My First Day

I feel really bad for not posting at all yesterday because I'm sure some of you were curious to see what I would have to say. I meant to post when I got home last night but around 4 yesterday afternoon, I began to get a horrendous headache, and it didn't subside until about 8:30 last night. Needless to say, I didn't think I could spend another minute staring at the computer or doing anything productive except lay in bed and watch TV. :)

So I decided since I really don't have all that much to do anyways yet since I'm still in "training" that I would blog this morning about yesterday and give you all an update! Right now, I'm sitting in my new office typing on my new computer with flat screen monitor. I have a real desk, not one that falls apart at the drop of a hat. I have a door that shuts and no one else that has to share it with me (and soon there will be a name plate on that door as well). I have several bookshelves which I'm sure will be full sooner than I want them to be and empty walls which I'm still trying to decide what I should do with. I might request a bulletin board since I'm used to having cube walls with which to stick things in and it's nice to keep things handy that way. I am horrible with measurements but if I had to guess I would say it is somewhere around 8' x 7' or something like that. I have a guest chair too. This is my "temporary" office until July or so when the other girl that is in my office now leaves to go to law school, and they shift the IP department to the new floor they are taking over soon. But I'm super happy with it and the fun part is that it's across from a conference room so when my door is open and the curtains are open in there, I have a view of the outside world! ;)

Let's see what else: got here around 9 yesterday and got to leave by 4:45 since there wasn't much for me to do....they said I should get to leave early almost every day this week since I'm training which is fine by me (especially yesterday when I had the worst sinus headache in the world!). I filled out a bunch of paperwork yesterday and need to look over the insurance materials and such today to finish filling that out and give back to the HR lady. Parked in the parking garage this morning and that was nice. Other than that, everyone was really nice here - they took me to lunch at Pappadeaux (sp?) yesterday which was yummy - and I'm just looking forward to next week when the senior paralegal that I will be working with primarily is back and can give me more direction! And the fun thing is that I found out I have Good Friday off which is awesome! And since we are taking off Friday April 1 & Monday April 4 for our California trip, I will get to work 3 short weeks in a row (4 days a week!). Good stuff! :)

I'm sure I will blog again later if I think of anything since I pretty much will be wasting time most of the day! Hope you all had a great Monday & continue to have a great week - our beautiful weather has disappeared and now it's cold & rainy for a few days. At least it's supposed to get better for the weekend which is a change from the past when it was nice during the week and crappy on the weekends. We are going to see Maroon 5 on Saturday night, so I'm excited about that. And Austin surprised me yesterday for my first day of my new job with tickets to see Cirque Dreams at Bass Hall on Easter weekend. So that's fun since I've never been to Bass Hall before. Okay enough blabbing, talk to you soon!
