well i have a new job too.
we are in a facility that's too small, so i'm sharing an office with the manager of client services. I don't know what that job entails, but.
a. my office mate is OLD. like... oh...70? he's covered in liver spots.
b. he makes noises all day. he talks to himself, he grunts at the computer, he mutters under his breath.
c. he gave me wrong info twice today. I just started and he was telling me that we signed up for a tradeshow and need to send 700 promotional items. and it had to be printed literature. I knew that didn't make sense, so i called and he was wrong about the amount and the type of item. Then he grunted and said, "oh, you know, they're never happy with what you send."
5. at 4pm, he got up and shut off the air conditioner. JUST as the sun settled right into a spot that was burning a hole in my scalp. I got up and shut the blinds and he said, "you don't like light?"
I said, "i do, but it's shining into my face".
His suggestion was that I turn my back to the window, which means that I can't see my monitor. I said it wouldn't work, and that we'd have to shut the blinds at 4. He scowled at me.
on a nice note, i got a cute email from my boss, who said it must be nice to start my first day with my boss being out of town.
I also had my lunch bought for me and was told they barbeque every wednesday.
I also wrote a promotional "blurb" that came out perfect.
