First Day at the New Job

So I started my new job today. It was a little boring because I am being trained so things were going slow and we had to take breaks whenever my boss was interrupted, but for the most part is was pretty cool. Everyone was very friendly, and we all sat down together for lunch. The town I work in is very small, and because of the town's ordinances, everyone brings their own lunch, or they go down to the local grocery store to purchase salads a la carte, sandwiches, or the daily soup special. My mom made my lunch for me. She had called while I was out at Sweet Charity and Nanny Mongo 911's house and asked what I wanted. This is the life. I can't remember the last time my mom packed my lunch for me, but I can hardly remember living at home last too. It does have it's perks though, because there was no way in hell I was attempting to make my bed at 5 o'something this morning, but when I got home, mom had done it for me. I don't want to get used to it though. She asked me the other day if I wanted her to wash my clothes. I said no. I ended up washing mine and hers (+ a dad and the kids). I would rather not loose touch of all the things I have been doing for the 8 years away from home.

Back to the job......

I felt like I was in Pre-K all over again. I got to color with 3 colors. Yellow, green, and pink. It was fun! I am only joking. I did color, but it was a very useful way my boss did things to determine whether or not cars have been assigned, whether or not they were finished, and if they were staying over night. I did as he put it "bust his chops" about it, but it was indeed a very efficient way of going about things.

I hope that this is the job I am going to stay in for a while. Everyone there seems to really like it. The other people in my position have been there 1) 2 years, and 2) 6 years, so someone must be doing something right. The thing is, I was put in to take someone else's spot, while the other in the same spot moves up, and the service manager we currently have goes to the sister dealership to do the same thing for more money.

I must admit I like how they move up within the company instead of hiring in. That way I know that if I stick with it, I can make the most potential money possible and work my way all the way to the top. Besides the guy in my position was telling me how to go about filing single 0 on my tax form rather than single 1 because apparently we make too much money and if we file single 1, we end up owing a few grand to the government when tax season come back around. Glad someone filled me in on that!

Well, I am tired and I need to get cleaned up for tomorrow. Today was a good day, and hopefully tomorrow will be even better.

Just for the record, I made my lunch for tomorrow......
