This that and the other thing. Though there might be more of this than that. And little of the other things. Maybe.

To Whine or Not To Whine...

I thought about using this post to tell about my first couple days at "work" but thought that'd be waaaay too much whining. I mean really, do yall really want to hear how on my first day my boss didn't show until 9 (HR guy never called to tell him that I was starting on Monday at 7.30) and I had to loiter about in another office (after being escorted by a security guard up and down the halls and a couple of different floors because I didn't know the room # and the one in the directory was wrong,then we finally found someone who directed us to the right office) until he showed up and told me that I was working in a different group than I thought.

Nor do yall want to hear that my computer still isn't set up so I can't really do any work and I can't even surf the web, my phone works but I can't setup voice mail (or maybe it's already set up and I just can't access it?) until my computer is set up, the person training me needs to be smacked so that she doesn't contradict herself ("you should ask more questions" and the VERY next question I ask she replies, "it's in the manual, look it up"), doesn't insinuate that I'm slow ("this stuff is really easy"), doesn't get impatient when I take notes (she had said to me "you might want to take notes, this is a lot of stuff to take in and I can't imagine you'd remember it all") and a plethora of other comments just like that.

So, instead of whining, what shall I blog about? The jumping spiders that are in my apartment? Noooo.. The crickets in my apartment? Noooo. Umm the maniac drivers? Nah, already touched upon those in my previous entry and nothing much has changed - all road signs are still optional.

I get to see my nephew this weekend!! That's some darn good news!! Oh and my folks, brother and sis-in-law (I constantly type sister and then have to go add -in-law cause it'd just sound Really weird.. my brother married to my sister, etc. tho they do live close to WV..... *grin*) too, that's not bad either. Granted we'll be moving the rest of my paraphenalia from NC to VA so it won't be all fun and games.

I've sort of lost my train of thought and wind for this entry, so I'll end it here. Kind of abrupt and random, I know. ACK! Virgina is rubbing off on me!! Send in reinforcements!!! ;)

I was wondering what got you. Glad it's not the jumping spiders or crickets *smile*
That lady at the office sounds like a real piece of work. I hope things go better in the next week.
Good luck finishing moving.
 
Whine away ... we'll listen ... well ... read! (Or you can call anytime, if you want to do it vocally, you know!)

Hope you're having some spiffy weather, at least!! *grin*
