Sherpa's Wonderin's

Awards Guru

I've been working at the new job for 9 days now and the change has been drastic even though I only moved one floor down (i'm still in the same corridor) My random observations:

a) being required to answer questions about inane govt policy is difficult if you don't know anything

b) I still answer the phones "Good Morning (afternoon) department of Interior, Office of Communications, this is Joy"

c) I still get crazy callers. I was asked today the policy about overtime for mechanics at Jiffy Lube

d) if I don't recycle, I get lectured about throwing away newspapers and am threatened that I won't get my trash picked up ever again. I didn't know recycling was mandatory.

e) having a cubicle is kind of liberating.

f) having a cublicle is lonely.

g) being an awards coordinator is a big job.

h) i get to go to a teleconference seminar in Crystal City in September.

i) i was told today that everyone on the hall is asking who is that little girl and isn't she in highschool? Seriously.

j) every other friday off!

All in all, there's a big learning curve but life is good. The job is good.
