Last night was my first night of work and I think it went pretty well. Oddly enough when I got in they were having a surprise party for a staff member who had been there 20 years. But it was nice to see they do little things like that.
My boss, Brian, introduced me quickly to everyone. I'm going to have to try listening around the office to remember all their names -- I'm usually good at remembering names but not when 20 are thrown at me all at once. Everyone seemed pretty nice and there are quite a few younger people on staff.
I spent most of the night being taught how things work by Brian. I think I'll catch on sort of quickly, but they use a ton of different folders and programs to get stories and layout the pages so it's more confusing than I anticipated. But, I'm sure I'll get used to it. I designed the business page last night -- so at least they are throwing me into doing actual pages.
There's also an intern on desk. She seems nice and is a junior at McDaniel. She doesn't immediately seem to be the kind of girl I'd be friends with, but you never know. There are also three Katies on desk - so that'll be interesting.
I'm excited to be able to learn all the programs so I can design pages on my own, and maybe design lots of different kinds of pages, too. It'll also be nice getting to know everyone better over the next couple of weeks.
Now I'm just waiting for the Comcast person to come set up my cable and Internet. Right now I am leeching off someone else's Internet, but it's not fast enough to watch last night's episode of "Glee"!! But the time the person is supposed to come is between noon and 3 p.m., which means I am just sitting here waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting. Where are you Comcast man!?
