First Day

Well, my parents told me I'd be bored, and I was... It was just orientation so I filled out a bunch of paperwork and took even more home. Not going to start on it now though.
I got back early, around 3:30. I wasn't able to find out what time I was supposed to show up tomorrow though... so HR gave me a 'general idea'. Ugh. Well I think it was eight thirty, so I'll get there at eight fifteen. But seriously, who wants to be late on the first day? Anyway, I need to pick a good outfit and make sure I have everything I need. So many things to remember! we were innundated with information. I tried to tune into the things I thought were important.
Something I did learn though: I don't get holidays off. I have to use my PTO for them, which really sucks. I also have to use PTO for sickdays, and only after I have used all my vacation do I get to use medical leave or other benefits.
Apparently that's how Dad's works and a lot of other people's, too. Time off does not, however, expire at the end of the year but carries over so you could end up stockpiling a bunch of days.
Ah, whatever. not worth thinking about now, I can't use any days for a good while anyway.
But, of course my weekends are still free (yay!) as well as evenings, which is pretty awesome. I feel positive about work tomorrow and am not that worried at this point, esp. since things calmed down significantly for me after I got some sleep last night. Bring it on!
