My new job
I'm feeling a bit blown away this evening.
I started the new job today, in what seems like a really great place to work; the bosses are friendly and involved with every member of staff, the package is fantastic, staff turnover is basically zero (2 people left the job in 10 years), and I'm already booked to go to the Christmas Party, which is a 1920's theme, with gambling and champagne and jazz - absolutely everything paid for, including my taxi. Very nice too.
It's full-time, which is the first time I've felt in a position to work full hours, but one drawback is that I'll have to stop shopping fresh each day, in favour of having to do a whole heap of shopping over the weekend. Not sure how I feel about that, but I'll see how I go.
The first day went well anyway, and I think I did enough 'getting it' to show I got it!
Not sure why I'm feeling abit strange, but I'm guessing it's because I'm feeling a little bit adrift.
Too much change at once I suppose; 0-60 in 0.3 seconds.

Hello Six,
I'm working for a company that produces graphic film (not movies with questionable content, but the film for the printing of labels and tags etc.)
See that little label inside your phone, on your camera, your car, the kids bike - we make the film for those kind of things.
I'm in the sales department, with what seem like a good bunch of people.
It's all very technical stuff so the learning procees is going to be long, but I'll get there.

You tell 'im! Span behave yourself!
But fantastic package eh?
(Sorry! Hangs head in shame!)
Sounds great and if you talk like you write sales will be a doddle for you! Just remember, close the sale!
(This is not a cue Span!)
Good luck.
Thank you Gav.
I'm looking forward to the time when all the technical stuff and processes have sunk in, and then I'll be fine.

Hey Lesley/Sleepy,
There is a great programme here called Office Monkey.
Basically, people are given a number of outrageous things to do at work (like offer people cups of tea through a mega-phone, and dress for the office like Marie-Antoinette and all sorts!) There is a prize for completing the tasks and it is a sure winner if you get sacked on the spot!
