First Day...Last Day

Today was the first day of my three day temp job. It was also the last day, but I'll get to that.

I went to bed later than I planned and lay there, wide awake for a long time. I was feeling really anxious about working again after being off for so long and I knew I would miss Jordan terribly.

Once I got into the groove of getting ready I felt much better about going. I left the house pretty close to the time I wanted to (read: late) and hit every green light on my way and ended up arriving 20 minutes early. Had to be a great sign right?

The company I was to work for - Frito Lay - was directly across the street from the company I worked at for 10 years so I was very familiar with the area. I thought about dropping in to visit after work but decided against it.

I met one of the other temps right away and within five minutes I knew her entire life story, how she was going to move out west to Vancouver a year ago but discovered she had breast cancer. After fighting that for the last year she was now ready to re-enter the workforce. She was very outspoken and did the majority of the talking for both of us. Being that I was out of my element I let her wear the pants in our newly formed relationship.

The work was extremely simple: enter a customer number, verify the name, and print. NEXT! Three temps were hired for three days. Three temps finished all the work in three hours. End of assignment.

I was on my way home before noon.

So there you have it. My exciting day in a nutshell. No crazy stories to tell.

I feel better having "gotten my feet wet" so to speak. I won't be so nervous for the next placement I hope.
