First Week of Work

I just finished my first week of work! It was only a 3 day week for me which was very nice. My first day consisted of a lot of orientations. Two other girls started their first day when I did so we went through all of our meetings together. One of the cool things my work does is makes each new administrative employee have a "buddy". The buddy is just someone specifically meant to check in on you and make sure things are going okay. It is someone to go to if you have any questions or concerns. It is honestly very nice to know that I have someone who will help me with no hesitation (even though no one would have a problem pitching in). For lunch on my first day, me and the other 2 girls were taken out by our buddies to this great place downtown, Dragonfish. It was so nice to be "taken care of" at work. I felt very appreciated already in my first day!

On Thursday (second day) I was able to get a bit more settled into my "cube". I actually am in a big 4 person cube instead of just a singular cube. At first I didn't know how I felt about it but now I feel blessed to be with 3 other people. I think I would feel secluded if I was in my own. I am able to ask questions, talk and make new friends and relationships WAY easier in the 4 person cubical. The main activity I did on Thursday was file, file, file, file, file, send mail, file, file, file, file. Oh man! So much filing!!!!! It is a great way to become familiar with the firm and the companies we work with. I really feel like a professional now, I have my own computer! My own e-mail! My own business phone! I know it seems silly but I LOVE IT!

Friday, the sun came out and I was pumped!! My building is right downtown in Pioneer Square and we have some of the best views in the city. I tried to get a few pictures of Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helens and was somewhat successful but only had my iPhone. I just tried to upload them but they were tiny! Next week, I'll bring my camera and get some good ones! Anyway, for lunch Luke met me downtown before he went to work (very convenient) and we ate at Typhoon! It was so nice to walk around downtown and eat some super yummy food. As for what I did Friday...file, file, file, send mail, file, file. Very much the same!! I did have a meeting to learn how to work on financial statements. So hopefully this next week, I will be able to take on more responsibilities.

All and all, I am really enjoying my new job, hopefully my new career. The company I am working for is a great company and I feel super blessed to have this opportunity.
