Everybody's Workin' for the Weekend!

Three days down, two to go. Officially over half-way through the week! Huzzah!

On the outside of it, I think my job sounds pretty boring. I pick up, sort, distribute, pack and send out the mail. I order office supplies. I photocopy. But the atmosphere I'm doing it in, the place I'm doing it in, and the things I'm photocopying (manuscripts!) make it all really interesting and even slightly exciting to me. That said, I do feel a faint death chill at this whole full-time, 9-5 thing. No doubt my parents are scoffing at me for being exposed to what they've dealt with for decades on end, but I got into creative writing to avoid that, dammit!

I'm still, however, madly enraptured with the prospect of an hour-long lunch break! An hour! AN HOUR!!! Although I usually order and eat my food in less than thirty minutes, get bored and, after dawdling slightly, tend to head back to the office (yes, I now have an "office" that I have to "head back to"!).

All in all, it's going well. I worked pretty much autonomously today, with little to no supervision/guidance, which was a big relief. Starting a new job is stressful simply because you literally don't know anything; you're constantly asking questions, you do everything with such doubt and you generally feel like a drain on the people around you. But today felt good, because I was pretty much on top of everything. Phweph!
