I'm sure you are all just dying to hear about my new job.

Posted by kelly (aka kelly) Jul 29 '10, 16:07

I've been here for 3 days now, but my 30 day review was already set up for the end of August. My supervisor came over to ask me if I had seen the email notification (I had already accepted it, but whatever) and I mentioned to her that I really was trying to do my work/learn as quickly as possible.

her: Well, if there are any issues, you will hear about them LONG before the reviews. We don't wait to tell you that kind of stuff. We'll let you know if there is a problem right away.

me: I'm really hoping I am doing well here...I'm nervous that I'm not picking up quick enough.

her: Well, Frankie (my teammate/trainer) is going to start training you on [something new] starting next week.

me: Is that a normal progression?

her: Umm, that's *very* quick. Trust me, we have NO problems with you right now. You are doing VERY well.

(yay.)

Even though there are a ton of perks to this job - no phone on the desk and no net access is KILLING me. It's probably a good thing, production wise, but yikes, I'm not used to that! (There are 15 or so allowed web sites, and they are all medical/hospital sites.)

    - So did my uncle near San Fran - I think we're going to wind up with a photog more concerned with perfection than anyone we could pay. - kelly Jul 29, 16:26 2

tour supervisor sounds like a pompous ass -- nm - CQ Jul 29, 16:14
I was wondering - glad you like it so far - they seem to like you! -- nm - Epiphany Jul 29, 16:13 3
- It's still in the weird "new person" stage - I really only know 2 people by name - my supervisor and my trainer. - kelly Jul 29, 16:18 2
  - You are a very nice person - people will start to get to know you and it will grow more comfortable - Epiphany Jul 29, 16:21 1
    - Oh yeah, but I am also super bitchy at times, too. - kelly Jul 29, 16:24

No need to steal creamer from the break room, hooray! (nm) - musubi Jul 29, 16:10 2
- I did receive an email yesterday that all the creamer delivered yesterday was out of code, so I don't think I'll be pocketing any any time soon. :p -- nm - kelly Jul 29, 16:11 1
  - It might just be a trick to keep you from stealing it. Be wary of their tricks. (nm) - musubi Jul 29, 16:12
