Something new

Well, today I "started" my new job at Something Digital. I don't start full time until the new year, but I'm working a few casual hours between now and then, when I can. First impressions? Well, it was only a two hour shift, but I think it's going to be great! My head hurts from all of the new information, but I'm really excited to be learning something new again. The place is great...it's small, but it's got a sweet view (ok, so it looks out onto the highway, but the entire storefront is windows, and when you're used to working in the mall, it's pretty nice to have real light). The owners/staff are all super friendly and made me feel welcome. I think it'll be a great combination...I love working retail because I enjoy working with people, and a big part of the job will be trouble shooting/problem solving...customer says "I want to be able to do this...what do I need?", and we get to figure it out. And the best part of all (which previously I thought to be impossible in retail) is the hours...no evenings! Yeehaw!

I'm still pretty nervous about the whole thing...so much to learn. Back in my highschool days (like seven years ago) I was really into computers...took a few courses for geeks and did really well, but that was a long time ago. And at the rate these crazy things change, it'll be a real challenge to keep on top of things. But, life would be boring without a challenge, right?

Anywhoos, have a super day. Isn't this warm weather awesome? This is my kind of December...although a little more snow before Christmas wouldn't hurt :)

Wow, didn't know that. Walter will be somewhat jealous that you get to be around all the fun gadgets and learn about new technologies. We wish you well in this new job.
