Feb. 6th, 2006 07:45 pmWell, if nothing else this job will give me the opportunity for quiet contemplation.
Sorry, I promise this journal won't go all whinebitchmoanjob, but whenever I start something new there's the requisite amount of navel-gazing involved. It'll fade.
It's not a difficult job. It's relatively pleasant in some respects, though I wish it were a desk job with a computer and internet and everything. I get about half an hour to check my mail while the front-desk aide gets lunch, but otherwise I'm elsewhere most of the day.
Most of what's left to do is setting up the computers that I and about 300 of my closest friends will be using to read exams on in a few weeks. The CPUs and monitors are in place; it's just a matter of going round and hooking up the keyboards, mice, ethernet, and power. like I said, not difficult or unpleasant; in fact, in some ways it's ideal (Jim and Kristi will laugh when they read this). It's basically me in a room full of computers with my headphones on for seven hours a day. I get two paid fifteen minute breaks but it's easier to just cash them in and go home early at the end of the day. Lunch isn't paid, but then since my lunch comes after everyone else's (because I fill for the front-desk aide) I just take fifteen minutes to eat a sandwich and then go back to work.
Lots of time for thought.
