I *really* think I'm going to love it - the job itself is so varied, you never know what's going to be thrown at you in a day, and I love work with that kind of variety.
The thing right now is, with what we do, there are a million things to do within larger projects, and with a few exceptions, it's hard to do most of the smaller things without a broader knowledge of the larger, complete projects - how they're done, period, and also, specific knowledge about that specific project/client. (could I
be any more vague?). So I did do some things last week, but I finished them all, and nothing new will be starting till over the next few days, so for the past 2 or 3 days, I've mostly been hanging out at my supervisor and co-workers desks, and they're explaining to me what they're doing as they're working. It's been interesting, but also a little frustrating and boring, because I wish I could just jump in and do things now! And with them being without a 3rd team member for the past month or two, they're kind of swamped. I just wish I could help more! Oh well, like I said, I feel like I've learned a lot already, and it's given me the opportunity to ask a ton of questions about things that are normal for the work, but also about unique situations as they crop up.
Personally, all of the people in the place seem great, still extremely friendly, the people in our wider department about 20 or 30 of us, especially so, but I'm sort of in love with our little team of three.
Today we had sort of an intense, unique 'bonding experience,' and I was touched that I was included. They are two very awesome women, on a personal level, and as co-workers/mentors.
