Today was my official first day back to work, in almost 2 years.
While I am in New Zealand, I had to get a job to pay for rent. Jessica was kind enough to help me get a couple part time jobs here in Wellington.
So I woke up this morning, feel I'd say more nervous then normal. I decied to keep it relaxed, and get ready slowly. bad idea. I ended up getting sucked into facebook, and a wee chat with my old time friend Gabrielle. While not only was I running out of time, I was still facebook chatting, and my labtop was dieing. So I had to bring my lab-top and charger along with me to each room in the house. I was cooking breakfast while typing, and then eating the lounge while typing, then getting dressed while typing. It was a full on experience.
As I was typing and trying to get dressed, it was one of those moment when you realize maybe none of you clothes actually look good for what you need to do. I keep changing pants and shoes. eventually i typed to Gabrielle that i had no clue what to where. Her advice " You look beautiful, just be confident in what your wearing!". So I thought " YES I CAN DO THIS...!" I continued to try and tell myself it, and realized I couldn't actually say it tell I put on a danglely necklace. I now know, when all else fails put on a danglely necklace and be confident about your outfit! I was wearing plaid, so I choose to sport the pony tail. A pony tail always works with plaid.
So I finish my last few words with my friend, ( forget to sign off facebook) then go running out the door. I brought an apple with me cause i didn't know what sort of things I would be doing at work, but I knew i would want food. I walked half way there, and rode the cable car up the hill, and headed into work.
I am currently leaving my job secretive for the fact that I don't know who reads this. but if you know me, you know where I am working. ha. hope that doesn't ruin the story.
But I walk into the office and knock on my managers door, and soon come to find out she is out of the office, and "alex" the guy who is suppose to be giving me a tour, is out sick. So I get thrown into work mood and stay training right away. I loved it. I first had to alphabetize, which I didn't tell them I am not one to be quick with my A,B,C's. I seriously had to count through the A,B,C'w while doing it. Then I had to do filing, and numbering and saving documents on a computer. The people I have met so far are amazing. The the people in the office are outgoing, and really easy to chat with.
There are what they call "Filing Farie's" that is what I am, and then they have " Filing Warriors" which are guy versions. The only warrior I met today was named, umm actually I can't remember. He was ridiculously good at his job. He knew everything, and I didn't hesitate to ask him lots of questions. So really our jobs are to assist the other people in the office with work they can't be bothered with. I like those sort of jobs. Makes me feel like I am the back round. The back round is always what makes the whole room look complete. It there wasn't good paint on the walls they would be just plain white. So us keeping the office up to parr, makes them look good as well.
I got off early, and walked unto the cable car to go back down. On the way I met a friendly lady named Yevette. She is from Malaysia. She began to talk about Navagators, and people that were missionaries. I got to excited, and I asked her more about it. I ended up getting some peoples information on christian organizations here in Wellington. That was so encouraging. She said afterward, that she was going to walk down the hill today, but deiced to take the cable car instead. I told her God wanted her to talk with me...: )
I then walked from my work, to Jessica and chatted about our days. Then trotted on home, and relaxed. I love work day # 1.
I forgot on the way to work I found $4 on the ground!!! So God, and so good!
