HI!

Although that title may be ecstatic, I myself am so pooped because being new is tiring.

Work is really great and all the people I work with are amazing and I think I don't want to leave ever.

There will be drinks on Friday but I've got the book club so I can't go... but next time I definitely will!
Except I gave up alcohol for Lent so I'll have a cranberry juice.

I have great co-workers, so friendly and nice, and then there's Zumba class at lunch starting sometime soon and a coffee machine that makes lattes and mochas with freshly ground, roasted coffee beans in the lounge.

I work as the Administrator for the central registry - handling admissions of new accountants to the organization. I handle fees, queries, updating database info, sending out certificates if requested, chatting with the amazing team leader (boss), Heather. Oh and stuffing envelopes of course.

I've got my own email, accounts within the company and a voice mail already set up.

The first two days of work have been brilliant and tomorrow, I really start work. Yes, I've had to pick it up pretty quick.  These first two days have just been throwing me into the system, getting my feet wet in all areas that I'm responsible for.  I've had little to no supervision when I'm assigned a task because Heather thinks it's better to show me how to do it, then have me do a couple as an example, then let me do my own thing.  She's so busy all the time running around so it makes sense for me to take some of that workload off as soon as I can and it really seems to be working. I feel confident in my position and it's only been two days.

Tomorrow, I'm going to work a bit early to type up all my notes because it's kind of hectic right now and I need them all to remain confident in my position (haha).  I feel like when you go home and relax, coming back to work the next day there's this kind of bewilderment and the things you just learnt tend to slip your mind initially when you come back to work, so... it'll be good to have a reference to look to.

And I think the hardest part is trying to remember everyone's names.  There's at least 30 people who I should know the names of but I don't really yet.  I have to correspond with about half of them everyday so I should really get on that! Like the IT guy... I know as the IT guy.  And this other guy from Ireland has a name I can't remember for the life of me.  I don't think I've ever heard it said the same way twice yet.  Maybe it's all the accents.

Also today we had a fruit platter and breakfast sandwiches, which doesn't happen very often apparently, but it was nice nonetheless.

Also I walk to work and back everyday so far - 45 minutes at a fast pace each way, so I'm getting a bit of a workout.

Anyway, that's it for the post.

Love.
