First Day
Today was (is) my first day of work. I'm still here, taking care of various small tasks.
Thoughts so far:
I have a desk in the tax collector's office, which is a big room staffed by 3 ladies who are generally friendly and pleasant. I also have a window - hoorah!
My supervisor works across the hall. When I came in today he had on plaid, black jeans, and black Chucks. He's a few years from retirement, but he is awesome and very laid-back. We talked about bikes some, and live music, and kitchen knife accidents (I have a huge honking bandage on my finger from the huge honking cut I gave myself last night while chopping onions with my new verysharp knife).
Still don't know exactly what I'm doing. Hope that will be solved after this focused hazards workshop that's happening in Burns this week.
I need to get over my dislike of eating at restaurants by myself because if I want to try out the several different greasy spoons downtown, I'll have to do it on my own, most of the ladies bring their lunches (as will I, most of the time, but I've heard good things about the pie at the Starlite Cafe!).
Going to Boise to see Califone next week for all of $5.
Going to Portland next week for a work training with Katie, including a stop-over in Bend. Good thing I like driving. (too much driving!)
Things are good so far.
