First Day

This was my first day on the job in LeMars. It's a 20 minute drive. I have/had great expectations. But first I have a really lot to learn. How are bills handled? Reaquaint with Winnebago (not liking it) What programs are coming up? Board meeting next week, what do I need to do to get ready for that? I don't think anyone I sent an email to today got it. It's a whole different ball game with this system. I spent more than an hour having a computer discussion with their 'tech' guy. I worked on the website. Looked at policies. Talked to everybody. Ate lunch at my desk. Didn't have to field any salesmen or odd phone calls. There was a 'request for reconsideration' on my desk. Sheesh, not first thing! But luckily it had already been dealt with!
There will be plenty to keep me occupied for awhile. Plenty for me to learn. Plenty of people for me to meet. I'm sure I'll have more to share as I go along. I don't want to whine at all because I know that my momentary discomfort will soon be replaced with the comfort I've always known at the library.
