too much on your plate. I like having things to do, it makes the time go faster. I need a book. But I'm still ecstatic!
