Whew. Survived first week of work.
Mar. 7th, 2014 07:54 pmThere were some changes at the company in the time between when I finished my internship and when I started my new job. Turns out that my title and job description have changed, but the important things (salary, benefits) have not. It is not a bad thing and I was vaguely aware that such changes might happen.
I am now officially "Coordinator Strategic Accounts" for my company. Basically I'm working with the division of the company that manages sales and business development. It's not a bad fit for me at all since I am very good at communication, writing and marketing. Plus I like the team I am working with. It's definitely busy and more than a bit chaotic though as this team is still in development. Three days in and I was already getting larger tasks that I expected my first week. Not a bad thing at all, but it did cause my anxiety levels to spike for a while yesterday.
I've already decorated some of my desk with little toys that I've gotten from friends (an eraser shaped like a brain, a wonderfully worry-stone shaped eraser with "Keep Calm and Carry On" printed on it, a small Gumby, and a Smurfette figurine in a witch costume stirring a cauldron). I'm going to go through my art and photos and take in some pieces to decorate my cubicle walls with.
Monday I need to call my lyme doc and talk about resuming treatment (I held off on increases this past month so that I was at my best before the bar exam). I meant to call today but didn't get to it. I'm doing my best not to feel guilty about that. In all honesty I'm still pretty pooped from taking the bar, my period, and surviving my first week at a new job. Plus I had a touch of sinus crud/cold that I think I am getting over. Anyway, I'm going to go take a shower and curl up to read a bit before bed. Much love to all.
