Starting work

May 22, 2006 on 7:17 pm | In Uncategorized | No Comments

Today was my first day at the new job.  Well, I’m totally not doing my real job yet.  It was induction.  It was a lot like the induction/training/propaganda/brainwashing that I had at my last job.  In fact, they even use the exact same online training software.  Today I got to hear about the structure of the organization (yawn) and confidentiality (which I’ve heard at least 3 times before) and good patient care (which doesn’t apply to me so much since I work with paper).  I also did online training courses on fire safety and how to lift heavy things.  I get more fire safety tomorrow, and more lifting of heavy things on wednesday.

At least this induction is only 2 1/2 days, and not 6 weeks like at my last job.  And there was free coffee and cookies which was nice.  Plus, meeting people is easy because I’m American so that’s always a good conversation starter.
