First day on the job went surprisingly well considering I was running on 2 hours of sleep.
Some Impressions:
Everyone there is really nice.
Everyone there is really in a relationship :-p (I know
afraidofliving can relate to that horror)
All the students are insanely good looking, too bad I'm too busy working to flirt with any of them.
It was a fairly slow day over all. Only picked up as I was leaving. Most of the day I just learned the ropes, how to check stuff in and out, how to file the reserves, that sort of stuff.
I know we bitched alot about how disorganized the Knox library was but at least everything there is filed on computers. The reserves at NYIT are all manual check outs so it takes some practice to keep track of what's in and what's out. Makes for some pretty hefty crowds at the circ desk as well.
And NYIT actually has a metal detector, which means I don't have to check everyopne's bag as they leave, but by the same token I have to get used to sensitizing and desensitizing every book that come in or goes out. I forgot to do it ALL day today so everyone I checked out made the alarms go off. Oops. That'll take some practice.
Found out I didn't need my birth certificate. Apparently all my other ID was enough. Yay!
I left early for lunch and walked over to Mom's office to see if we could dine together. She was leaving the building just as I was coming in so she was very surprised. We went across the street, bought some pizza, and then went back upstairs and ate in her office break room. It was very pleasant and she was happy I came over. I figured I should do it now since i won't be able to as soon as I start my regular hours.
I came home and immediately crashed. I woke four hours later, but I don't plan on being awake much longer. Crashing was nice. Want to do more of it.
Tomorrow I get to go clothes shopping, hooray!
And then Saturday it's back to work.
Night night.
