I started my new job today
There are some things that I like and some that I don’t like.
Likes:
1. It’s a new enviroment and I’ll be learning a totally different system than I know now. That can only help me in the future.
2. It’s still an accounting position and again I’ll get another view of the accounting world.
3. It’s more money which always helps.
4. I can listen to headphones. At my old job I wasn’t allowed to do that. At least I’ll have some kind of entertainment.
Dislikes:
1. No onsite cafeteria. We have a “lunch/break room” but I would have to go to another building to buy food. This can turn into a like fairly quickly though because I should save a lot of money bringing food to work.
2. My badge doesn’t work. I have to knock on the door constantly to get someone to let me in. I also have to stop at security to be let back into the building. This will also turn into a like because my badge should work by tomorrow.
3. They don’t have any work for me right now. I’ll take over someone elses job eventually. You would think that they knew I was coming so work would be ready. This can go either way. Either I’ll like the job or not. I hope I like it, if not 6 months is a long time to be at a job that you don’t like.
4. It’s too quiet! I can hear myself typing quiet. Eerie. This is something that I will have to get used to. I’ve heard it was quiet downtown but I didn’t know it would be this quiet.
All in all not a bad impression on my first day. I haven’t even hit lunch yet. I’m sure the rest of the day will pick up.
