First off, I have to say; welcome to the new layout. I like it.

Secondly, I love my job.

Yes, yes I do. I had my third day today in the office and it’s pretty cool. C and I are getting along well, and he is teaching me many things (about finance and trying to get me in on ‘the Secret’)! The current project I’m working on at the moment is fairly boring, but important in establishing the client base for the company. It’s a challenge, but a relaxing one, sort of like a crossword puzzle if you will.

I’ve kinda added a few bits and pieces in the office, I took along my iPod stereo (a good one, mind you, not a cheap <$50 one) and left it there along with some snacks and things. It’s pretty cool. The dress so far has been relaxed casual, but I’ve made an effort to look presentable even if I don’t have to meet any clients for now. I actually went out shopping the week before and bought plenty of casual button up blouses which I could wear both to the office and around town, so it’s cool.

After this project is done (I’m about half way), I’ll get to focus more on the admin and personal assistant side of things, which I’ve come to learn is a very broad job description. Just today I was googling for various wine plans for C to join so he could gift them. I’ll even get to go out and meet clients with C! Top stuff, will have to dress up and look extra pretty too. Actually, today aside from my usual data entry, I was also on the phone to the tech because our software package was creating a headache for C and I (though, mostly for C). I’ve been on the phone a few times to him, and our problem doesn’t seem to be one which can be solved permanently unless C spends $xxxx to get some server or something installed, I really don’t know. I’m just the PA. I get coffee, files and sometimes laundry.

I’m really having a blast working there. I think C is looking for a protege or something, because he let me do some calculations this afternoon also, which I believe I failed miserably in, but I gave it a go anyways. Finance is something I doubt I could ever really get into, but we’ll never know. C is trying to talk me out of the Police, but I told him I’m way too righteous and ethical to live in the world of grey that is finance brokering lol. Should be getting paid tomorrow, which means money on Monday! Yay! Just in time for the holidays*!

*By holidays I mean ‘Catch-up-on-uni-stuff Week!’. I am so over uni right now. Today marks the end of Week 10. I have just three weeks to complete three pieces of assessment. That’s one a week, but they’re all due in Week 12. Sigh. Lucky I only have the one exam (on Chinese culture lol). This semester has been far too long. I really can’t wait for the Summer and Summer semester! C says I can probably work more (lol, there I go, talking about work again).

I finished writing my Sociology paper on ‘The Exodus of The Queensland Police Service: Increasing job satisfaction and decreasing police turnover’, and even handed it in a whole day before it was due. I was so chuffed!

So WP word count tells me I’m nearing 600 words. I really should blog more often!
