First day of work: Complete. I hate it. I'm moving back to Missouri.
Haha, just kidding! (As awesome as moving back to Missouri would be...) My first day was pretty good. I didn't get to do much due to the need for training and my overwhelming incompetence in terms of Tetra Pak know-how. I met some co-workers, went out to lunch, and attended my first ever HR meeting! It was exactly like you think it would be. Next week is where the real fun will begin, and I can't wait. I have a decent sized desk and a laptop docking station. Yes, I finally have one of those desks where you hook up your laptop and have two screens to maneuver between. I've hit the big time.
Some fun things I noticed while on the job:
1. A guy who works by me could be the twin of Darryl from The Office... maybe they're related.
2. Everyone still kind of treats me as a college student. (Young, naive, you know the drill.) My co-workers seem to be okay, though. Oh well, just another chance to prove myself.
3. Traffic getting out of that place is going to be a nightmare. I left at 3:30 today (which is early) and I was stuck for who knows how long! Ahhh!
So, in terms of overall experience, the kids were nice to me and I think we'll all get along on the Tetra Pak playground. I then ventured out this evening and completed my first full grocery experience. My store of choice? Kroger, of course! I even picked up a nifty Kroger Plus card. Now, for my friends in Warrenton, this is not your typical Kroger. I wish everyone could see it, it's huge! We're talking Wal-Mart size. I walked in, the floors were clean and my mind literally exploded. This is going to be good!
Anyway, I guess that's enough for now. I'll probably post again after this weekend. Mission: find a living room set! Til then, goodbye from sunny Texas!
