Hmm...
So, the week has been extremely slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I don't know yet if I'm even going to like the job itself, because this week has been a lot of bullshit thus far. Monday and Tuesday were company training (very boring. Tuesday not as bad as Monday, but still very long AND we started a half-hour earlier). Wednesday and today were sort-of department training (and by department training I mean we went over departmental stuff for about 15 minutes with the supervisors for one of the buildings in GB as well as the supervisor whose department will have all of us when we're done with training and the rest of the day we kind of dorked around and didn't accomplish much). Today we spent the morning taking ethical training bullshit and I almost fell asleep multiple times.
I was thinking about going to Ripon tomorrow night but I have to go back to Milwaukee to pack up my stuff to move to Appleton on Saturday. I'm so bummed!! I've always wanted to see the Wingra Wind Quintet (faculty woodwind quintet from Madison) - just goes to prove that even after I graduate Ripon manages to suck. :) But I've freed my calendar for February 24 (and I even have a date for the occasion - none other than Ms. Vidal!) to see the something-or-other string trio PLUS OBOE! WOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! (yeah, I'm a big dork, but oh well). Except they might play the Mozart quartet about a million times better than my recital, but who cares? :)
Anyway, so the good news is that I've met a lot of nice people in training. I think everyone is older than me - a lot of them with kids and such. After spending 4 years in the college atmosphere, it's weird hearing about people who don't seem all that much older than me talking about their kids. There's one girl in our group from Phoenix who has never really seen snow, much less driven in it. Haha! We're going to have fun with her reactions to snow, or heck, even the weather we've been having lately (50s)....
I have to call my apartment complex tomorrow to let them know a number to call to confirm that I am indeed an employee of xyz company...because that is the only thing standing between me and my own apartment!!! Score!
Facebook has lost some of its amusement, but I did form the Kurt Dietrich Fan Club. We're kicking the ass (member-wise) of the Professor Blake Fan Club...(which I am also a member of!).
Anyway, it's going to be a long day tomorrow and I have to drive home after work. Ta-ta for now, kiddies!
