Oops. I got so turned around between the flooding and the trip to Rhode Island.

YAY!!

Congrats.

I hope it goes well!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I hope so, too! The first day is always the worst.

No reason at all to be nervous. You rock.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Well, it's mostly nerves about stupid things: Where do I park? What do I bring for lunch? Will I get to sleep on time in order to get enough sleep? What should I wear? Will I like the person I'm shadowing tomorrow?

Stupid stuff.

parking and lunch

Bring something for lunch that you don't have to eat for lunch. Not something that will go bad. They may well take you out for lunch or something similar might be the protocol, so have a samich or something that is just as happy sitting in your back as getting eaten by smurfs.

As to parking, when you parked for your interview(s) did you see staff slots? Park wherever you did for the interviews and ask first thing... unless you want to call first and ask then. You think the shadowing will happen first day? wow.

My supervisor-person is gone this week, so she told me I would be shadowing this other person whom I've never met (she gave me her name). I think you're right about asking about parking when I get in - that's a good idea. And I was already going to bring a standard peanut butter sammidge that won't go bad.

Thanks for the tips, hunny!

I think my drugs are effecting my typing and word choice and proof reading skills... that post of mine was all messed up word wise. Impressed you comprehended it.

I am so skilled.

Yay for you! It's going to be awesome, and you are going to kick ass!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I love that userpic. And you, in case you for some reason had forgotten. :)

Thanks!

Congrats, hon! (You want me to pack you a lunch for your first day???)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

That's sweet, but I have to be there at 8:30am and, more importantly, I don't know what the "lunch room situation" is. (As in: is there a big enough refrigerator? is there a microwave? Oh, the things I worry about.)

You're sweet to offer, though.

YAYYYYY congrats!!!!

Yahooey!

I'm so incredibly happy for you. How happy you ask?
Let me tell you:
I got so happy reading your post, that I had to get up and dance, chanting a little 'Judabaga Rocks!' ditty, composed on the spot. And acting the fool like that, with no one to watch me, made me think of a really good quote from a book I read some years ago. I saved the quote just cause I loved it. It seems appropriate.

From 'Shelby' by Pete McCormack:

I sat on the floor of the woods as precious, tiny gasps of light peeked through her sheltering cover. Moss hung to bark which hung to trees whose roots plunged into the soil like a lover, and the rich ground offered the same in return. I stood up, danced for a moment, and then stopped. My heart told me the moment is eternally dancing, and all I need is the guts to cut in. So, feeling only slightly self-conscious, I danced some more.

You're so very sweet. Thank you, a thousand thank yous, for continuing, with me, to hold on even when it seems we have no time, circumstance, or impetus to.

I do so miss talking with you.

[cappucinogrrl.livejournal.com]

Blee. Today is my first day! In about an hour, I'm leaving :)

Maybe we'll both meet really awesome people at our jobs.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Here's to us!

[indigodove.livejournal.com]

Awesome!!! Good luck, and I'm sure you'll be wonderful!!!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much.

[swisscheesed.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! The fact that you got the job doesn't surprise me, no-sirree bob!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? What surprises me is that after a total drought of jobness, I take this job and then get two calls about interviews. Sheesh!
