some thoughts about my job

Had a pretty productive day. I went to the orientation as per planned this morning. Learned some things mainly about the paperwork, but nothing about the system I couldn't have figured out by myself given a day or two using it, all bragging aside. In all fairness, I was able to access the system this morning and navigate around it--and that was before I went to the orientation.

I'll be going back there tomorrow to submit the documents to make me their official contact for our company. Geez. The thought is both exhilarating and scary, sends shivers down my spine. It is a big account after all--it could easily make or break my budding career. God, I hope it's the former and not the latter.

My other appointment--supposedly this afternoon--was postponed. So I'm going there tomorrow instead. Which means I'll be out most of the day tomorrow.

This is precisely the reason why I wanted this job as much as I did back when I was applying. I won't be tied to a desk or post for the whole day--a fate I simply could not bring myself to face. I'm simply too restless and my attention span too short for a regular desk job or a job as a line operator--the typical job of those in my line of profession, most of my classmates included.

I know my own limitations and I found a job with that in mind--something I'm truly thankful for. This is by no means a dream job, but I'm glad I'm enjoying it so far. Thank God.
