A new start - revisited

    Three days into my new job already. I hate starting new jobs and I'll usually stay at one longer than I should because of that. No job is perfect, at least in my experience, but I think I'm gonna like this one. I'm getting a really good feeling about this one. Hopefully I found a place to retire from, if I live that long. I already knew a few people that work there before I started and everyone that I have met since have been really cool. Maybe they're just being nice to me because I'm new. We'll see, lol. Alot of changes for me. There were about 25 employees at the last place and there are over 400 at the new place. It's gonna take me quite a while to find my way around without thinking about it, the place is huge. Oh yeah, and the type of machines I'm setting up, I haven't set up in years. I'm rusty as hell, hopefully it comes back quick. And the machines are smaller than what I'm used to and my magnifying glasses weren't enough, so today I started using big, clunky magnifiers, they helped. At least I'm not bored at work anymore. Thanks for listening, Kevin

  1. This is fantastic - was sooo hoping we'd get a mid-week update and here it is!! Oooh, still in that yukky settling in stage at the moment - but it will pass quickly!! I think your Blog is great for you to look back on your feelings in say 3 months time......Do you think we could have a photo of these big clunky glasses you wear? With you in them I mean. (he, he, he) (Glad you had a smile back at my place)

  3. Hey Kevin!!Rose has a great idea-a photo of you in those clunky magnifiers would be GREAT.. If you really want to impress your new employer don't take any breaks at all, instead wear Depends-they just love that kind of dedication,,no really..
