Well week one of my new job is over. So far its been pretty good. It’s been extremely busy to say the least. It’s been a 50+ hour workweek so far, which isn’t really too far by many standards, but when I tack on my commute, it’s been pretty long. I got home at 6 pm on Tuesday, and my boss let me go home about an hour early because I had a 12+ hour day the night before and on Friday he know I would be there a bit longer. It was a 10+ hour day today so I’m glad for the weekend. It’s been a bit crazy because my boss is going on vacation next week and so he wanted to try and get as much crammed into me as possible so I will have plenty to do next week.
I really like my boss, but he is an intense guy to say the least. He knows his business very well and cares a great deal about his company. He can go about a 100 mph so it’s hard to keep up. He expects a lot out of his employees, but no more than he puts in himself. I have a feeling I will get ripped up and down more than one time, but I will have to learn not to take it personally, because that’s how he is. I’m making him sound bad, but he’s not. He’s really nice, just very intense at times and can get easily wound up about stuff. It’s a relatively small company, but there are a lot of people I really don’t know yet. I really like all of the people I work with so far though.
It’s just going to take a little time for Anginae and I work out our new schedule. We are both a lot busier now what with both of our new jobs. It’s gonna take both of us a little while to adjust to my commute, I don’t mind the driving, it’s just dealing with how much time it takes. But I’m much happier where I am now and they are paying me pretty well to start off, so I know if I perform well, that will only get better.
BTW, I haven’t really heard a whole lot from anybody at my old job. My dad certainly hasn’t called me for anything. I’ve talked to my cousin a time or two and I think it will take a little time for things to settle into a routine there. After talking to her, I’m still baffled by how unprepared my dad seems about me not being there. I wish them all the best and think in time we will be better off not working together.
Glad your liking the new job and the people there. Being busy is not always a bad thing. It does help make your time at the job pass faster especially if your working 12+ hr days. Congrats on the new job!
Congratulations on new steps and new experiences. I am glad you like your new job and the challenges that come along with it. Here’s to your success.
