First Day on the New Job - Sort Of

So, today was my first day at my new job. I wasn't sure what to expect first thing, since it hadn't really been discussed much beforehand and there is no replacement for my old job yet. I was happy to find that when I got to work this morning, they were already in the process of moving my phone and computer to my new desk.

I spent the first hour of my day cleaning out some old stuff from my work area and getting files organized. Then I sorted through all the resumes coming in for the Admin position and pretty much carried on doing odd jobs from my old position for the majority of the day. It was kind of like doing my old job, BUT at a different desk. I expected that this was somewhat how things would be for a while. Until they get a new person hired, I think I'll be splitting my time between the two positions. Kind of sucks, but that's life. At least we're moving in the right direction. Eventually, I will be able to put that job behind me and focus entirely on my new position (looking forward to that).

In the meantime, at least I don't have to answer the phones anymore, AND PERHAPS MORE IMPORTANTLY, I can actually leave my work area (and even go to the bathroom) without having to tell anybody and making sure that someone is available to answer the phone if it rings while I am away.
