Today...
so i got slammed by a nasty bill today. apparently cold weather makes electricity go up. (well duh, but in the past it hasn't spiked quite that much.) sometimes grown up responsibilities suck.
BUT on the flip side, i helped out my supervisor some today and she mentioned something about me already being on the path to the top tier. even if she can be a harsh critic, i have to give her big kudos for noticing when you go above and beyond to save her ass. and i helped train a new kid. that was also supposed to be her job, but i picked up the slack. we're short staffed this week already, and training somebody new was adding to the stress in the building. so i stepped up. i've always been pretty good at training new people and including all those things you need to know but are so basic that you feel stupid for asking about. like where the pens are. you need access to the free pen stash, but don't know where to get them.
i guess the new kid appreciated my help. i am waiting to form an opinion yet. the first day is always overwhelming, so acting distant and bored and frustrated and unsure of yourself is somewhat to be expected. but if NK continues to seem semi-grateful and semi-shut-the-hell-up, then i'll just shut up and say to weather the storm alone. it was a bitch to be the complete new girl, on my own, with nobody having time to mentor me. i had to hit the ground running and hope to goodness that i didn't fuck up too much. thank goodness i didn't, and am now trusted to train new hires. i think that says something good.
ok, i gotta run. later!
