There are people on the net that
have nothing better to do with their time then be nasty to other
people online. They post rude comments, spend hours a day talking
about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a day
talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for
their opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone
to fit into their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw
a temper tantrum.
To these people I say
grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the
web is a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am,
or what I do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my
hair, or whatever asinine thing you dwell on,
go somewhere else. It's really, really easy. Honest. You just
click the little "x" in the corner of your browser and *poof* the
offending, big, mean and nasty site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine.
That means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like
it if I'm bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go
somewhere else. Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too
fucking bad, don't read them. Somewhere along the line, someone
forgot this simple fact: Live and let live
Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care. This
journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to
write and express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So
read or don't, it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours)
bitching about it.

First Day Today was my first day at the new job. Not much to report really so far as today was more paperwork/orientation/meet people/set up email/etc. kinda day then really doing any work. I spent about an hour sitting in with the lady who's going to be doing my training listening to her do about four calls. The hardest part will be learning their software which is old and kinda clunky but which is apparently going to be updated at some point. The actual questions are easy but I can see where it will get excessively repetitive.
It's a huge place. I got my security badge today and because there's multiple buildings and because you have to scan to get in OR out, it's weird walking around. There's a cafeteria that sells all sorts of food from breakfast in the morning to burgers, sandwiches and snacks during the day. I get two 15 minute breaks which I can combine into one 30 minute if I want which is what I'll probably do.
Everyone seems nice but definitely a little more..bland? Restrained? Conservative? I don't know exactly the adjective I'm looking for...then my last place. We were kind of a rough, rowdy but good-natured bunch at my last job with a lot more loose way of doing things. It's also weird being in a cube staring at a wall, my back to the row behind me and no natural light to speak of. Haven't done that in awhile. (Like a decade!)
I don't think it's a bad gig and I don't see that there's anything wrong with it, but it's certainly not going to be as fun or easy-going as my last job. I don't think I'll be as free to surf or do other things as I did before and I think the days will feel longer. (Today felt really long even though I didn't really do much.) I don't know if that extra hour makes it feel so long on it's own or if it's the difference in environment I'm not really used to which makes me feel more aware of my awkwardness but today was a long day.
It's too early though to make any real determination if I love it or hate it. Like I said, there's nothing overtly horrible or anything but it's very different and it will take some getting used to. Maybe once I settle in and find my place a bit it will feel more comfortable. I don't know.
For now, I'm back tomorrow on training schedule (9am-3pm) and then I have Wednesday off to rest and recoup. I'm exhausted today and my poor head's been hurting as the afternoon has progressed into evening but that could just be lack of sleep and change of routine. (Or of course it could just be hormones as this of all weeks is also cycle and that blows for trying to start a new job!)
Anyway, weird day today. Let's see how tomorrow goes!
