toto, we’re not in the corporate world anymore
Day 3 on the (full-time) job. I’ve spent much of the past three days scurrying about — rearranging my office and consolidating markers and tape and glue sticks into manageable piles (and then chucking them — I’m not a freaking preschool teacher), attending meetings and taking notes and trying to figure out how the heck to do my job, being physically and mentally exhausted. Working at a non-profit is so unlike working for a big company. For whatever reason — lack of manpower, lack of time — they don’t have things prepared for new staff members in advance of their arrival. Email isn’t set-up. The office isn’t vacuumed. There’s no filing cabinet. Etc. Etc.
But…the people are super friendly and almost grateful to have me. It’s nice to feel needed. My only worry is that I’m not going to be able to actually do the job that I convinced them I can handle. Oh, and that I’m not going to be able to get used to waking up early again.
I have NO idea how I’m going to be to keep a full-time and a part-time job at the same time. I already feel worn down. How do people manage to do everything at work and still make time to go to the gym, meet up with friends, go out for drinks, play Wii?
