Working again

Well I am back on the job for my only night shift. It cuts Chi Alpha short which is frankly dissapointing. I don't get to talk much with my friends there then :( However hopefully next year I can move upwards or at least push my night shift to a better night (Monday!). My first shift was quite easy until the end when my replacement didn't come. I could not contact the higher ups so I was left in the lurch. Now it woulda been slightly less steessful if I had noted somewhere my class started at 1:35 NOT 1 but alas I did not so when I finally left I believed I was a whopping 20 minutes late. I thought I handled the situation about right for not remembering what I had to do, in fact I am pretty sure I was supposed to try and contact my bosses and not abandon my post if all possible. In the end my directly above me chain in the command (don't ask why I don't contact him, things are sort of compartmentalized) said not to worry about it. It would help if I didn't worry about such things but I do and frankly I don't think initially I am very good at any job I do. It takes me a few shifts to get used to things before I start running pretty smoothly and even then a new problem can throw me for a fairly significant loop. I don't think I handle change all that well. I just try and roll with it and kind of bump along. The next couple shifts should be uneventful and then hopefully the class we have will actually give me some useful info. Such as switching toner cartridges and submitting work orders, so on and so forth. It's not like they are hard things but it helps to see it done or try it out before you have to do it with people watching who think you know exactly what you're doing. Or maybe they don't but it feels that way to me and it's my impression we're supposed to handle all that competently which I feel I could do better if I had just a touch more training. Anywho...

Sometime soon I am gonna give a run down on all the blogs and journals I have links to in case anyone is curious how they got there. That will have to compete with the fact I have finally gotten the two Neverwinter Nights expansions and will be playing them often. Additionally Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds is enroute and I have been warned that Seth's got Death Star and I need to practice alot. Fun stuff eh?

Good news is I should be able to get much homework done during these initial lab periods so this way I can relax and keep up with school without sacrificing sleep.
